hi grimfull,

not set this up myself but if you haven't seen allready . .  .

there is a good tutorial here in the how to section on setting up TV guide  

http://www.xbmp.de/

hope this helps  

[Grimfull]

i setup the tv guide... i duinno where to send the files

[JayDee]

Everything is in the guide on www.xbmp.de but since you didn´t read it i´ll c&p.

When done ftp the listing.xml to the xbmp/tvguide folder (This folder was added in the
xbmp_2.3_cvs_compile_xbins_4-14-03 release.

[Grimfull]

i did read it and i got that release and copied the file there, but i dont c where i choose the tv guide option at on the menu.

[Grimfull]

ok i got the tvguide on the menu and it says proccessing list.....does this take a while?

[Grimfull]

ok i got the tvguide selectable from the xbmp menu and i sent the listing.xml file to the xbmptvguide folder, now when i choose tv guide it says, "no channels availible, process listing.xml" ...... but i already processed it and sent the file to the correct location. is that the only file u need to send to ur xbox? o and autoprocess is set to yes as well...

I have the Slayers CD and it autoinstalled TVGuide etc, so I think I can bypass some of what is in the tutorial on http://www.xbmp.de/ , but not sure where to do what.  Then I checked the ReadMe file in the TV Guide directory in XBMP and it came up with this :

==============================================================
4-14-2003

Whoops, I didn't read my own CVS notes yesterday. The /TVGuide dir has now been
created, with listing.xml in there. The 3 tvguide*.xpr files have been moved
over the old ones in the Media dir, so replace them with the now current ones
if you haven't already.
==============================================================

I did find the *.XPR files in the Media directory in the XBMP directory, so should I put those in the TVGuide directory?  What does he mean in that readme?

[shaman]

I know I have the config file for TVGuide set up right :

<tvguide>
     <visible>true</visible>
     <autoprocess>true</autoprocess>
   </tvguide>

 and when I go to the TV guide button in XBMP at the top it says the date and three times across the top like 5:30, 6:00 and 6:30.  Under that it says :

"No show listings available for this date"

"Process updated listing.xml"

So what do I do?

[JayDee]

Again why not read the full tutorial on our site.

Every single aspect to get it working is in it.
I know this for a fact becouse i got pm´s from people in every country on win98/win2k/and xp that got it working.

The time/date MUST be set correctly to ever get it working.

Yeah, read your tutorial but again like I said, I think I have almost everything I need, it's just a matter of doing like one thing I think.  Can't you just take the info that I have from my last two posts and tell me what  I need to do/get?


I mean,  I dont think I need those files from sourceforge and whatnot.....

[JayDee]

The 3 tvguide*.xpr goes into the media folder.

And i did answer your question and you still havent seen it!

"The time/date MUST be set correctly to ever get it working. "

Do this in msdash or use the sntp (simple network time protocol)  that is built into xbmp.

And the time it takes for you to get a answer here is larger compared to reading 200 lines of text.

But hey, who am i to say anything...

AHAHAH of course the time is set, sheesh!  But whatever.  So what do I do now?

I mean you can tell what I have working so far from my other posts, so what am I leaving
out?


ALSO : I am going over your tutorial now and when I downloaded the file from sourceforge xmltv-0.5.10-win32.zip, when I went to open it with winzip it said something about not being able to extract the Grab and summarize things (whatever they are)

Secondly, I am using windows ME and it says nothing of it in your tutorial, so I am lost there...

here is what I am confused with in your tutorial :

open a command promt, in win98 press start and run then type in command, and for win2k/xp type in cmd
Use the cd command do so.

Goto the folder where you unziped xmltv and type in: xmltv tv_grab_** --configure


So you are saying to type xmltv tv_grab into the folder?  did I read that wrong?

[shaman]

OK I got the part where I go to "Run" and type in command, giving me a command box dos prompt.  But then you say  "Goto the folder where you unziped xmltv and type in: xmltv tv_grab_** --configure"  ?? wtf?  I know to type in the command, but how do I type it into a folder?

[JayDee]

Sorry to say, but with that attitude of yours you wont get any more help from me.

Hopefully you´ll get it from someone that can stand you.
