Using EPGcenter with MediaPortal

EPGcenter is capable of providing EPG information to MediaPortal. To achieve this take following steps

 

[1] First of all make sure that MediaPortal is installed and configured correctly.

[2] Make sure that you have named all your channels in MediaPortal exactly the same as you have named them in EPGcenter. So if a channel is called "BBC 1" in EPGcenter then it also should be called "BBC 1" in MediaPortal.

[3] Open MediaPortal Setup and Select Television/Program Guide. Set all settings as in below picture. This is in the assumption that you have installed EPGcenter in the default location.

Believe it or not, that's it

 

 

Below is a picture of what you see in EPGcenter (of course this is just an example with only 8 channels)

Notes

MediaPortal has an EPG cache of its own. If you've messed up and provided wrong EPG data to MediaPortal you can click the "Remove All Programs From TV Database" button in the Media Portam Setup. This will clear the MediaPortal cache and you can then restart.

The EPG data used in this example was retrieved with an XMLTV Organizer input location

If you have no experience with EPGcenter yet, just know that EPGcenter does all this in background if you want it to
