Ohhh... I want it. Anyone willing to do a tutorial for dummies?

I can't seem to find an XMLTV plugin in Settings.
Do you need to set up some sort of a CRON job on W11?

Thanks!

You need to download the plugin from the first page of this thread and follow the Instructions to Install it.

Then you create a file xmltv.properties and populate with data below ... change the IP to your channelsDVR ... and put it in your SageTV folder.

configurations=xmltv.properties
provider.name=channelsdvr
provider.id=300
xmltv.files=http://10.0.0.2:8089/devices/ANY/guide/xmltv?duration=1209600
xmltv.channel.display-name.ShortNameIndex=2
xmltv.channel.display-name.LongNameIndex=1
xmltv.channel.NumberTag=lcn
xmltv.channel.NumberTagIndex=1
xmltv.channel.IconDownload=true
title.add.year=false
episode.name.add.episode.number=false

These Instructions from the first page of this thread?
1. Stop SageTV Server
2. Rename on add/modify/ xmltv_EXAMPLE.properties examples
>>> What does "Rename on" mean?
3. Copy all files and folder contents(not folder) of folder SAGETV_SERVER_ROOT to SageTV folder. Only Jar and *.proerties are required if not compiling required
>>> Is compiling required?
>>> "Copy all files and folder contents..." If not compiling, I think that means copy the contents of the Jar folder {XMLTVImportPlugin.xml) and all of the .properties files to the Sage TV folder.
4. Add the following line in Sage.properties epg/epg_import_plugin=xmltv.XMLTVImportPlugin
5. Start SageTV Server
6. Monitor in server folder xmltv.log, sagetv_0.txt,Sage.properties. If epg/epg_import_plugin=xmltv.XMLTVImportPlugin is removed from Sage.properties something is installed not correctly
7. In SageTV guide setup use XMLTV with zipcode 00000. If ask for license use TRIAL

For Channels DVR this is all you have to do.

Shutdown SageTV

Just copy the XMLTVImportPlugin.jar over to the Sage Jar folder ....

Change line in Sage.properties ... epg/epg_import_plugin=

To

epg/epg_import_plugin=xmltv.XMLTVImportPlugin


Create the file above like I asked you to... with the IP of your server copy to sagetv folder.

Start SageTV


Setup the tuners that connect to channelsDVR to use XMLTV zipcode 00000
