Update mc2xml

(1/2) > >>

klay:
The version inside of JRiver 22 is old. I've had issues attempting to get OPTA guide populated.

However, the mc2xml  version launched within JRiver is v1.4 as it has been for a very long time. I used the current version of mc2xml v1.6 and it works with colors! You need to update to the current mc2xml version used within JRiver MC22 to the currently available version of mc2xml.

CountryBumkin:
Version 1.4 is a special build the developer of mc2xml did for JRiver, so it can't just be upgraded. It works fine and provides the basic guide data that comes from Rovi. If you want better guide data then you can subscribe to the data via PercData or Schedules Direct and run Ver 1.6 externally to MC and just import the xmltv.xml file/data.

I'm not sure what you mean by "1.6 works with colors". If you are referring to the Theater View Guide view where colors are used in time slots for certain genres (like news/talk, movies, etc.) then that is not dependent on the mc2xml program, it is built into MC (it works fine with ver 1.4). If you are talking about something else regarding using colors, please explain.

Yaobing:
CountryBumkin is right.  JRiver does not have permission to use newer version of mc2xml.  If you have a newer version that works better for you, you can just reconfigure MC to use XMLTV option (running an external XMLTV program, i.e. your version of mc2xml) instead of the internal mc2xml option.

Understood. Never had colors in the OTA guide with JRiver.  Then 1.4 has not worked for me for nearly a year. Now, with 1.6 it does work. Just trying to help.

I just want *any* guide data. Haven't had guide data for nearly a year; sketchy at best prior to that.
