Title: Program guide loading only 1 day? (Solved)
Post by: jctcom on November 20, 2015, 07:39:46 pm

I have set up the program guide using Zap2it xmltv option.  It seems to run the executable and create the xmltv.xml and when I look in the file it looks like there is 7 days of data there.  But the program guide (In the television section of MC21) only seems to show 24 hours.  Is there something else I need to do in order to get the rest of the data?

Running MC 21.0.23 on Windows 10 enterprise 64-Bit fast machine with lots of RAM

Thanks.

Carl.

It should be more than a day.

Double check your system date on your machine.

System time and date are correct.

There has been a general problem with mc2xml in some countries in the last week.  Read Yaobing's posts to find out more.

Is that spelled correctly?  When I search on user name "Yaobing" I do not get any hits.

Even searching on "mc2xmltv" does not produce any hits.

Yaobing is the developer at MC that handles most of the TV functionality:

Ok.  I think I figured it out.

I thought that if I just kept scrolling down the list It would show me the following days.  But it seems I have to select the "day / Date" at the top of the list to get further than 24 hours.

If you are showing "All Channels" the list of programs can get quite long and unwieldy. That is why just 24 hours is shown, and you can use the Day and Time controls to change the start time of that 24 hours.

If you are looking for something specific, use the Search box in the top right corner of MC Standard View, and the results will include all available days in the EPG. For example, put "News" in the search box and I'm sure you will see multiple days of results.
