Nevermind, it wouldn't be appreciated. Pay for it instead.

So you're supporting it for all the folks here? You're the go-to for questions and answers to problems?

@OP: It would be appreciated if it was complete. Ignoring the fact on where this free guide data came from, what is the user supposed to do with an XMLTV file? You can't just wave that in front of WMC and magically have guide listings. How are you going to convert an XMLTV to an MXF? Do some research, find out how it can work. There is EPG Collector which will be a nightmare for this task, there is BSEPG which is pay-for and fairly complicated with hundreds of dials you can tweak, and there are a few homegrown attempts you can find on GitHub that may/may not work.

You want to declare that you solved world hunger and showed everyone a sketch of a plant seed.

If anyone is wondering, the OP posted a link to a YouTube video on how to use zap2xml. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEHCBhpyPRQ

Posted the answer than took it down. Too many know-it-alls on this site. No more logins or posts. Goodbye! Now maybe they'll delete my profile and posts as I've asked more than one.

Wow.

The guy joined the site just a few weeks ago and he already knows he's too good for all of the members.

Now he's going to punish us by leaving.

Oh well. :lol:
