which grabbers to you use, only XMLTX.exe or something else like tvxb,...did it crash during grabbing or during translation

did you downloaded the older versions, there is still no installer so you need to use ddl's from
autoEPG_v0.2.0_01.03.2010.rar
autoEPG_v0.0.4_19.02.2010.rar
autoEPG_v0.4.0_04.03.2010.rar

files
ChilkatDotNet2.dll
DevComponents.DotNetBar2.dll
Nini.dll

[zona]

update
don't install in Program Files (or folder path containing " " space xmltv does not support long_name path) best install location c:\autoEPG
soon (in a day or two) full install version will be released

• urgent update, the installer has a flaw, it does not crate the folder C:\autpEPG\RAW\ and it fails to start, please create this folder manualy!
  
• quick tips if using other than XMLTV.exe point to the exported XMLTV.xml file to the RAW folder and name them something like this XMLTVepgstream.xml or XMLTVde.xml, run GRABB all then select in settings which files you want to be translated (check them), click SAVE, than Translate, configure BIGscreen EPG (if you use it) point for the sources to the files in the XMLTV folder and compete the process in the BIGscreen EPG, after this initial setup it will run automatically only with starting autoEPG with autoGRABB and autoINJECT options checked (ONLY the full version!!!)
  
• the updated setup will be available shortly ...

[wallaceff]

The app is a bit sketchy about what it does. Will this app download and insert guide data into MCE XP? or just Win7? (I assume I just need a valid xmltv file?)
