XMLTV Automate

The purpose of this program is to make it easy for new users to get a XMLTV file for their use, and to automatically schedule updates to that file. This program does this by making use of several .bat files in the program directory as well as using the built-in Windows Task Scheduler.

Please Read:

The scheduler needs to be run with a user account associated that has a password. The administrator account should work fine if you don't have another. This is a requirement with the Windows Task Scheduler that the user account be a password-protected one.

Running under Windows account without password:

If you plan on running this under a different account than you are currently on, then you will want to immediately run this program the first time so that you can answer the questions that are displayed from the xmltv configuration process, like Zip code, cable service etc. So launch the program and configure the settings and then hit the 'Run Update Now' button to immediately start the process. If you are running Windows XP (and maybe Win2000), then the next time it runs using the scheduler it will run under the other account so you won't see it happening.

 

Software Prerequisites:

This program is designed to run with the US,Canada, UK, Germany/Austria, and Sweden/Norway XMLTV listings and includes the XMLTV files so you don't need to download them.
