BAT file code below (See Step 4) for XMLTV, then it will put your listings in the SageTV directory properly. And make sure you supply this XML listings in the SageTV directory and that it is named epgdata.xml.

SAGETV PLUGIN ZIP
If you get totally lost and break your SageTV setup, you can just exit SageTV and copy the contents of the SageTVBackup folder back to the SageTV folder.ĭownload and install XMLTV v0.5.16 (the Win32 zip file): You could create a SageTVBackup folder in the Frey Technologies folder (c:\Program Files\Frey Technologies\SageTVBackup) and copy everything there so it's easy to find. If you want to be really safe, exit SageTV and copy the entire SageTV folder (c:\Program Files\Frey Technologies\SageTV) somewhere. It might be a good idea to backup your existing SageTV setup before installing the XMLTV plugin (or making other radical changes). Don't just put it to sleep, make sure you exit completely. Prior to starting, make sure you Exit from SageTV.
