654251 2008-04-15 09:52:00 OOOHHH UPDATE!!!!

I right clicked the UpdateMCEepg.cmd file and clicked run as administrator and it started looking like it was doing its thing... but then the window just dissapeared and nothing else happened!!! I'm guessing from your instructions that BladeRunnerPro was supposed to start and do something?

654252 2008-04-15 10:49:00 By the sounds of things, BladeRunner Pro ran perfectly when you ran it as admin :thumbs: . That quickguide.exe is part of BRP...
Basically, BRP is a command line app, so it ran in that black box that eventually vanished.
Another way to check to see that it's worked is that guide.bin should be in C:\Windows\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData

654254 2008-04-15 13:14:00 Now continue from steps 4-7 in the instructions I laid out a couple of weeks ago.. You don't need to do step 8, as it has already been done. Sherman (9181)
654255 2008-04-16 05:55:00 Okay, cheers . Now on to the next problem . . . I'm up to "Customize BladeRunner to make the guide available from the local machine via IIS," in this guide . ( . tvxb . com/doc/Vista-BladerunnerPro%20Instructions . htm" target="_blank">www . tvxb . com) It says:

Modify the following html files in C:\Windows\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\Native to look like the following

(The blue-colored text shows what needs to be changed in your file . "localhost" could be replaced by the name of the computer if you wish, however localhost works okay . )

Encryption key values: I suggest keeping the original encryption keys values in your own GetEPGDataMetaInfo . html file . If you experience problems, only then, use the values shown below .

-- GetEPGDataMetaInfo . html ----
<?xml version="1 . 0" standalone="yes"?>
<EPGMetaInfo xmlns=" . tvdownload . microsoft . com/TVServices . Platform . XDS/1 . 0">" target="_blank">data . tvdownload . microsoft . com
<URL> . bin</URL>" target="_blank">localhost
<EncryptionKey xmlns="">RL9+i8Ed4qw=</EncryptionKey>
<Hash xmlns="">XqjVbQczSieC8ckcSfheaA==</Hash>
</EPGMetaInfo>


-- GetTVServicesMetaInfo . html --
<?xml version="1 . 0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceMetaInfo xmlns=" . tvdownload . microsoft . com/TVServices . Platform . XDS/1 . 0">" target="_blank">data . tvdownload . microsoft . com
<SessionToken>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</SessionToken>
<Service name="EPGService" defaultScheme="http" serverName="localhost" hostName="localhost" hostPort="localhost" path="Native">
<Interface name="GetHeadendList" scheme="http" subPath="GetHeadendList . html" />
<Interface name="GetEPGDataMetaInfo" scheme="http" subPath="GetEPGDataMetaInfo . html" />
</Service>
</ServiceMetaInfo>


Now, my "GetEPGDataMetaInfo . html" file looks nothing like the one above . Here's what it looks like:

<?xml version="1 . 0" standalone="yes"?>
<EPGMetaInfo xmlns=" . tvdownload . microsoft . com/TVServices . Platform . XDS/1 . 0">" target="_blank">data . tvdownload . microsoft . com
<URL>file://desktop/admin$/ehome/BladeRunnerPro/GuideData/guide . bin</URL>
<EncryptionKey xmlns="">fIjYS+oylfQ=</EncryptionKey>
<Hash xmlns="">9CHVltRO6+C3BCvIl+Dc/g==</Hash>
</EPGMetaInfo>

Should I copy the text from the guide and paste it over the top of the html file that I have?? This is getting confusing!!!
springa886 (10558)
654256 2008-04-16 06:53:00 Simply change
<URL>file://desktop/admin$/ehome/BladeRunnerPro/GuideData/guide.bin</URL> with <URL>localhost

That is all that needs changing in that file.
Sherman (9181)
654257 2008-04-16 08:33:00 When I try to modify the file using notepad, it says:

"Cannot create the C:\Windows\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\Native\GetEPGDataM etaInfo.html file.
Make sure the path and filename are correct."

What's going wrong here?

And also the next file I have to modify, (GetTVServicesMetaInfo.html,) looks quite different to the one the guide gives me. The one in the guide is above and mine looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceMetaInfo xmlns="data.tvdownload.microsoft.com
<SessionToken>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</SessionToken>
<Service name="EPGService" defaultScheme="file" hostPort="desktop" path="admin$/ehome/BladeRunnerPro/Native">
<Interface name="GetHeadendList" scheme="file" subPath="GetHeadendList.html" />
<Interface name="GetEPGDataMetaInfo" scheme="file" subPath="GetEPGDataMetaInfo.html" />
</Service>
</ServiceMetaInfo>


Should I just copy and paste the one from the guide straight over it?
springa886 (10558)
654258 2008-04-16 08:52:00 Try running notepad as an administrator (right-click etc..), and open the file from within notepad.

For the other file you asked about, here's mine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceMetaInfo xmlns="data.tvdownload.microsoft.com
<SessionToken>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</SessionToken><Service name="EPGService" defaultScheme="http" serverName="localhost" hostName="localhost" hostPort="localhost" path="Native">
<Interface name="GetHeadendList" scheme="http" subPath="GetHeadendList.html" />
<Interface name="GetEPGDataMetaInfo" scheme="http" subPath="GetEPGDataMetaInfo.html" />
</Service>
</ServiceMetaInfo>

654259 2008-04-16 09:46:00 LOL, i thought I had it that time.... BUT, the guide says to

"Check the URLs:

localhost
and
localhost

I tried the first address and got a:

"HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

When i entered the 2nd addy, my download manager wanted to download something!! I'm guessing that's what it's supposed to do, but what do I do about the 1st addy?
springa886 (10558)
654260 2008-04-16 10:26:00 Yep, the second address is working correctly. It would have been wanting to download guide.bin

As for the first, I'm not quite sure what is happening. First, try replacing all the text within GetTVServicesMetaInfo.html with what is given in the guide. There is a possablility I made a mistake in my last post.

It looks like for some reason it's looking for a file called web.config, a file that doesn't (and shouldn't) exist.
