MegaEPG 1.3.1

The MegaEPG 1.3.1 is available in the Downloads section. There are some fixes for the issues have been discovered since v1.3.0. HOT channels 4 and 6 have correct mapping now, BBC Prime channel was also added. This release introduces the automatic EPG database update for MCE/Vista mediacenters. Now you don't have to worry about invoking "Get Latest Guide" after running MegaEPG. The MegaEPG will insert the latest EPG into mediacenter automatically. This is especailly useful with the dvb script: you can update the mediacenter EPG as many times a day as you want.

In order to turn the automatic EPG update on, add automceupdate=1 to the global section of the megaepg.ini (this feature is off by default).

Windows MCE 2005 users should also turn the .NET security off in order to use the auto-update feature (Vista users are ok). This is the requirement of .NET v1.0 and my "no pre-requesties" policy did not allow me to request installation of .NET 2.0 :-). To turn the .NET security off, enter the command line: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\caspol -s off

You may have a different version of the .NET framework (e.g. ..Framework\v1.0.3705). Browse your Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework directory to find the latest 1.x version installed on your system. You should do this operation only once. If you'd like to stop using the auto-update feature and turn the .NET security back on, enter the command: ...\Framework\v1.1.4322\caspol -s on
