This file is no longer needed, but I haven't deleted it yet in case it's useful.

Apologies to people in New Zealand, but you are currently unable to use FreeGuide on Windows*.
cd "C:\Program Files\FreeGuide\xmltv"
then type one of the following:
If you're from the UK (all one line): | xmltv.exe tv_grab_uk --config-file tv_grab_uk.conf --share "C:\Program Files\FreeGuide\xmltv\share\xmltv" --configure |
If you're from the US or Canada: | xmltv.exe tv_grab_na --config-file tv_grab_na.conf --configure |
If you're from Finland: | xmltv.exe tv_grab_fi --config-file tv_grab_fi.conf --configure |
If you're from Spain: | xmltv.exe tv_grab_es --config-file tv_grab_es.conf --configure |
If you're from the Netherlands (you may get some errors, but carry on): | xmltv.exe tv_grab_nl --config-file tv_grab_nl.conf --configure |
If you're from Denmark: | xmltv.exe tv_grab_dk --config-file tv_grab_dk.conf --configure |
If you're from Hungary: | xmltv.exe tv_grab_hu --config-file tv_grab_hu.conf --configure |
If you're from Italy: | xmltv.exe tv_grab_it --config-file tv_grab_it.conf --share "C:\Program Files\FreeGuide\xmltv\share\xmltv" --configure |
Now follow the instructions and provide the info you're asked for. This will configure your listings grabber. Now you can run FreeGuide.
NOTE: if you have WinRAR installed, or another program that opens JAR files instead of allowing them to be run as java programs, you'll need to open a Cmd window, and type:
cd "C:\Program Files\FreeGuide\"
java -jar FreeGuide.jar
See the README for info on how to use FreeGuide.
If you have any problems, contact us and we'll sort you out.
* Techie people might be able to get FreeGuide working for New Zealand, but you'll need to have a working installation of Python, and then you'll need to install FreeGuide for another country (I suggest Spain) and then modify the settings in the "Advanced Options" screen.
