MegaEPG 0.9.11 has been released to the public. Download it from the official distribution page or from the mirror site.The release introduces 2 new scripts: hot_ru for Russian HOT customers and vista_he - downloading a complete guide from the Microsoft EPG service. The channels definition file has been updated as well reflecting the latest YES changes and new channels. New channels include 5+ Live, 5+ Gold, El Jazzeera English, France 24, Rotana and RTM.
If you are uploading from the previous version, you may backup the cache directory. Copy it to another location before installing the MegaEPG and move back after the installation. The setup removes the cache by default.
vista_he script usage
Microsoft provides the EPG service to its Vista Media Center users for free. The EPG service license requires you to use the service exclusively with the Vista Media Center. In addition to the service license and translating the lawyers' language to a plain one, I am kindly asking you to appreciate Microsoft's hard work (and who knows the situation with EPG in Israel would agree with me that was really hard work) and the resources Microsoft is investing in order to support the service. You may use the script only if you have a valid Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate edition license and for purposes that do not conflict with the service license.
The script is capable to obtain a complete EPG for all the available channels. Below is an example of the minimal megaepg.ini file for use with the script (do not use the epgconfig Wizard since it does not currently support "all channels"), rather copy-paste the example and save as the megaepg.ini:
