Hi There,
Windows 10 Plex user from regional Australia, the default EPG does not seem to be supported in my area. to get around this I’ve setup a simple powershell script to download an XMLTV file from FREEPG - http://freepg.tv/Default.aspx these guys have a free basic EPG in my area.
The problem is that when I try to apply the file I get a file “Missing or Invalid” error. I’ve tried different paths and changing permissions with no success yet at this point. Not sure which logs to check as so far I haven’t found an error anywhere.
My issue seems to be replicated in this post ‘in Danish’ where they are trying to accomplish the same thing. Problem seems to affect Windows users for whatever reason.
Just reaching out to see if someone can give me some clue to where this might be breaking down or how I might be able to troubleshoot the issue? Is this a format issue? header info here: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

There is a bug in the handling of the path on windows. To get round the problem, specify the path in this format
example \\localhost\c$\epg\freeview.xml
Amend the path to suit the actual path for the xml file
Yes the bug is that plex alwayse inject “c:” in front of the path that we define.
I tried to leave this part out of the path, but that also fail.
So plex need to be fixed so it don’t inject the “c:”.
