mc2xml no longer working...

[MillmoorRon]

Did you try grabbing the version from here (it appears to be 1.7.2):

http://mc2xml.awardspace.info/

It worked for me, but maybe I just got lucky.

I only get version 1.7.0 from this link. Is there another source?

The download from the archive site is a newer version and seems to cure the problem. if you right-click and look at the properties/details (Windows11), although the version is shown as 1.7.0.0, the date modified is 08/10/2022. Checking the previous version the details were the same, but again the date modified had changed. Also, **after checking with your virus checker** remember to click the box that says the file was downloaded from somewhere else, otherwise Windows won't run it.

Yes, the version numbers look confusing. 1.7.2 was only visible on the configuration gui when running the program.

Is mc2xml still developed/supported? (I can't find any links to support.)

My problem is changing channel names with a .ren file.

It doesn't work if the channel name begins with a number.

Anyone know a way around this?

e.g.

extract from .ren file:

I147.82858.schedulesdirect.org:More4
I130.108969.schedulesdirect.org:5 Action


extract from resulting .xml:

<channel id="I147.82858.schedulesdirect.org">
<display-name>More4</display-name>

<channel id="I5 Action.108969.schedulesdirect.org">
<display-name>5ACTION</display-name>


The first line changes "display-name" as expected but the second one changes the "channel id" instead.

The documentation says:

If you want to rename some channel numbers or names you can create a "mc2xml.ren" text file (in the same directory as mc2xml.dat) listing the colon separated from:to channel numbers or names on separate lines.

What happens if you try a ren entry of 5ACTION:5 Action

What happens if you try a ren entry of 5ACTION:5 Action

This works but I wanted to link the names to the (unique) channel id rather than display-name, of which there are 3 or 4 alternatives for each channel.

This works unless the name begins with an integer.
