I realise that this is not a supported version but I have patched Media Center on to a Win10 install and managed to get it up and running - except that I can not get the IceTV data to show as an option for the channel under the 'edit listings' list of data.

I've been using MCE for nearly 10 years and was an early adopter of IceTV and have built and upgraded quite a number of machines over the years so I've been through the process quite a few times - but I can't figure out what might be the issue.  At the moment I have the broadcast data displaying and working with no issues and the "IceTV Interactive" app is installed and connecting fine but doesn't seem to be pulling the data.

It has been a while since I did a fresh install so it could be a basic error I'm doing even though I've read through the support docs on the website.

Log is below and the device is 'laptop'.  The other two machines are not operating at the moment.

I'm curious to know if there is any feedback from IceTV or if other subscribers have also noticed the same.

The timing may be a coincidence but at the end of last year I changed over to Win7 and as such found that I had to use the new IceTV guide loader but since then the quality of the data does not seem to be as consistent as it was previously.

I accept that there are going to be the occasional errors but the quality seems to have slipped considerably recently.

The thing that is the most frustrating is that previously, any 'movie' was always prefixed with "Movie:" and then had the title, however since late 2009 and my migration across to Win7 the use of this prefix seems to be quite random and at times is totally missing.  For example it can be "Movie-", "M-" or have no prefix at all.  

I realise that Win7 can pick up the broadcast EPG but I have checked (both media center machines) and all the channels have been set up with the IceTV data on each.

Apart from just liking things to be consistent, my issue with this random prefix is that when the recording I want to keep are filed in the system then it puts the movies out of order in the library.

So, is it possible for IceTV to get back in the habit of using a standard prefix like previously?
