Thanks - I've tweaked this and will see how it goes over the next couple of weeks!

I just installed the newest version and the default language is still overridden be the un-commented

I have tried to comment that line and changing it to "en" but I am still getting German enhancements.

Here is my current .config file.

Hi sgibbers! Long time not read

For Argus Forum you have to zip the files.
Could you provide please both files, I guess, this is not your full config file (If so, it CAN´T work - as the nodes are not closed) AND log file?

      This section allows you to create mappings from names in the 
      guide data (i.e., SchedulesDirect) to names in thetvdb.com.
      
      You need this because the names are not always equal.  It comes
      in handy for shows that have the same name a really old shows....
      Like Chase on NBC needs to have a mapping to Chase (2010) to help 
      this tool find the proper series.

      Use the logs to help debug.

      If a regular name mapping does not work, you can use thetvdb.com
      show ID as a direct map as shown with $..! My Dad Says below.
      
      Also, you can use regular expressions to handle schedulesDirectNaming
      problems for series names that occasionally have too much information 
      in it.  The third example shows the use of a regex to tvdb.com name.
      The fourth example shows using a regex to tvdb.com id

      For shows that you record but know you're not going to find reliable
      data on thetvdb.com, you can just choose to ignore them.  See 
      the fifth entry for an example.  The tvdbComName still needs to be there
      for the XML parser, so just make it an empty string like the example.

    <seriesMap schedulesDirectName="$..! My Dad Says" tvdbComName="id=164951" />
    <seriesMap schedulesDirectName="regex=Boston Leg.*" tvdbComName="Boston Legal" />

I tried uploading my log file but it keeps saying extension not allowed. I tried changing the extension to something else but was still not able to upload it.

It should be the whole config file. I'll try uploaded the log file later today.

Here is my Log and Config file.

I'm not sure what could go wrong as it connects to Argus successfully.
Have you tried rebooting? Does Argus TV work correctly overall?

I am using Argus 2.3 with Guide Enhancer 2.3.3.29888 from gethub and an XMLTV from tvguide.com using webgrab+plus 1.1.1/54

Every thing seems to be working fine other than it is changing my EPG to German.

Is there a way to disable the guide enhancer other than uninstalling it or disable the service with in windows, possibly by changing a line to "false" or commenting out a line.

Did you delete your cache?
Simply delete everything within the directory tvdblibcache (resides by default directly on C:\). All subfolders and files. Deletion is harmless, it will be rebuilt reading it from TheTVDB.org (in the correct language, I guess. Let us know.

Greetz - Chris

I'll have to try that when I get a chance.

ChrisRichner, Christoph21x and other Argus-TV Guide Enhancer devs,

Once Argus-TV can store more EPG related data in its db are you guys willing to built the Argus-TV Guide Enhancer into Argus TV server?

Argus-TV Guide Enhancer could provide most of the properties that we are missing today for movies and tv shows.
This would be a great step up. I hope you see some light in this

Edit: I believe it would be possible to do this without merging Argus-TV Guide Enhancer into Argus TV server, but nonetheless I think your great tool deserves a place in the core itself especially if it will provide all this useful data to our EPGs.
