[Download] PC Prevue

[baliebox4916]

Trying to create a virtual machine and installing the PrevueCLI software... I don't remember the rest of the details...

If creating a virtual machine is too hard for you, I can upload an image of mine to make things easier. (will provide eventually)

Better yet, if you're willing to, you can install a virtual serial port (such as VSPE or com0com) and SerialToIP to make things easier and just install PC Prevue (using an installer I created with Inno) on your machine (I tested PC Prevue on x64 and can confirm it does work)

I'm willing to make a step-by-step tutorial for this eventually, however I'm currently busy at the moment so it will have to wait for a bit.

hi im new here but
i tried the download link and it says 404 not found, can you reupload the pc prevue/prevue jr installer, im having a hard time trying to emulate the serial port on both virtualbox and windows 10
thanks

The MC2XML app is no longer available... I can't find it anywhere... I also can't get Zap2XML to work either... I just want some data already... Isn't there any other way to construct and generate data with and without customizations!?!? I need help!!!

Are you sure?

I also can't get Zap2XML to work either...

Did you set up a Zap2it account? Did you set up the command correctly?

I do and I entered the best that I could... But to no avail... Is there a workaround!?!? Is there a Discord!?!?

By the way, are there any other commands besides just that one!?!?

I'm new here, but I set up PC Prevue on Windows 95 through DOSBox two days ago (I had to install Windows 95 on DOSBox first), and after I used PrevueCLI to feed the listings to the software (I used Zap2XML for the listings), being careful to set "omitSpecialCharacters" to true in the .prevuecommand file, it worked for me.

There's two things I discovered while using PC Prevue:
One, I assigned "sumbySrc" to a small selection of channels in the channels.csv file (apparently, there's a limit as to how many channels can use "sumbySrc") and PC Prevue displayed the grid summary with no problem.

And two, it may not be that important, but I also found out that sometimes, a movie synopsis might get cut off at the bottom if it goes too long.

(Also note that I added my own "Showing Soon" and "What's On Now" images since I was using "PIE".)

Previously, I tried using SerialtoIP and com0com to send the listings to the software, which I installed with the PCPrevueSetup file, but no matter what I tried, it didn't work. I could boot the software, but no listings would come. Thus, I decided to run it on Windows 95 through DOSBox, and it seemed to work.

How do you get this to work??? What are the step-by-step instructions???
