I purchased the donator version and am trying to get this to work, but am having one snag. Everything seems to go OK per the instructions in this post and the LM Gestion Installation and Configuration page except for the scheduled update section of the guide.

It has a link to download a file, I don't think the file is the right one. It is listed as "SageTV Web Server plug-In". But if you click on it it takes you to an ati plugin. I do have the jetty webserver installed and it works with BMT. The XMLTV Importer for SageTV Scheduled Update section asks for the SageTV Web Server url and defaults to:

http://localhost:8080/sage

If I go to that address in my browser I get nothing, so I'm sure there is nothing there. The only valid location I have for the jetty webserver that I know of is:

http://localhost:8080/apps
&
http://localhost:8080/bmt

With those I can login with username sage and password frey. I'm assuming I need to download a plugin and install it for the scheduled updater to work, but cannot seem to find it anywhere.

OK, I fixed it. I had enough of jetty installed for core operations and bmt. I needed to install the SageTV Web Interface plugin. Might seem like a no-brainer, but from my point of view, I did have a "web interface" as it loaded in my browser and ran bmt. I just didn't have what the XMLTV Importer needed, and their guide is somewhat out of date.
