Sorry it is not clear to me what this means: EPisode Guide Loader? is it a skin or plug-in?
you can have with every child several disc-id's (front & back of the required dvd) in the profile.
from dvd profiler:
in the window Collection List double click on the title of the child you want to change.
on the left hand of the window Edit Profile go to Discs.
put the dvd for that child profile in the DVD-Rom drive.
if no Disc Information availabel click Add Disc, Main Feature will apear.
In the Disc Information:
now click for Side A Set (be sure you have the A side in the dvd rom)
turn the DVD to it's B side
now click for Side B Set (be sure you have the A side in the dvd rom)

repeat this procedure for each child with the correct DVD's and the appropiate DVD side.

If the profile uses the Disc ID in the UPC field (because there is no UPC on the DVD, or it's a disc-level profile), just add the letter "I" before the Disc ID in the EPG file name. For instance, if the disc ID is 2B916CCF2CD0FFA2, just rename the EPG file to I2B916CCF2CD0FFA2.htm

If it's a Locality other than US, also add the Locality code.
For instance UK=4, so it's I2B916CCF2CD0FFA2.4.htm for the UK release.

In answer to your question "Can the EPG do Disc ID's as well as EAN/UPC"
One word YES.

As Enry has stated is one way of assigning it.
Another way, and to my mind a better way (because it uses the EPG to give you the required number) is with the EPG running, go to the child profile in question (as its usually a child profile you are trying to assign an epg too), in the EPG window Right click inside the window then select "Properties" down on the bottom of the Dialogue Box that pops up. Select this Properties option up will pop another box "Properties Box" in there is a section stating

Address:  file:

along this line after where you have your EPG files stored will be the number the EPGL is trying to load, if you are careful you can place your mouse cursor at the start of this number then whislt holding down your left mouse button drag the cursor to the end of the line (after the .hmtl) right click selct copy, go the the epg file select it by right click - Rename then Paste what you have just copied from the EPGL.

I know it's a bit long winded in text description but this way you will be naming the epg file exactly with the name that the EPGL is looking for.

Nice tip!


Sometimes you might have to scroll down a bit in order to view the actual number EPGL is trying to load.

Thanks for the Green un.

I found this way best when I started using the EPGL as although I'm in the UK, thus my profiles should end with ###.4 for some reason they did not, but by using this method it is irrelevant what your location is, or if you have down loaded the child profiles oout of the online DB and you set has a different set of ID's it will still work.
