I have KODI & your add-ons running on my raspberry pi and i would have WebGrab ++ running on my windows laptop, would your addon still work that way? Also does the file update its self (in terms of upcoming programmes) or would I have to keep downloading the tv guide to get next weeks programme viewing?

Hopefully that makes sense. Your help is much appreciated.

You need to schedule Webgrab++ to run every day or so depending on how many days of programs you like. I just have 2.

If you use LibreELEC on your raspberry pi it has a built-in service for Webgrab++ that runs every six hours.
It will be more configurable in a forthcoming release.

I use a Windows7 computer as my home server which runs Webgrab++ every night using the Task Scheduler.
The action I use for the task is "C:\Program Files\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\WebGrab+Plus.exe"
and the argument is the folder with the config files in. For me it is "e:\xmltv"

(2016-10-30, 14:12)ProjectUltra Wrote: I will be doing more research into this and find the best possible set up. Also can I just download files from http://webgrabplus.com/epg-channels#s12B and then put it on a USB stick, place it in the raspberry pi and then find the file and connect it to you TV Guide Fullscreen addon using the XMLTV file option in your addon settings.

Sorry for all the question. aha

Sorry, I forgot to inform you that in movies and TV shows works well, doesn't match for local programs imagens.

http://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/user/sirprancelot/yo.tv_.channels_East_Coast_NY_USA.xml

Is there a way to convert it to xmltv, so it can work as an XMLTV Source in the TV Guide Fullscreen addon?

Start on Windows so you know exactly what is happening to what files when and where.
Look inside them with a decent text editor. I use Notepad++ these days.

Then go on to LibreELEC on the raspberry pi and use these settings in
/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.webgrab/settings.xml
Make sure you have installed the LibreELEC webgrab service from their repo.

Code:

<settings>
<setting id="config_output_folder" value="/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus/" />
<setting id="exe" value="/storage/.kodi/addons/service.webgrabplus/bin/webgrabplus.start" />
<setting id="mdb" value="false" />
<setting id="mdb_grab" value="false" />
<setting id="mdb_run" value="false" />
<setting id="proxy" value="" />
<setting id="proxy_password" value="" />
<setting id="proxy_user" value="" />
<setting id="rex" value="false" />
<setting id="rex_grab" value="false" />
<setting id="rex_run" value="false" />
<setting id="timespan" value="2" />
<setting id="update" value="0" />
<setting id="user_agent" value="" />
<setting id="xmltv_name" value="guide_wgp.xml" />
<setting id="xmltv_output_folder" value="/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus/" />
</settings>

The output xmltv file should end up here
/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus/guide.xml

which you can add to TV Guide Fullscreen
if you turn on
Kodi \ System \ Appearance \ File Lists \ Show Hidden Files and Directories.
