I think I used to use this addon to put a bedtime shutdown on the kids rpi kodi box.
It provides a simple interface to cron.

Yes saw that and still toying with installing it, but thought perhaps a great idea would be to add capability directly within WebGrab+Plus Configurator, to include cron job configuration line parameter(s) that could be understood, edited and adjusted by users via Configurator.

i.e. As context option of Run Webgrab option, and/or an option within WebGrab+Plus Configurator settings. Where following line would run LibreELEC WebGrab+Plus Add-on and could be adapted to suit webgrabplus.exe (For linux users of kodi)

0 3 * * * /storage/.kodi/addons/service.webgrabplus/bin/webgrabplus.start

As per my posts on topic in LibreELEC forum, I can confirm job runs perfectly

Currently chosen to temporarily disable LibreELEC WebGrab+Plus Addon, reducing calls for EPG to once a day at 03:00 (as I can still run webgrabplus.start with the Add-on Disabled) No run of wegbrabplus at boot-up of Pi and every six hours after boot

Anyway whatever may be chosen way forward, thought information very useful for inclusion in this thread for future ref etc.

OK trying out the Cron XBMC add-on got the better of me, but with Krypton and Estuary Skin just attempting to access and use addon causes a Kodi crash. (Aligned with issues other users having previously when trying add-on according to posts in the Cron XBMC - Support Thread?)

I decided that the configurator was not for me, uninstalled it now at the beginning of webgrabplus.start I get a message:
"user defined pre-processing
nothing to do"

Or is that because I put a channel into channels to correct?

Do I need to delete /script.webgrabplus

webgrabplus.start defaults a config directory, you can change it in the command line.

My program addon is script.webgrab.
LibreELECs service is service.webgrabplus.

0.0.23
- Quick Add Channels / Quick Remove Channels context menu in country providers
- Timezone Edit values are copied to output files (even after a new Download Site Pack)

This should make adding and removing lots of channels at once much less painful, especially on low end devices.

How does quick add channels work, does it copy everything provided by country provider into our pre-stored selected channels?
(Could see options but didnt want to try without knowing as dont want to commit to adding/deleting all)

It is a multiselect dialog that adds the selections to the Selected Channels list.
You can back out of it without making any changes.
Add shouldn't affect your previously added channels.

[EDIT] You can always make a backup copy of your userdata folder to try out new ideas.

Thanks for the clarification, very good improvement on one by one channel adding to the selected channels list of previous versions of beta.

Highlighting items that are already in selected channels list from specific country provider when using the quick add context feature, may be more intuitive when using quick add option?

Currently they are hidden when using quick add and the only channels visible when using quick remove which is truly great btw

Are you saying that you would like to see ALL channels in Quick Add Channels, with the ones already added Highlighted?

[MikeKL]

That was my intially thought before I fully realised that pre-selected channels would only be visibile in the quick remove..

But then I thought may also be useful when we have more than channel of similar name and typically (for most of day) EPG content

i.e. regional channels of BBC where its useful to know and be aware of what we have already selected when using quick add to add additional channels to our current selections from a specific provider.
