The epg that I get is insufficient. This is why I try to make the xml work in vdr. But it is very complicated.

I will have a look and ask over there too, thanks!

I think easiest would be if I could make my backend work under the IPTV Simple Client, but I don't think that will be possible.

It's a hassle ...

Have a look if it will work with tvheadend. You can definitely import an xmltv file there.

thank you, I will have a look.

Keep up your good work! It's highly appreciated!

You probably won't be able to run the Webgrab exe on Android. No-one has found a way to get it to run so far.
It will work on LibreELEC, Windows, Linux or maybe OSX.

I tried astro.com.my on Windows. I added Animal Planet and it worked fine without any extra configuration steps.
Some tv guide sources need cookie files to be set up. There will be a text file in the site.ini folder with instructions if needed.

Hey primaeval,

Just getting some errors when trying to 'Import WebGrab++.config.xml' on one of the latest nightlies - any chance you are able to test? Have tried on OS X and Windows but same errors on both.

Send me a link to the config file. It looks like the site field can't be read.

Find the file here:
https://cl.ly/3L3p2z2Y340b

If I can assist I am happy to, just not sure where to look - fairly new to WG++ and all!

Edit: Now that you mention the 'site' field being an issue - is this likely to be a problem with my SD backup channels? I guess I can remove them, import the file and add them back later if that's the case.

Cheers

It is all the ones with the same_as field.
Code:
<channel offset="0" same_as="BBC ONE HD" xmltv_id="BBC ONE SD">BBC ONE SD</channel>
The addon only parses standard channel definitions with site attributes like:
Code:
<channel update="i" site="radiotimes.com" site_id="94" xmltv_id="BBC ONE HD">BBC ONE HD</channel>

Ah, interesting. Would it be possible to get it to parse these? I know these days a lot of us have various "+1" channels in our listings so these are likely to crop up a lot.

I don't think I have the energy to do that. It is quite a big change to link channels together.
If anyone wants to add the changes in I'll add it to the repo.

I take it back. Sorry. It is a good tool. I would recommend it.

The web site is too hard to read unless you live in a cave all day. Only for vampires. Wink

The only main things missing that this addon can do is the cookie generation for tv.com and directv.com, renaming and sorting channels.

Another new tool: WGMulti from Harry G.
https://github.com/harrygg/xmltv-tools/wiki/WGMulti

Super speedy Webgrab parallel processing.

It splits up the Webgrab ini file and runs the grab with multiple instances of Webgrab in parallel.
