MultiSite Incremental XMLTV Epg Grabber

WG++Maker · 2012-12-05, 07:23 AM

That's it.

(Forgot to mention: To get it processed in an existing xmltv file you need to force an update, specify update="f" once.)

Many thanks for this grabber.

I am trying to set up such a EPG for NPVR for Germany, I have installed or try to installed your grabber now like described on your website. And what have I to do now? I , I tried to point guide.xml to NPVR, but it doesn't seem to work.

Does webgrabplus create an XML file?
Does the XML file contain TV show info that is similar to this ... http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post452807

Yes, I would say so. There are about 180 or 80 stations or so.

This is NextPVR updating its database from EPG data in the DVB-C broadcast stream.

What are the symptoms of your problem?

<<<This is NextPVR updating its database from EPG data in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\xmltv.xml
Yes, I had try to use this xmltv.exe file before needed by TV-Listings, but I didn't get it to work.

<<<This is NextPVR updating its database from EPG data in the DVB-C broadcast stream.
Yes, I assume that always worked, the data for the EPG showing the information for these channels were always available after starting NPVR the first time, I think, that it as far as I know digital broadcasting, pay tv, encrypted, so I cannot watch it, the most important channels are the analog cable ones, I cannot get an EPG working properly for.

<<<What are the symptoms of your problem?
Sorry, I am not sure, if I understand right, the EPG doesn't work, I cannot make this grabber - WebGrab+Plus - working or I cannot not show the EPG information on the EPG of NPVR or the EPG function. I do not know how to make WebGrab+Plus working for NPVR.

Does the guide.xml file contain the correct data? If so, how could I use it to get the EPG working in NPVR?

Graham · 2013-02-27, 03:03 PM

Dirki Wrote:Does the guide.xml file contain the correct data?

The XML file appears to show good data. There are about 50 shows listed in the XML file ... see the attached. If you are having problems with webgrabplus, I suggest that you find the webgrabplus forum and get help there.

Dirki · 2013-02-27, 03:14 PM

<<<I suggest that you find the webgrabplus forum and get help there.
Yes, a good Idea.

Since the developer of this grabber started this thread here, I thought, it might be a good place to ask here.

Anyway, many thanks for your help.
