MultiSite Incremental XMLTV Epg Grabber

[Reddwarf]

Is it supposed to take 24 hours to do the initial run with one site and about 60 channels?

[WG++Maker]

Sorry but there is a wrong setting in the configfile, a forgotten leftover from an experiment !
<retry show-delay=15>4</retry> should be <retry>4</retry>

(remove the show-delay, it pauses for 15 seconds between the grab of any show!!)

The error is corrected in the mean time.

again sorry wg++maker .. Jan

Now THAT made a difference

When I run WegGrab+Plus in l - light mode it complains that it cannot update serval channels. Attached logfile.

can you send me your configfile and D:\XMLTV\VGguide.xml? I need to reproduce your error.

Ok, here it is. If I use mode f forced everything works ok.

Hi,

I think I found all your problems:
1. There was a small error in vg.no.ini that caused the runtime error .
2. There were duplicate xmltv-id entries in your config file (same xmltv-id used for vg.no and for sol.no). This messes up the xmltv of that channel.
3. There was a wrong timezone value in vg.no.
4. You used the v mode (verify). This is a rather 'rusty' option which (shame) I haven't used or tested for a long time. I appears that it hasn't survived all the program updates, and will crash the program now and then. I will correct that in the new version. But, don't use it anymore.

There is a remaining issue with vg.no : The site normally lists the Norwegian title on the index page and (if any) the title in the original language on the show detail page. This causes the program to show updates if these two titles are different and , as it is arranged now, the xmltv title to be the one from the detail page. If you don't want it that way , it is easy to change ... if so .. let me know.

Attatched the corrected vg.no.ini and your config

Yes .. please send me the sites you're interested in. I like to know which of them I can grab with WG++


thanks WG++Maker ... Jan

Hi, attached the inis's I use for TVxB, which has worked well so far. The inis have the URL's plus all post process parsing etc that I do on the XML. Took a lot of work!

Your ini's seem to be sites that have good schedules, whereas mine are just local TV websites. Let me know if you need any other info.
