OK sorry I thought you followed his instructions how to build your own. Why not follow up his GitHub reply if you have issues there?

His only reply that I can see is " Here's a link to an updated EXE that works:" which downloads a zip file that only contains the exe. I don't see anything besides that, so I'm at a loss to do anything.

Instructions from fla in the larger thread, not sure why there are 2 all of sudden. First on windows install strawberry perl from https://strawberryperl.com/ then modify your zap2xml.py to conform with gracenote & user agent based on the instructions already floating around in both of these threads. You can do this in a standard text editor and save your perl file. Then CRUCIALLY run a command prompt with ADMINISTRATOR rights (I banged my head against this one). Then goto your directory wherever you have your moidfied perl file (I recommend you do this is C:\temp to make life easier). Then run "pp -M Sub::Util -o zap2xml.exe zap2xml.pl" without the quotes. This will compile a new zap2xml.exe for you which you can place wherever your original was and it should run normally now. Oh and I also found out, you must leave strawberry perl installed for this to continue to work correctly.
Here is the original thread you can read on the toilet if you wish. https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...253&page=2

I meant reply to him directly on GitHub if he is posting non working builds he should be able to correct it, This of course assumes you trust GitHub releases from users you may or may not no it is a vector for bad stuff. Even though that users has posted here it was quarantined as a trojan here by Windows Defender and I couldn't be bothered to run it. Apparently a known issue with the perl stuff but still why risk it.

Oh and I also found out, you must leave strawberry perl installed for this to continue to work correctly. I did that instruction before for compiling the exe, and it yields the error: [Attempt 1] <html> <head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head> <body> <center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center> </body> </html> and quits after 3 attempts. The only difference is that when I ran the pp command, it included "pp_autolink.pl" at the beginning (as instructed). I just don't get why it stopped working on my Win 11 unit 2 weeks ago (or why it still works on my Win 10 unit), except that maybe there was a change in the gracenote website. When I go to tvlistings.gracenote.com, it says "page not found," but when I add "/grid-affiliates.html" I get the listings with login, but when I log in, I get the attached screenshot error message. If I recompiled with the added "grid-affiliates" I get the idea it would still fail. I don't know what to do at this point, everything I try seems like an exercise in futility.

Then something wrong with your login/network something else, as I logged in a used your same zip code and all channels pulls up for me just fine. Try clearing cache / cookies, use a different browser? I would say you come into the https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=66253 thread as I suspect this one will be closed. That thread has all the relevant information in it anyway. P.S the site is https://tvlistings.gracenote.com/grid-af...l?aid=lat#
