Changes to MyDigiguide.com mean the current (1.7) bundled Media Portal WebEPG grabber for Digiguide just doesn't work anymore, in fact for a long time.
Not only were the channels completely out of date but also the template required an update and now the user name and password must be posted with a longer (than the original 1 second) delay.
Finally, if that wasn't enough, the format of the date selection was changed to hexadecimal which has no support at all in the WebEPG URL variables. It was necessary to modify WebEPG.dll to include a new EPOCH_TIME_HEX value to get it working.
The new grabber file and WebEPG.dll are attached. I guess strictly the WebEPG.dll needs to be delivered as a patch which I will also do correctly following this quick fix. So only use this if you have a Media Portal release before 20th April 2014 (up to and including Media Portal 1.7 final).
