Hi Stanik.

I'm no a specialist for html and xml, but I have tried to play with the source of the UPC listing in Paros proxy and I think it will be hard to parse to the webepg xml because:
- They use a very log POST string to display particular program, but if they don't change it periodicaly, it will be only lot of work with copy every string for every channel, so it maid be possible to do
- You cannot set the particular date, you can only choose one of the three period. You can otherwise change theese periods in the same POST string, but we don't know, how can the string change in the future after actual period will be change to new ones. Moreover they don't use same period for various channels (for example CT1 has this last period 23.06.2008 - 25.06.2008 and EUROSPORT has 23.06.2008 - 27.06.2008) Unfortunately you cannot chnge the date in the POST string to any other than their scheduled

I wanted to post there some example of post string, but it's indeed verz strange and very very long.

Hi guys! When I was searching for some easily-parsed tv program, I found this: XMLTV, testovací provoz

The only problem I have is that the documentation on parsing XML files by webEPG is virtualy nonexistant (eg. how to get access to the attribute of some xml tag?) - the rest should be rather easy...

Does anybody have some info or more detailed examples on how to write grabber files for XML files?
