Hello James,

I have a problem with WebEPG. I have one of the last SVN : 9/06/2007. And I have somme problem.

In the grabber I have :

<Site url="http://www.canalsat.fr/index.php?tpl=217&amp;DAY=[DD]-[MM]-[YYYY]&amp;cha=[ID]&amp;tra=[PAGE_OFFSET]&amp;multi=2#jo" post="" external="false" encoding="" />
<Search startPage="1" endPage="5" />

When I launch WebEPG I retrieve only one part of the day program. So I watch log file and i can see this (I removed the useless lines) :

Hi James,

I would like to try to develop my own grabber too. But the wiki is not clear for me. Maybe a example with a html page and the xml grabber file in relation with it should help me (and a lot of people who want to try to developp a grabber).

Thanks

Cedric

Just to UP this threat ... It's about the probleme with canalsat.fr

[spaceyoyo]

Is the PAGE_OFFSET problem still here !?

[Scubefr]

any news ?
Wee realy need this grabber but stil not working until this webEPG bug is not fix ..
Thanks

[James]

This problem should be fixed now

Is the Page_Offset done? I'm using 0.2.3RC1 but still having the problem where it wouldn't grab the second page. Below is the modification I done to get more program from Malaysia Astro. As you can see, the "batch1" keyword is use to page no string into the URL. When I do a search on the log file for "batch1=2", it didn't return anything means that the program didn't try to download second page.

If anyone can point me where to download the latest WebEPG.dll to replace to fix this problem?
