Help needed for MP 0.2.3.0 Release

[rsbrux]

James,
Have some log results in the GUI now, if I only test one grabber at a time. However, C:\Programme\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG\log\WebEPG-Tester.log remains empty.

P.S.
It looks like you have a memory leak in WebEPG-Tester. Even if I restrict myself to one grabber, I get the attached exception message as soon as I try to retest.
What I did was to click the "Scan" button, to reset the status indicators, and then reselect (only!) one grabber and click "Run tests". The first time I did this. most of the test ran before the exception occurred. The seciônd time I tried it, the exception occurred immediately, and I had to quit and restart the program.
Also attached is a corrected grabber for www.fernsehen.ch, which now seems to work OK. The only problems are:
1. WebEPG-Tester gives a warning "Unknown Version" for every channel
2. My attempts to extract DESCRIPTION are unsuccessful, presumably because the <Z> tag regexp support doesn't include "*" (the Wiki page specifically mentions that support is limited to "?"). http://www.fernsehen.ch/ gives a variable number of icons for things like B/W, Stereo, etc. between the title and the description. What other way is there to handle this? Is support of "*" in regexp planned?
3. WebEPG-Tester chokes on parsing TVE (now at the end of the grabber's channel list for this reason.

@Mew, thanks for all the great help. I'ver added these updates to the SVN.

@rsbrux, I added a version number system for the grabber files. To track the changes. If you see the first post, I updated the fernsehen grabber include a code change to get it correctly working. Have you tried this?

@All, more help is required checking the grabbers still missing and checking the channels on the grabbers I have listed above with channel errors?

PS. New Tester program available.

Hi James,
Thanks for correcting the fernsehen.ch grabber. Unfortunately, I haven't found your updated version, either in your first post or on the Wiki. Where can i find it?

Hi James

I have tested IT grabbers ( alice_it ( already tested by you ) , wfactory_net, www_adnkronos_com) with the test program

All are ok , alice.it report sometimes a problems with the sublink where it read the description of the program ( error if the description is missing in the web page ) but I suppose it not importants

Ciao

Hi James,

Is there any way to access a copy of "4-www_abc_net_au.xml (working after template change)" that you mentioned other than via the SVN, or in the next stable release?

Thanks,

MikeL

@rsbrux, the update of fernsehen.ch required a code change so you will need to get an SVN update (at least for the webepg files).

@MikeL, You can download single files from the SVN here: http://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.n...l.Base/WebEPG/

Hi James,

I have tested the GR grabber (www.in.gr). The problem you are seeing (Parsing error #START) is because the schedule's table header has the same format as the data rows the only difference is in the attributes of the <tr> tag (specifically the class attribute). I tried to fix this but couldn't find a way to skip the head row.
Anyway, other than that it works correclty but is missing some channels (that are available at that site). I have made a new version of the grabber that includes those missing channels and also gets the details for each programme (which the original grabber didn't). I have attached the new version (new_www_in_gr.xml) if you want to use it instead.

Because www.in.gr sometimes has no data and when it does usually it only has 3 days ahead, I am in the process of building separate grabbers that get the schedules directly from the broadcasters' sites which have at least 7 days.
Right now I have finished only one: www_ert_gr which includes 6 channels. I have attached that one too.
I'm having problems with the rest. I'll post again when I have something working.

Cheers,
arion_p

Recently found out that the link for Astro had change so I edited the XML files for Astro and it work. Didn't include all the channel (so is the old version), only TV1, TV2, TV3, NTV7 and 8TV. TV9 is working fine on the separate XML.

Tested and work fine.
