Help needed for MP 0.2.3.0 Release

[Mew]

Hi James

I have updated the GB Radio Times grabber (and channels.xml) as there have been changes since the last update (things don't stay still for long in the UK). They are:

Added
Dave
Dave + 1

Deleted
UKTV G2
UKTV G2 Plus 1

I think in reality the new channels have substitued the old, but the Radio Times has allocated new IDs.

If these could be incorporated in an SVN it would mean that they would not need to be re-copied each time someone updates their MediaPortal installation.

Thanks

Mew

Thanks for your hard work. I've updated the SVN files again.

Hi,I dont seem to be getting any channel listings from mydigiguide.com, GB. About a week ago it started working and my TVguide.xml was a healthy 11 meg, filling up from mydigiguide.com and radiotimes.com. Now I can't get anything from mydigiguide.com, resulting in TVguide.xml is now an unhealthy 7 meg
I have attached the WEBEPG.log so you can see lines like this, there are quite a few "No Listings Found":

New dagenstv.com grabber based on James' changes in SVN 16750.

\WebEPG\grabbers\SE\www_dagenstv_com.xml

[Furetto]

Fixed www_teveblad_be.xml after the change in SVN. Only difference being the removal of start and end tag in the Details Template.

EDIT: still does not work completely, my bad...

James,

I now have a working grabber file for St. Louis area in the US.
It should be easy to add additional channels for other regions. It is based on IMDB's TV guide.

Thanks for all you help.

[James]

Thanks Ruhar,

I have added your new grabber to the SVN.

There's an issue with the current www_dagenstv_com.xml and days when there's no programs.

I've made a minor change on the Start tag from:

<!-- Start

to:

<!-- Start 0 -->

All listings start with <!-- Start 0 --> so the first tag would work however when encountering a day with no programs there's instead another tag in the html source, <!-- Start Puffar -->, which holds some information about recommended shows and it messes up the xmltv file.

When there's no shows, <!-- Start 0 --> won't match <!-- Start Puffar --> but here's the problem. WebEPG throws an error instead of proceeding to the next date.

Could WebEPG be modified to continue and just ignore that day instead of stopping with "grabber error"?
