ciao koala04!
what about using skylife.it (http://www.skylife.it/html/guidatv/p...tenimento.html) as backend for epg data? it has all of the italian channels available (fta and encrypted).
if it can help, xmltv is able to retrieve slow data (release version is unable to grab channels, you should use svn version available here).

Hi, i have tested your grabber script and work perfect. I have had to replaced "<" and ">" simbols with "&#60" and "&#62" and i have had to replaced "Channel DB ID" but other is ok.

It grab description too without problem.

Thank's

[koala04]

can you post your script?

[boobee]

sorry, what script are we talking about?

I use xmltv (svn) only and its own grabber 'tv_grab_it', first time xmltv needs to be invoked with --configure (xmltv tv_grab_it --configure) to let you choose which channel it should retrieve, then i scheduled this command:

xmltv tv_grab_it --output d:\mediaportal\xmltv\tvguide.xml --days 7 --slow --verbose --backend skytv

Last, but not least, your channels need to be renamed to match xmltv's naming, otherwise your tvguide will be empty.

that's all.

[boobee]

... maybe you meant WebEPG grabber? AFAIK skytv/skylife is not supported by WebEPG, it uses some non-standard stuff in the way it renders data which can't be handled ATM.

hope i don't have misunderstood your question

[koala04]

xmltv is sooooooo slow webepg grab all channels in 30 seconds...

my question was for crazyboy

[boobee]

....

[crazyboy]

Sorry for delay.

My script in attachment.



p.s.
I see now that if i write script in this forum messagge "&#60" e "&#62" symbols come are converted.

yesterday Jams have made some code correction to webepg. tonight i will post the correct grabber with all channel (terrestral+satellite)
