Hi all. Hope to find a simple answer. Finally got webepg grabber working but the 4 channels I have set up all show the same program. The .xml shows the 4 different channels in both sections but all 4 channels return the same results? Any ideas?
Thanks

    it would help if you'd give more information about the problem you are seeing and upload your www_imdb_com grabber file and tvserver log files.

    its easy to make a simple typo in the grabber file, so as a simple sanity check use a web browser (firefox, chrome, IE) to open the file (just drag grabber to browser window) and make sure the browser can open/read the complete file. if the browser doesn't open the file then MePo will also have problems.

    as an experiment, start the tv server config program, goto the Manual Control page and do a "stop service", wait till stopped, then "start service" to restart the tv server. goto the WebEPG > Mappings page and verify you see the correct channel mappings for your 4 channels. Then in WebEPG > General, set GrabDays = 2, press "save", then "grab now" to get 2 days of EPG for your 4 channels.

    make a zip file and upload the www_imdb_com and Tv Server log files. See the following message for more info about log files

    Looked at your grabber file and the problem is caused by the changes to the "Site url" lines in your version. I modified the 4 channels to remove the channel numbers from the siteID so they just have the channel IDs from imdb and restored the "Site url" line from the original version of the grabber. With these changes the grabber finds 4 different sets of channel/EPG data. The only changes you should make to the grabber file is add "Channels" with the needed mapping pairs and add your zipcode. The other grabber lines should not need changes. See the attached file for my update.

    You can use this grabber version and add the channels you need using these 4 lines as a reference. Hopefully this gets you up and running.
