[QUOTE="WG++Maker, post: 675977, member: 107812"] IanJ: I did some test how to best merge your existing xmltv file with the one from WG++: The easiest way ; add for each channel you want to preserve from your xmltv file an entry in the channellist of the WG++ config file like this: <channel update="" site="tvguide.co.uk" xmltv_id="BBC1">BBC 1</channel> in which : --site refers to the siteini file "tvguide.co.uk.ini" , you can take any already existing siteini file there that refers to a site in the same country as for the channel. --xmltv_id is the id of the channel as found in the channel node in the xmltv file like <channel id="BBC1"> --BBC 1 is the display-name as in <display-name lang="en">BBC 1</display-name> in the xmltv file --there is no need for the site_id, because that is only in use while updating --it is essential to leave update="" (no value!!) otherwise WG++ will try to update which will fail because there is no site_id The disadvantage of this simple way is that the url element of the channel node in the xmltv will get the value url="http://www.tvguide.co.uk" which is probably different from the original. Slightly more complicated doesn't have this disadvantage: Suppose the channels you want to preserve originate from sitename.com, then add for each channel to preserve: <channel update="" site="sitename.com" xmltv_id="BBC1">BBC 1</channel> Now WG++ will expect a siteini file sitename.com.ini to be present and since its not there you have to make it! Open a text editor (like notepad) and add just one line: site {timezone=UTC+00:00|cultureinfo=en-GB} and save as sitename.com.ini in C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab. The timezone and cultureinfo values have to correspond with the country settings of the site , the ones I used are correct for the UK If some of the channels you want to preserve are from other sites you can add corresponding siteini files. This method will add a correct channel node to the xmltv and also correct timeoffset values and dlt changes. I still like to receive your xmltv to see why it crashed on <!D [/QUOTE]
