Channel importing in WebEPG (1 Viewer)

[arion_p]

I’m greatly sorry, but I can’t reproduce the error.

No problem, if at some time it happens agian, just post your logs and tvguide.xml

And I still need a piece of advice from you.

Here’re the grabbers I checked out:

www_vsetv_com.xml is working perfectly with Cyrillic letters used for Channel id

tv_mail_ru_SPb.xml and tv_ntv_com.xml are readable only if I use Latin letters, which makes it difficult to read when adding new channels and when mapping.

www_vsetv_com.xml specifies utf-8 as the file encoding (in the xml header) and is actually saved in utf-8 encoding. The other two however specify utf-8 encoding but are saved using ANSI (for you Windows-1251) encoding. This means that when WebEPG loads the grabber, it interprets its content as if it was saved in utf-8 which is not the case. It doesn't fail completely because all ANSI encodings and utf-8 encoding map latin characters to the same codes, cyrillic characters on the other hand are mapped differently. To solve your problem open the files in notepad and then use "Save as...", select encoding utf-8 and save.

Sure, I know the rules, but I was just busy reading WebEPG specs and testing.
Thanks

Thanks again.
I'll try to remake them, test and give back to you this evening, if I have time.
Now I'm a bit busy with MS Acess project.
I really don't like many things in non-ergonomic TVServer console and I want to make a kind of TVServer manager for myself.
For ID mapping WebEPG I found ExternalID used by XMLTV.
I'll try to make it the way I described above

Would you please point out some online docs specifying tables structure?
I have 2 or 3 tables without any data and can't figure out what they are for.

These grabbers seem to be working:

www_vsetv_com.xml - Russia, Ukraine, Belarus
tv_ntv_com.xml - NTV+ sat channels
tv_mail_ru_SPb.xml - Saint-Petersburg regional analogue channels

You may want to post those grabbers in EPG-Grabbers and tuningdetails, if they have not already been posted there, so that they may be included. In fact I remember someone was looking for grabbers for Russian channels (I don't remember who, it could be you ).

Yeah, that was me.
I just posted them here for a kind of beta-testing
