Custom Data Grabber including Sky UK Channel/EPG Grabber (8 Viewers)

You can still run the installer above - in fact you'll need to - it'll do the DLL placement but also it'll patch TV server and Mediaportal, which you'll need in order to get it working. It just won't do the SQL update - for which I'll send you a script. It's only a few lines for 3 columns.

It might be in a few hours though as I'm at work and don't have it to hand.

Been running the Grabber successfully with 1.6 since it's release, For some reason today only a few channels on my EPG are populated and if I try a manual grab it sits there doing nothing....Anyone else having the same problem ????......I'm in the UK btw.

Just tried a clean install using the file form post 3024. Worked perfectly! Thanks!

Any progress on the issue where setting the EPG to grab "on these days" does nothing? It's been around for a few versions now. Using "every x hours" works but is less predictable obviously.

Hi @DragonQ

Which version are you using first, my amended version or DJBlu's original, latest release?

 

[DragonQ]

Your 1.8.0 version.

I want to have PowerScheduler wake the PC at 05:58, then WebEPG grab at 06:00, then Sky UK Grabber grab at 06:05. However, the latter never occurs even when set. The PC is not asleep at this time and nothing is written to the logs about it. If I set Sky UK Grabber to grab "every 24 hours" instead then it will wake up to do so but not at 06:05 every day.

At about 11:10 I set it to run at 11:15 every day. The PC was awake the entire time but, again, nothing happened. Nothing written to any of the logs either.

Sorry I meant which sky grabber, the one I converted or DJBlu's original version posted on the front page. The actual custom data grabber code does nothing to how plugins actually work, it simply provides the backbone for inserting in to the database directly.

 

[DragonQ]

The one I have is dated 23/08/2013 so I assume it's DJBlu's one. In which post is your new one?

 

[Benoire]

Hmmm my one IS buried! I'll have to find it. Probably going to create a new thread to keep this up to date easily, keep this one open so that when DJBlu returns if he wants, he can keep this one running.

I'll check the NZ plugin for the daily time as I wonder if it is in that... If not, then I can check my version and look at the code difference.

I found your source code (page 298 or something) and can't find anything immediately wrong with the section that deals with the scheduling. The code in general is really bad though: terrible control names, no comments, option explicit and option strict disabled, and go to statements everywhere. It'd take some time to figure how some parts work. I did fix all of the option explicit and option strict stuff, except one series of conditionals that I cannot decipher unless I actually debug the code, but I don't have Visual Studio on my machine with MediaPortal TV Server. :/
