    Sorry there is currently no documents for this feature. A few grabbers exist. One is for GB and others I cannot remember (AU?). There is also about one where some one made some changes.

    I'm very rushed for time, but here is some info:

    From GB grabber:
    <Xml xpath="//programme" channel="">
    <Fields>
    <Field name="#START" xmlname="start" />
    <Field name="#END" xmlname="end" />
    <Field name="#TITLE" xmlname="title" />
    <Field name="#SUBTITLE" xmlname="subtitle" />
    <Field name="#DESCRIPTION" xmlname="desc" />
    <Field name="#GENRE" xmlname="type" />
    </Fields>
    </Xml>


    If channel="<channel>" is given then:

    <xpath> + [@<channel>=<channel id>]

    if channel ="" like here then only <xpath> is used. You can find info about Xpaths with google.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    I agree about the dash instead of colon on the LIVE thing. I did a little change to get the current program, just removed the D from the tags. Not that important, so I dont upload any new file. A little sad about the end time, but nothing to do about it.
