Hi all WebEPG users,
I would like to get everything working as good as possible for the up coming release. So I would like to call on everyone to help out a little.
What needs to be done?
1. All grabbers and channels need to be checked for errors in the grabbing of data
- See test program at bottom of this post.
- Please post all problems, I will start looking at the problems posted in the last few weeks. However, I know I'm not the only one that can write the grabber files. So I would like to call on everyone to help (even if the grabber is not one you use).
2. New channels added, old ones removed
- This requires a visit to the web site and a manual check if the channel list is up to date.
3. Add/fix channel names for configuration
- I fixed the bug stopping the names from channels.xml being displayed. So I would like some help fixing the names on channels without names. This is done with WebEPG-channels.exe.
3. Removing double channel ids
- Using WebEPG-channels.exe find the double channels in different grabber files and update the grabber files with the correct ids.
This is a big job because of all the grabbers and channels. However, if everyone can do a little bit it will be done quickly and 0.2.3.0 will be a great release
Post here which grabbers have been checked and working, so that there is no double work.
Thanks for the help,
/James
Checked grabbers
* Note: When I check a grabber it is only to see if the process works without errors. How good the data is parsed is not checked by me. This needs to be tested by users of the grabber.

Test Tool
I have got the tester program to a level where it can be used. All the features are not working yet and it may have bugs, but it can be used to test all channels for a grabber, all grabbers for a country, etc. I would suggest starting with small tests It caches the data from the web site so extra tests are a lot quicker. See attached screen shot.
How to use:
1. It will load the grabbers if they are in the same director as the tester program under \WebEPG\grabbers. Or you can put a new location (path to and including \WebEPG but not Grabbers) in the box at the box and press scan.
2. Once a full list of grabbers/channels is available select something to test (1 or more channels, 1 or more grabbers, everything).
3. It will run tests getting the number of days listed (the other option in grey don't work yet).
4. Click on the channel after the test will display the log from the test.
I will add a list of grabbers once I check them into the SVN.
V2: Fixed errors with opening log file. Window correctly resizes.
V2.1: Fixed problem starting tests when root node not at the top of window.
V3: Fixed closing xmltv file. Fixed turning cache off.
