Is #DURATION supported for WebEPG? (1 Viewer)

[vuego]

MediaPortal Version: 1.1.0 RC 1

I'm trying to create a new grabber and the site doesn't specify an ending time for the programs. But it does specify the length of each program. Lets say the program starts 12:00 and the duration is "60 min", how could I get WebEPG to set #END = "13:00"?

I tried #DURATION but it didn't work
(Also tried #DESCRIPTION to see that the value is correctly parsed by WebEPG, "60" in this case)

Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, it is not supported.

Hello Arion

It's been almost a year

I created a grabber for yourdiscovery.com. It should be really easy to add support for other countries and languages, just add the channel id:s and put the grabber file in the correct folder of WebEPG.

Now this web page also lacks end times but displays duration.


Would it be possible to add support for <#DURATION>?

vuego,

Do you really need a duration?
WebEPG should workout the end time from the start time of the next program, is this not the case?

If you really need duration then WebGrab+Plus can do it, to get you going I have attached a site.ini (grabbing) file for this site.
I have disabled the time duration by * out the last line, to enable it just remove the *.

I have disabled the duration because there is a problem with the TUUK-ENG site having everything listed twice witch is causing WebGrab to not list the programes, with it disabled everything is listed correctly.

You may need to change the time zone for your time zone.

I've only done limited testing, so it may need tweaking.

Information can be found here: -

Jan is very helpful and he is the programmer for WebGrab+Plus, he responds to posts in the link above.

If you try WebGrab+Plus, tell me how you get on.

Regards,

Hey Quake

Of course end time is needed on channels that isn't broadcasting 24/7 and even if they are you'll always lose the last program. I know duration is supported by other grabbers but I wanted to have built-in support in MP.

Thanks for the tip on Webgrab++, I'll have a look at it. Especially the modifier commands looks useful

Hi,

Also in webgrab you can set the time period per channel in the config file, as discribed below: -

<!-- period (optional)
It is possible to limit the daily period for which the epg of a channel is grabbed. It must be specified like :
<channel update="i" site="tvgids.nl" site_id="1" xmltv_id="NED1-tvgids" period="14:00-24:00">NED1</channel>
-->

This may force a stop for the last show, never tried it.
