[QUOTE="BioEgo, post: 545106, member: 74791"] Hi! I'm working on a grabber for the new Virgilio tv guide and I have a partially working solution. I'll post it hoping it can be useful to someone with better skills than me in programming grabbers! This version works quite fine but only for one day: I've got some problem in letting the grabber scrape for more days. The fact is that the site uses this form to decide what day you are looking for "[url].html?giorno=[WEEKDAY]": unfortunately on the website they use day names without proper accentuation (i.e. lunedi, martedi, etc.), while WEBEpg uses the correct syntax (i.e lunedì, martedì,etc). I can't find a way to bypass this problem other than omitting the parameter (that's why the grabber works only for the current day listings). I've tried to use the [DAY_NAME] parameter to override WEBEpg day names but to no avail (actually it gives me an error telling that the matrix boundary are too low). HTH, Bye BioEgo P.S. Is there anybody who can explain how to use sublinks to access program descrptions on virgilio? It could be nice :P EDIT: Just found this (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/webepg-136/how-use-daynames-get-correct-url-spanish-grabber-55561/) it seems that there's no solution to this problem.... :([/url] [/QUOTE]
