Hi there.....
I use TVxb to grab EPG from www.dr.dk, and it is working fine on most of my channels, but i´d like to find EPG info on the rest of the channels also, so i would be really happy to get some help on how to find these:

Canal+ Film 3
C More film 2
Extreme Sports
Canal Motor
Eurosport 2
Dantoto
4 Sport
BBC Food
CNBC Nordic
Sky News
Adventure
Travel Channel
City TV
Music Box
VH1 Classic
Nordic TCM
ShowTime
Toon Disney
jetix
Hlm_Jtx
Verdikanalen
tvins
Adult Channel

If you only know about a few of them, that would be great also.... :D

Are the schedules available from another country?

Is the Danish program line-up the same as in other Euro countries? If so you can copy and paste channel definitions from TVxb.ini files for other countries into your TVxb.ini. You might need to add a timezone=+0100, timezone=UTC (or whatever) item if it's a different timezone from Denmark.

For example there is an "Extreme Sports" channel on Sky in the UK. So if the Danish programs are the same as the UK programs, then you can use the UK Sky schedule.

If you can't find a definition in any other country TVxb.ini file, you would need to find the on-line schedule for that channel, then create a TVxb definition. You need to work-out the URL pattern to download and it can get quite tricky if postdata is involved, however, in most cases it's possible to download the schedule.

I don't really know how that works, but perhaps you can get some info from www.ontv.dk?

I've been using o2grabber, but I'm having much trouble with it these past weeks, so I'm going to try and use what you are using!

good luck

ontv tvxb definition

I haven't tested this, but in theory the following should work if placed in the TVxb.ini file:

DR1 - for example

[dr1.dk]
name=dr1
url=http://ontv.dk/?date=[day=yyyy-mm-dd]
htmlstart=<img src="http://ontv.dk/imgs/logoer/dr1.gif"
htmlend=<img src="http://ontv.dk/imgs/logoer/dr2.gif"
special=ignoreallformatting

The other channels will need different htmlstart and htmlend values
It should also be possible to download detailed program decritions by adding a special=fulldescriptions item.

    I have a config file for WebEPG to get data from www.dr.dk. (only one channel, but more can be quickly added). With that and the other sites already supported, it should be possible to get all that channels you want.

    I will check the dr.dk file into the CVS tonight.
