New WebEPG grabber - tvguide.boxer.se (1 Viewer)

[SweMart]

Hi,

I've created a WebEPG grabber for tvguide.boxer.se, the grabbers has all of the channels on the Boxer DVB-T network. The grabber provides 10 days of program data.

I've tested it with 0.2.0.4 and 0.2.1.0 and it seem to work ok.

Just copy the attached .XML to C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG\Grabbers\SE

It has the same problem as www_dagenstv_com.xml, i.e. end times doesn't work.

Could this please be added to SVN? I'll try to get the latest SVN release installed so that I can convert it into the new format.

Enjoy,
Martin

This is great! I've been trying to get swedish channels to work for hours. How do I merge Barnkanalen with kunskapskanalen. I've read this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=7472

Maybe I'm stupid but I can't just get it working. Too bad it doesn't support the ending times. I guess WebEPG itself doesn't support it.

Thanks in advance

1. Do your config with WebEPG-conf.exe and just choose "barnkanalen@svt.se" as the grabber för "Barn/Kunskapsk."

2. Edit your <mediaportal dir>\webepg\webepg.xml using notepad and insert the following code at the bottom(before the last tag)

<section name="MergeChannels">
    <entry name="Count">1</entry>
  </section>
  <section name="Merge1">
    <entry name="Channels">2</entry>
    <entry name="DisplayName">Barn/Kunskapsk.</entry>
    <entry name="Channel1">barnkanalen@svt.se</entry>
    <entry name="Start1">06:00</entry>
    <entry name="End1">18:00</entry>
    <entry name="Channel2">kunskapskanalen@svt.se</entry>  
    <entry name="Start2">18:00</entry>
    <entry name="End2">06:00</entry>
  </section>

I think that starting webepg-conf.exe again will remove this entry so make a backup of your webepg.xml if you need to reconfigure anything later.

Cheers,
Martin

WebEPG support END times but:
- tvguide.boxer.se doesn't provide end times, I've e-mailed them and asked if they could include this.
- www.dagenstv.com provide end times but the WebEPG version included in 0.2.X.X doesn't support end times if they don't occur in every entry. According to James this should be fixed in the latest version that's in SVN.

Thank's for the help, it merge now, I think. For today it didn't find any programs for kunskapskanalen and for tomorrow only two shows. If I check tvguide.boxer.se it's shows from 18:00-23:00. Is it just a temporary bug or permanent failure?

Thanks for the info about end times support. Boxer.se do have a ending time function but you have to click the program title. When I read your xml-file it seemed like it only was possible to fetch from a single page? Because of the predefined pattern. Am I right?

Great job anyway

Hi,

Ive just abot to test your grabber- But after i copy the xml file to the epg location and run epg config it will not finde boxer file, and nither dagens tv.com....but if i remove the boxer file,, then dagenstv comes back as a choice----

Eaven if i rename the boxer file to the same name as dagenstv it vill not show up in webepg configen---

Im on latest svn (21:17 20/11)

Same problem here. If I add the boxer xml-file in SE grabber directory the SE grabbers don't show at all in webepg configure. Running the latest SVN.

This is great!
But, I have the same problem when trying. Can´t see dagenstv_com.xml either.

Thanks SweMart.

I've converted this in to the new format and added it to the SVN.

Lack of ending times shouldn't be a problem. These get added by MP using the start time of the next program.

The only problem maybe the very last program in the guide, but one program 7 odd days in the future shouldn't be a big deal.
