I'm trying to develop a new swedish grabber but have problems extracting end time from sublinks. It extract description from the sublinks but not the #END tag.

I've attached the grabber file and a screendump from WebEPG Designer where the template seems to be working.

No errors in the log.

Regards,
Johannes

Here's some more information on this issue. The main template works normally, populating tags #GENRE, #START and #TITLE without any issues. To grab #END and #DESCRIPTION we need to open a sublink and apply a second template. The sublink loads and populates #DESCRIPTION but #END remains empty.

Here's an example source HTML for sublink:

  </div>
                <p>04:45 - 05:30</p>
            </div>
            <div class="play-content-list">

                <h4>Skitiga jobb</h4>
                
                <p>I detta avsnitt: Skull Cleaner.Programledaren Mike Rowe reser runt i Amerika och provar på olika smutsiga jobb som de flesta av oss inte hade en aning om fanns.Programledare: Mike Rowe. Amerikansk dokumentärserie från 2006. Från dagen .Originaltitel: Dirty Jobs - 27 Skull Cleaner. S01E27. </p>
            </div>

And our grabber's template:

		<p><#START> - <#END></p>
		<h4><#TITLE></h4>
		<p><#DESCRIPTION></p>

Which results in the following TVGuide.xml:

  <programme start="20111006044500 +0200" channel="Kanal 9-kanal9.se">
    <title>Skitiga jobb</title>
    <desc>I detta avsnitt: Skull Cleaner.Programledaren Mike Rowe reser runt i Amerika och provar på olika smutsiga jobb som de flesta av oss inte hade en aning om fanns.Programledare: Mike Rowe. Amerikansk dokumentärserie från 2006. Från dagen .Originaltitel: Dirty Jobs - 27 Skull Cleaner. S01E27.</desc>
    <category>övrigt</category>
  </programme>

The stop time is missing however if we change #END to something else it's working:

		<p><#START> - <[COLOR="Red"]#SUBTITLE[/COLOR]></p>
		<h4><#TITLE></h4>
		<p><#DESCRIPTION></p>

  <programme start="20111006044500 +0200" channel="Kanal 9-kanal9.se">
    <title>Skitiga jobb</title>
    [COLOR="Red"]<sub-title>05:30</sub-title>[/COLOR]
    <desc>I detta avsnitt: Skull Cleaner.Programledaren Mike Rowe reser runt i Amerika och provar på olika smutsiga jobb som de flesta av oss inte hade en aning om fanns.Programledare: Mike Rowe. Amerikansk dokumentärserie från 2006. Från dagen .Originaltitel: Dirty Jobs - 27 Skull Cleaner. S01E27.</desc>
    <category>övrigt</category>
  </programme>

The second issue is that search doesn't seem to apply to sublink data. For example our grabber:

      <Searches>
        <Search match="S\d\d" field="#SEASON" remove="false" /> 
        <Search match="E\d\d" field="#EPISODE" remove="false" />  
      </Searches>

should produce a episode-num tag in TVGuide.xml but this is also missing. If I change the search to match text in the main template, such as start time, it works as intended:

      <Searches>
        <Search match="[COLOR="Red"]04[/COLOR]" field="#EPISODE" remove="false" />  
      </Searches>

  <programme start="20111006[COLOR="Red"]04[/COLOR]4500 +0200" channel="Kanal 9-kanal9.se">
    <title>Skitiga jobb</title>
    <desc>I detta avsnitt: Skull Cleaner.Programledaren Mike Rowe reser runt i Amerika och provar på olika smutsiga jobb som de flesta av oss inte hade en aning om fanns.Programledare: Mike Rowe. Amerikansk dokumentärserie från 2006. Från dagen .Originaltitel: Dirty Jobs - 27 Skull Cleaner. S01E27.</desc>
    <category>övrigt</category>
    [COLOR="Red"]<episode-num>4</episode-num>[/COLOR]
  </programme>

This could be a problem that's been in WebEPG for some time since there's another grabber which has this issue - DK\www_ahot_dk.xml. I've tried it and it doesn't set any stop time either.

Hope this helps

Hi vuego,

It is curious that the END tag does not work. I will have to investigate that.

About the sublink search issue, it has always been this way. I also had the same issue with a grabber I was building so I patched WebEPG to search sublinks as well. However I did not like the solution because there might be cases when you would not want to search sublinks (or search only sublinks or only certain templates). I never got around to do a proper implementation as at that time I could not figure out a way to pass configuration info (i.e. which templates to search) to the search handler. I have to admit that once DVB was available locally I have to admit I neglected WebEPG because it would only give me 3 days worth of EPG while DVB would give me 7.

I will see if I can dig the old code and come up with a solution.
