Retreiving channel list from the site itself (1 Viewer)

Is there any way to make WebEPG retrieve channel list from epg site?

On site of our provider, links to channels are constantly changing and you have to check first page each time to get new link.

Matej i can feel your pain. Did you maybe try to parse Amis site?

 

[matejdro]

Nope, Siol . Anyway, after some digging I have figured that it's way more complicated than that. I will just stick to custom xmltv parser.

Can you still parse siol with custom xmltv parser?

 

[matejdro]

Working on it

New site does not need referer anymore, so I thought I could use WebEPG now. But they still have some weird stuff here.

I know, they change channel id on every page refresh

If anyone is interested in parser that parses new site of siol (after 19.9.2011) for EPG and stores it in webxml format let me know. I have written the parser for my personal use, it is in experimental state but it seems to work.

Polde, please chech this post WebEPG to TVGude.xml no #SUBTITLE tag. I already made it for WebEPG

 

[matejdro]

There are already 2 public parsers (and 1 private) and WebEPG for mediaportal. Wow, Siol have really done it with new site

Matej, i think that we have more than 1 private parser. I know for 3 private parsers from my frinends

But SiOL did some shi... change. They have gude only for 4 days
