[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1059477, member: 117536"] My updated version of the imdb_com grabber does not have support for categories/genres. When I got the SubTitle working I decided I was done with WebEPG, wrote some Setup Guide instructions that are in the Wiki, and moved on in life. With work you might be able to add limited genre support if you are willing to work (do battle) with the WebEPG templates and tools. You can find more info about WebEPG looking at the following wiki sections. It also helps to use FireFox with Firebug to look at the gory details of the web page formats. Other browsers have similar web page tools.

I've never tried Schedules Direct so I don't know what it supports and can't remember if WebGrab+Plus has useful genre support. This is kind of a Goldilocks problem, imdb_com is "too cold" (no genres), mc2xml is "too hot" (3-5 or more) genres per show, so far I have not found a "just right" genre option.
