UPC tv guide in WebEPG? (1 Viewer)

[kkendall]

The current websites in WebEPG that you can choose from to grab the Dutch tvguide miss quite some channels that the UPC web tv guide (for example:RTL Lounge - TV-gids UPC) does have included.
Unfortunately I did not succeed in getting this great tv guide into a good WebEPG xml file
Is anyone able to help me out here?

...nobody still got no clue on how to integrate this site in webepg?

Maybe try your luck in the Dutch subforums, you might attract more attention from people that could help: Programmagids (EPG) - MediaPortal Forum

I'm working on a grabber at the moment.
Making progress, but need to add more channels and sometimes missing data because WebEPG is not respecting delay option for sublinks (UPC website refuses data when requesting pages to quickly).

Can't wait to use it

let me know if there's anything i can do.

Hi kkendall,

Here is allready a still unfinished version of the grabber.
It needs more channels and some finetuning with delays (I hope it can be fixed in WebEPG).

When you use it make sure to take notice of the grabbing time.
On tvgids.upc.nl Today seems to equal Yesterday during nighttime (I'm not sure when they switch, but seems likely at 6:00).
The grabber is currently setup to overcome this by starting with Tomorrow.
If you want to grab during daytime then you have to uncomment the Today codeline.

gr,
Gijs

Here a new version with all channels included. Took quite some time to do.

Great!
I'll test it out as soon as I have the chance!

Of course this is only a test version.
Some channel id's will be changed to intergrate it more with existing ones.
Also, gratefully arion_p is fixing the delay options. I'm going to test for the optimal settings.

Btw, I've also made an updated grabber for tvgids.nl, but this needs also more adjustments until it's ready.

Great job mate! Works like a charm!
It would be great if it could be added to the Webepg plugin before the 1.1 final release so all dutch people can enjoy your work!
I think it's best to post it in an other section of this forum, since there are two separate sections to discuss tv guide related stuff:
Submit: EPG-Grabbers and tuningdetails - MediaPortal Forum

One more thing, I'dd call the file 3-tvgids_upc_nl.xml
