here it is a working grabber for italian televisions, since the ones currently shipped don't work at all (neither of the 3)

    Hi! I just made an improved version of this grabber using sublinks to fetch also the program description. Since this grabber is still subject to the day names problem (0002629: Allow weekday names to be configured in the grabber file - MediaPortal Bugtracker) I also devised a quick workaround for that: I made 7 more copies of the grabber and named them for each weekday (monday.xml,tuesday.xml,...), in each one I rotated the DAYNAME parameters in order to have the first day set as the current weekday so in monday.xml I have this:

    Code:
    <DayNames>
        <Day>lunedi</Day>
        <Day>martedi</Day>
        <Day>mercoledi</Day>
        <Day>giovedi</Day>
        <Day>venerdi</Day>
        <Day>sabato</Day>
        <Day>domenica</Day>
      </DayNames>

    in tuesday.xml I have:
    Code:
    <DayNames>
        <Day>martedi</Day>
        <Day>mercoledi</Day>
        <Day>giovedi</Day>
        <Day>venerdi</Day>
        <Day>sabato</Day>
        <Day>domenica</Day>
        <Day>lunedi</Day>
      </DayNames>

    and so on. Then I use a simple batch file (data.txt in the attachments, rename it to data.bat to use!) to retrieve the date from the BIOS (just to avoid interference due to international settings) a rotate the files accordingly in order to have the proper grabber each day! The batch file and the various xmls should be in the same folder of the original grabber and I use scheduled tasks in order to automatically perform the rotation each day. I know it is not a very elegant solution, but it works :p
    HTH,
    Bye!

    EDIT: a small update to the grabber file: the parser was missing some entries, now it should get all of them. Also changed a little bit the sublink parsing (they added a warning about using an unsupported browser that was disrupting the previous parser version). bye!

    Thanks... So annoying. I didn't notice it had stopped working and missed some recordings. The version number still seems to be 1.7.2. Hard to tell that the file has been updated. Sigh. I stream a lot of it now anyway. Good question on mc2xml.exe & schedulesdirect. I donated many, many moons ago for schedulesdirect support. I...

    Thanks guys. Ok, spent the (whole) weekend on this lol. First; TVHeadend/Kodi.... Nah. Given up on that - 'non-tech'; its horrible. 'Tech' - a few reasons but mostly that it is buggy. It is actually a real shame as it does have potential and promises a lot (was great to have Kodi on my phone and be able to watch live/recordings...

    I agree about the dash instead of colon on the LIVE thing. I did a little change to get the current program, just removed the D from the tags. Not that important, so I dont upload any new file. A little sad about the end time, but nothing to do about it.

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    Isn't there anyone who needs the series episode listings in the EPG? Perhaps someone could move this post to the English forum.
