[QUOTE="BioEgo, post: 610318, member: 74791"] 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 ([URL="http://mantis.team-mediaportal.com/view.php?id=2629"]0002629: Allow weekday names to be configured in the grabber file - MediaPortal Bugtracker[/URL]) 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> [/CODE] 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>[/CODE] 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! [/QUOTE]
