2008-09-20 16:13:06.828125 [ERROR][WebEPG-xmltv]: WebEPG: ChannelId: Central@nbc.com grabber error

What might be causing it? Any other logs I can look at to see what's going on? I mapped single channel in configuration which I imported from TVServer.

I made network capture and following URL is being called http://tv.yahoo.com/tvpdb?d=tvs&id=...neup=us_Central&.intl=us&startdate=1221900960 which does not produce any result for me.
I chose NBC central from tv.yahoo.com in configuration for testing purposes.

    The main log file is called WebEPG.log. If there's errors while grabbing those will also be written to error.log.

    I guess your error is due to an empty web page. You can see the template address used in C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG\grabbers\US\tv_yahoo_com.xml.
    But I'm not sure which URL you should use for grabbing. Where's the tv listings stored at tv.yahoo?

    When you click on the URL you provided, a blank page appears, so I daresay that is your problem. I did read somewhere in here that somebody said the US Yahoo site (or at least how WebEPG is configured to grab from it) was broken. You could probably fix it with a bit of tinkering because the data is definitely there at TV Listings, Local TV Shows and Schedules - Yahoo! TV. Check out the sticky on customising WebEPG.
