[QUOTE="arion_p, post: 394008, member: 45945"] Hi, I've been working on some minor bug fixes for WebEPG. While trying to build a new grabber for [url=http://www.star.gr]Star Channel[/url] (a Greek channel), I came across the following problems: 1. Epoch time is not handled correctly: If the site timezone is UTC-8 everything works fine, but for any other time zone, programs may be added to the wrong date. I have changed the conversion to epoch date/time to take into account the site timezone. WebEPG_EpochTime_Patch fixes this. 2. EpisodeNum / SeriesNum exporting to xmltv format: According to xmltv DTD the series/episode/part number can be in one of two formats xmltv_ns and onscreen (other format may be used but are not defined in xmltv DTD and TVServer does not support them). If no format is specified in the "system" attribute (which is the case with WebEPG), xmltv_ns is assumed. Now according to the xmltv_ns system the value should be of the form [series].[episode].[parth], where [] denote an optional field. Note that the dots are NOT optional. WebEPG on the other hand exported episode numbers in the format [[part.]episode[.series]] WebEPG_Episodes_Patch changes WebEPG fixthis Also in xmltv_ns all numbering is zero-based whereas WebEPG uses whatever numbering is used in the site being grabbed. I have not yet fixed this because I am puzzled as to where it would be more appropriate to apply the offset: in ProgramData.ToTvProgram() where the numbers are already integers or in XMLTVExport.WriteProgram(...) where they have to be converted from strings to integer, offset and then back to strings.
