WebEPG + XMLTV? (1 Viewer)

[SweMart]

Hi,

I have two questions regarding the creation of WebEPG grabbers.

1) Is it possible to create a WebEPG grabber that handles XMLTV gzip'ed files? I'm really interested in creating a grabber for http://tv.swedb.se. They have really good instructions here:
http://tv.swedb.se/content/view/55/48/

I know that it would be easy do just to normal http queries but I'd suspect that the guys hosting the site wouldn't like that.

2) I'm trying to create a grabber with contents from the swedish DVB-T provider Boxer. The reason is that the current swedish grabber has some not so nice features such as: end time doesn't work, showview crap info being shown etc.

The grabber I've created looks like this:

  <section name="Listing">
	<entry name="BaseURL">http://tvguide.boxer.se/chart/</entry>
	<entry name="SearchURL">?key=all_channels&amp;my=&amp;cha=[ID]&amp;sta=&amp;dat=[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]</entry>
<!-- Template of the Listing information -->
    <entry name="Template"><table>
	<tr>
	<td></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td></td>
	<td>
	<table>
	<td>
	<#START>
	<br>
	</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>														
	<td>
	<#TITLE><br>
	<br>
	</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td><#DESCRIPTION>
	</td>
	</tr>
	</table>
	</td>
	<td>
	</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td></td>
	</tr>
	</table>
    </entry>

(I've HTML codes but the forum system seem to convert them info < and >)


It has all the same channels ids as www_dagenstv_com.xml since they seem to be using the same information provider. Any pointers on what I've doing wrong would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Martin

tv.swedb.se is exactly what we want to use for a grabber. It's purpose is to provide legal tv listings for media center software. The web pages used by WebEPG today changes layout often enough to be annoying.

The problem is that swedb provides the listings as gz files, ie:

http://xmltv.tvsajten.com/xmltv/action.canalplus.se_2008-03-08.xml.gz

This file works fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer but not WebEPG Designer.

Is there any way to support this kind of file?
