Hi

Unfortunately this error with DCM is due to a bug in version 1.0.6 !! I just found it, the reason is that this channel has no shows in the morning while the last show ends at 23:59. This rare combination causes to skip all shows after the last one on the first day.

I have corrected the error in the coming version 1.0.7



You can temporary fix it by lowering the hour skip value in the config below 12 (less than the time between the starttime of the last show of the day and the starttime of the first show of the next day)
like :

<skip>10, 1</skip>

A small remaining issue with this channel is that the last show of the day will get the stop time of the start of the first show the next day. (so from 23:35 - 12:00) But I noticed that even the site itself made that error now and then (like yesterday). Also this will be corrected in the new version.

I hope that that solves the problem for now

    well, I had a problem that with taskplaner the cmd window did allways apear... the small script attached did solve this: You can see the program only in the process list. This script I aded to Taskplaner instead the original *exe.

    Of course you have to change the path to WebGrab+Plus.exe and delete the txt extention of the file.

    Maybe somebody else can help it, too. ;)

    A few more tips:
    1. To find the path of the exe of WG++ use Find_WebGrab.exe.bat which you willl find in the utilities/runinbat folder of WebGrab+Plus
    (The rather unusual path of the exe of WG++ is due to the MS ClickOnce installation which is used now to install WG++)
    2. There is a trick that places a 'runable' copy of the exe in another folder:
    After you found the hidden location of the .exe and open that location you will find 7 files:
    WebGrab.ico
    WebGrab+Plus.cdf-ms
    WebGrab+Plus.exe
    WebGrab+Plus.exe.cdf-ms
    WebGrab+Plus.exe.config
    WebGrab+Plus.exe.manifest
    WebGrab+Plus.manifest
    You can copy all these files to any other new folder like C:\Program Files\WebGrab and run the exe from there!
    (Of course you have to repeat this action after any upgrade to a newer version)

    The new version 1.0.7 which is available now also contains an updated version of tvtoday.de (The site changed some link values in the rating section which resulted in messed up xmltv values) There is now also support for another German site tvtv.de and also two Swiss sites teleboy.ch and tvtv.ch.

    jimbeam128:

    in your guidelines you're talking about
    Additionally make sure that you have entered the Process "WebGrab+Plus" in the process list in the PowerScheduler under
    Powerscheduler -> Processes tab
    Am I right, that has nothing to do with how I wake up my HTPC?
    For waking up I use PVR Scheduler. So there's no conflict between PVR and Powerscheduler. It's used just for WebGrab++, right?

    **
    can somebody tell, where the correct channel data for TVTODAY's programguide is to be found?
    I maen the entries for the last section in the WebGrab++.config.xml.
    I need the entries for Phoenix, NDR, MDR.
    For example I added:
    <channel update="i" site="tvtoday.de" site_id="PHOENIX" xmltv_id="phoenix.de">PHOENIX</channel>
    but it fails (No Index Page data received from phoenix.de)
