directv.com Stopping Webgrab Completely

I have the same problem.

Can't grab from DirectTV at all.

Linux.

Just changed all my channel links from tvguide to directv last week.  Grabs have been fine until today.  Now the directv channel links are failing for me too with these errors:

• [Critical] Unhandled Exception
• [Critical]
• Index was outside the bounds of the array.
• [Critical]
•    at WGconsole.Program.ConsoleApplication(String[] args)
•    at WGconsole.Program.Main(String[] args)
• [Critical] For detailed info, see log file C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\WebGrab++.log.txt
• [Critical] Execution stopped

The directv.ini in the latest siteini.pack is identical from the one I'm using.  A new cookie don't help. I'm still running v1.1.1 with the Beta 56.27 patch.  Will be watching this thread.

I have same issue from yesterday. :) Is htere any solution for this? Also I am unable to grab form tv.com. for tv.com there is no error just nothing updateed. Please help me to fix this issue. Error details in the attached images

Hi

I have got it working thanks so much for all your help.

Jamie

So when you say there are lots about getting the php working, what do i search for? I have downloaded your files, but don't understand what the php file is looking for. what do I put in for channel, date(guessing today), subpage. does this only work via a web page request or can it be run via cli?

Thanks,

What in my ini do i edit? and where do I download this version 13 of directv.com.ini ?

Sorry to be a pain, the only files in the zip are the xml and php. I have the php working, i tried to edit my own version 12 ini file. but on each channel i get, [Error   ] no shows in indexpage!

I tired this: url_index {url|http://127.0.0.1/directv_com.php?reqtype=1&channels=|channel|,&startTime=|urldate|%20|subpage|:00:00%20GMT&hours=12}

Total guessing at the reqtype.

Thanks

That worked, Thank you!!!

Sorry for new NOOB question....

I did follow all the reply here and install php, enable curl correctly in same server. Now I am confused about where to upload .php and new .ini file? I guess .php file have to update in /var/www/html    and .ini file have to update in wg++ folder. I am not sure so please help me to figure this out.

Many thanks for your instruction to resolve directv.com issue. I did fix it by following your instruction. Your are too ccol !!!

Hi,

New ini file in wg config folder and php file in var/www/html folder.

WG is running without errors but saying "no shows in indexpage!"

URL in PHP fil seems valid. Any ideas??

Hi, From Access.log (var/log/apache2):

127.0.0.1 - - [07/Jun/2017:22:41:19 +0200] "GET /directv_com.php?channel=556&date=Tue%20Jun%2013%202017&subpage=18&reqtype=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 1736 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0; yie9)"

Error log dont show any statement related to this run...

/Strilen

Hi,

Yes, got it all installed. Do I need to edit any php or curl files to make it work??

One notice, I need to add an "s" in ?channel= ...til ?channels= to make the URL work in a browser for manual verification

https://www.directv.com/json/channelschedule?channels=556&date=Tue%20Jun...

## EDIT ##

Got your angle, pasted your URL into the browser pointing to the Apache web server and got a blank page.

Server_IP/directv_com.php?channel=556&date=Tue%20Jun%2013%202017&subpage=18&reqtype=1

/Strilen

Ahh... may it be that I need to activate https on the Apache2 ?? Just noticed that the PHP path is a HTTPS...

If I edit the URL to https://Server_IP/directv_com.php?channel=556&date=Tue Jun 13 2017&subpage=18&reqtype=1

I get a "unable to connect" and not the blank page...

Hi,

Found the sucker... I had installed PHP5-cli not the full package of PHP5 only...

Once I added PHP5 it works :) Thanks for your inputs!

Hi Blackbear199,

Had this working fine for the past couple of weeks on linux with PHP however it seems to have stopped again. I have made no changed on my end.

[Critical] Unhandled Exception

Any idea what may be causing this now as it is stopping the entire grab?

Cheers 

Mine still runs fine using the PHP (@Revision 13) as the file from this night was just reviewed.

/Strilen

Thanks Blackbear199

I'm still using Rev 13.

Problem appears to have corrected itself somehow and is working fine.

I'm dubious about updating the ini now incase it breaks again.

Cheers

Hi.

I have downloded your ini file and php file but Im having trouble getting it to work.

I have webgrab+ on the same pc as my IIS server. The php file is in my htdocs and I replaced the directv.ini file in the webgrab folder. I have copied the cookie information and saved it to directv.com.cookies.txt. I have checked and curl is active in my php.ini. I have change the url adress in the ini file also. When starting to grab I get the error message: Error downloading page and it retries 4 times each 5s longer.

If I enter this in the browser I get an output
myip/directv_com.php?channel=256&date=Tue%4Jul%2017%202017&subpage=18&reqtype=1

Im using php7 could that be messing with Webgrab+?

This is from the logfile:
[  Info  ] (   1/40  ) DIRECTV.COM -- chan. (xmltv_id=AETV.us) -- mode Incremental

So it took me a lot longer than I'd admit, but I fixed the DirecTV ini to pull director, producer and actors to assist in MDB postprocess.

Update: edited php file to fix channel creation under windows with cookies.
