EPG guide

Hi
Can you please help me
I want to add DSTV to my Kodi EPG guide. I have a lot of info but I do not know what is relevant anymore since most of the posts on the forum is old and I do not know if the posts is guiding me in the right direction or not, I am using Kodi 18 on windows 10
I have attached a ZIP file with all I have done so far.

Thank you in advance

Henry

Thank you, but i am not up to date with all that is explained in the above mentioned documentation (this is my first time ever trying to do something lick this, and i did not expect it to be so involved)
In the webgrabber down lode we are supplied with a working example of all the files.
Point being
I do not know how to use the developer tools on a web browser and i do not know how to see the relevant information in the developers tool for the web browser to be able to do the above mentioned.
Perhaps if i can be guided so that i can get the epg data from the developer tools and just copy and past it in too the ini file that i have?

ur idea wont work for too many reasons to even try to explain.
i'll give u one..
so ur gonna devote time every day to copy the data from the site to a file and make sure you do it correctly everytime without making a mistake.

just in that statement there are many place where something can go wrong...

ur doing the same thing u wud do on the site..

1.select country
2. select package
3.view channels

u have todo each manually in webgrab,so if u mess up step 1 then step 2 and 3 will surely not work...

oky, i have deleted every ting and rerun the setup after a fresh install of wg V2.1.5.
i think that i got all the steps correctly.
the log file looks different than before, so something did change but the error still states no shows in indexpage
i will attache the zip of my current setup

i must say this program is not very user friendly for dummies lick me.

your ur own worste enemy.
u dont need any help to get messed up.

your using a channel list that was created with the revison 5 ini.
redo it again with revision 8 ini as the site_id="xxx" info is different.

dont ever assume that the channels.xml never changes,it does....all the time.
your cookie file is fine(it works for me).
