I originally installed WebGrab+Plus on Windows 10 to check it out. I configured it to use channels from the tvguide.co.uk sample, and it successfully populated guide data for the dozen or so channels that I selected.
I then installed WebGrab+Plus on my Ubuntu 20.04 VM, and copied across the config file from my Windows install. When I ran it on Ubuntu it failed to populate data, reporting "skipped --> encrypted SiteIni" for each channel. The log is below.
Any idea why this will work on Windows but not Ubuntu?

did u also copy your webgrab config from your windows machine?
ur license line is the problem..
showdetails limitations in effect for license 'un_registered_user' !!
see WGLicense.log.txt
it show be registered_user
Yes I copied the webgrab config from the Windows machine - there is no licence information. But on Windows the grabber works fine
???
well i dont think it shud work with any encrypted ini as a un_registered_user
in you wg++ folder there should be a WGLicense.log
upload the file(it contains no personal/sensitive info other that ur username)
i just check the siteini.pack
tvguide.co.uk is not encrypted.
when you installed it on linux did u use the linux installer?
I've uploaded both the Windows and Ubuntu WGLicence.log files
I've uploaded both the Windows and Ubuntu WGLicence.log files
what wg version did you install?
thats the old licence version log format.
upload you wg ,log file it will contain the info.
newer wg version have this licence log format..
I followed the Linux installation instructions at this link:
http://webgrabplus.com/documentation/installation/linux
Here's the wg.log file...
thats very outdated.
newest versions use dotnet instead of mono.
the latest stable versions are available here.
http://webgrabplus.com/download
for dotnet installation(you need dotnet 8) google it.
you should find the link to the microsoft site to download it.
or
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0
all you need is the .NET Runtime 8.0.11
that last one on the right side column.
wengrab is a console app so desktop,sdk,asp stuff is not needed.
yes very outdated.
follow what i said above.it will overwrite the V5.1 u downloaded
installation is the same after you download it like u did for v5.1
btw i checked the installion docs.
the windows has been updated to install V5.3 where the linux installs V5.1
See vhttp://www.webgrabplus.com/faq#faq_5419
OK I now have v5.3 installed, but I don't seem to be able to get dotnet 8 installed. I downloaded it (dotnet-runtime-8.0.11-linux-x64.tar.gz), and followed the manual install instructions from the MS site, but my current version still shows as v9.0.100 - and WG++ does not seem to be compatible with it.
I've attached the log.
Any ideas??
you need to extract the tar.gz file
you have dotnet 7 and 9 installed,hoe did you install them?
snaps maybe?
if so follow the instructions for package manager installation and add dotnet 8
u can have multiple dotnet versions installed.
or as ur log says..
To install missing framework, download:
https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.NETCore.App&fra...
Ah Ok....I think I ran the dotnet commands from the wrong directory...I switched to the ~/Downloads folder and re-ran the dotnet installation instructions. My dotnet version still shows as v9, but wg++ does seem to extract guide data now
dotnet --version will always show latest installed
if a app needs 8 it will look for it and use it or error thats its missing.
Got it - many thanks for your help with this.
glad u got it working.as a non donator your limited to what you see in epg details.
think title only.
ur licence log will tell you.
as a donator (5 euro/yr) u get unlocked(so to speak) as u get everything the data has to offer.
250 channels
15 siteini
if you decide u wish to donate use the button on top forums.
if u have a special need(like more channels or more ini) contact jan via the contact tab.
OK thanks. Do you know how far ahead UK TV guides are available?
open ini in editor and on site {xxx} line u will see maxday- setting.
its 7 days for it.
