Hi,
I've kinda followed webgrabplus quickview and installation guide etc. Downloaded tv.sky.com.channels.xml and the ini file. Edited the WebGrab++.config.xml file and added the channels I required from tv.sky.channel.xml under the <channels> section for example -
<!-- The channel-list :
Each channel to be grabbed has a separate entry in the list, the most common form is:
<channel update=.. site=.. site_id=.. xmltv_id=.. >display-name</channel>
Besides this form, there is a possibility to specify special channels like 'combi-channels' and 'timeoffset-channels', see further down for more information--><channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="2102" xmltv_id="BBC One N West">BBC One N West</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="2075" xmltv_id="BBC Two HD">BBC Two HD</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="6504" xmltv_id="ITV HD">ITV HD</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="4075" xmltv_id="Channel 4 HD">Channel 4 HD</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="1800" xmltv_id="Channel 5">Channel 5</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="6532" xmltv_id="ITV2 HD">ITV2 HD</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="4023" xmltv_id="FOX HD">FOX HD</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="2510" xmltv_id="ComedyCentral">ComedyCentral</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="1813" xmltv_id="ComedyXtra">ComedyXtra</channel>
<!-- LINE BREAK -->
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="4062" xmltv_id="Sky Thriller HD">Sky Thriller HD</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="0000" xmltv_id="Sky Hits HD">Sky Hits HD</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="4020" xmltv_id="Sky Select HD">Sky Select HD</channel>
after starting the exe file, it gets an error - mainly around Sky Thriller
error downloading page: The request was aborted: The connection was closed unexpectedly.

Due to this, it stops the process but generates the "guide.xml". So I've uploaded the contents to Pastebin and added the link to Perfect Player. When I click on Refresh It says EPG Downloaded however I can't see the EPG...
so the question is --
1. Why it keeps erroring at the same location
2. How do I get it to match it up to my Channels? If for example I used the Sky UK config file so it has over 800 channels, I only have 30 channels. So how does the tv guide know what to match it too? I have a M3U file which is actually just a HTTP link.
Please can anyone help
hi the channel <channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="0000" xmltv_id="Sky Hits HD">Sky Hits HD</channel> doesnt exist no site id number
on the m3u file you will see the names of the channels listed like #EXTINF:-1 tvg-ID="" tvg-name="NICKELODEON UK" tvg-logo="" group-title="KIDS",NICKELODEON UK to match it with perfect player on the pc verison you would need to have the same name as its in the listing NICKELODEON UK if you use Nickelodeon UK that wont work you would need to link the channels manually.
Hi Suzi,
Oh right, yeah I changed it for some reason WebGrab doesn't have this channel listed under their tv.sky.channel.xml file.
With regards to the other bit which bit needs to match it?
I have for example -
but on tv.sky.channel.xml it has
but I've changed it on my config file to read -
Do I need to match the ID? "Sky ScFi/HorHD" or what the name is? Because most of the names actually match up but don't work.
hi again you need to have
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="4017" xmltv_id="Sci-Fi and Horror">Sci-Fi and Horror</channel>
this would match your m3u and it would match when loaded into perfect player
Hi Suzi,
ok makes sense. So basically I'm not restricted to whatever is in the uk.sky.channels.xml. I can rename it anything and then just match it to my config file.
I'll give it a go and let you know.
Also the ones that do not exist like the "0000" IF I remove it, will it still work - I thought I needed to fill the blanks because of the channels so it's the same number of channels and the names match.
Thanks again.
hi if you dont want the channel showing blank i use
<channel update="f" site="fixed" site_id="00:00-23:59##title:VEVO 2 Live Music##description:##category:MUSIC##actor:Live" xmltv_id="VEVO 2">VEVO 2</channel>
and this shows in the guide so no blank lines.
For some reason now I'm getting a fixed.ini error.
Unable to find the siteini: fixed.ini.
Looked in:
C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab
C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\siteini.user (+ subfolders max.depth = 6)
C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\siteini.pack (+ subfolders max.depth = 6)
at WGconsole.Program.ConsoleApplication(String[] args)
at WGconsole.Program.Main(String[] args)
For detailed info, see log file C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\WebGrab++.log.txt
Execution stopped
Any help on this, please
hi put the fixed.ini the folder with other ini files
Thank you Suzi,
It's worked! I followed exactly however at first it didn't work but then I copied the file to my Shield and changed it to read the guide.xml and works fine :)
Ok so if im grabbing some xml for perfectl player do i have to grab each channel in the same order on my m3u list and rename them exactly to my list? Then theyll all just tally up?
