your not providing much onformation as to what you have tried,logs,files,ect so how do you expect anyone to help?

for starters tv.com requires a cookies file,have you done that?

Yeah im sorry i have downloaded and installed the google chrome cookie.txt export extension and exported the cookies i wanted from http://www.tv.com/listings/ naming the txt file tv.com.cookies.txt. & i have made the dummy channel and i just cant seem to get it to work.

after you installed webgrab with the installer,did you install the upgrade from the downloads page? the V.1.57.0 one?

if you did that upload your log file.

lof file ins in same folder as your webgrab++.config.xml

its named WebGrab++.log

that error is because it cannot find your cookie file..

it needs to be in the same folder i mentioned above.

if your not sure of the name open the tv.com.ini file and look near the top on the site {...} line..

site {loadcookie=tv.com.cookies.txt|ret...}

so the filke needs to be named tv.com.cookies.txt

It is their tho.

so your trying to create a channels.xml from looking at your config file?

regarding the tv.com.cookies.txt file,have you tried renaming it to tv.com.cookies

i think the extension .txt is hidden like the other files in the list.

you could also turn on show file extensions,google it for the windows version your using.

 

 

 

ok done that, lets start from this when i download webgrab where do i put it  the WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1 Does it matter where i put the folder and do i run anything in that folder to get it going?
