[UPDATE] sincroguia.tv has more channels

Hi Blackbear,

Sorry for the late response.
I´ve uncommented the lines like in the procedure but it doesn´t generate a new *.channel.xml file. This is the section that I have in the file:

**      #####  CHANNEL FILE CREATION (only to create the xxx-channel.xml file)
**
** @auto_xml_channel_start
*url_index.headers {postdata=function=getChannelGroups&type=XML&platformLogin=inouttv&platformPwd=1n0ut&urlxslt=&level=3&idd=CA2936F9-755A-50A0-9B0A-87DE88B5FBE7&ver=1.2}
*index_site_channel.scrub {multi|<channels>|<name>|</name>|</channels>}
*index_site_id.scrub {multi|<channels>|<idChannel>|</idChannel>|</channels>}
** @auto_xml_channel_end
*
******************************************************

 I´ve removed the first asterisk on each line and also I leaved the WebGrab.config.xml with a dummy channel. But without success.

Could you help me please?

Regards

Hi Blackbear,
I´ve taked some time to do the handmade update by my self. I´ve found the info of the channels in this page:
view-source:http://sincroguia.tv/check-in-tv

<div class="channel-item glow">
		 		<a href="http://www.webgrabplus.com/programas/programas/1Jwk_SPA/videoclips-sol-musica?e=30096381" class="trackeable" data-track-category="Check-In TV" data-track-action="Check-In TV - ‘Sol Música’ ##171##" data-track-label="7.2.1">
		 			<img src="http://cdn.sincroguia.tv/uploads/channels/logo-transparent-sol-musica-171.jpg" alt="Sol Música" title="Sol Música" class="img-responsive"/>
		 		</a>

These are all the channels available up today. The rest have been deleted.

Could you please upload it in the EPG Channels section to share it with other users?

Thanks a lot!
Regards.

guess i should have tested the ini,i only looked at the site and then the ini and the http links were all different and assumed the site would need a rewrite.

guess it doesnt,alot of times the old links will still work such as in this case.

i fixed the channels.xml creation.i noticed some channel in your list that mine doesnt have.no idea why this happened as it look like it gets the channel groups.one would think it would contain all the channels.

Thank you Blackbear for update the site.ini of Sincroguia.es

I can´t tell you why there are another channels that I haven´t found in the web page when I was searching the channel id´s to generate the *.channels.xml file... but I can tell you that I´m 100% sure that my .channels.xml file work correctly, even with the old site.ini file.

Anyway I will use your recently site.ini generated to check it out and also I will try to get info of some channel that I don´t have in my channels list to see if it´s possible to get the info (even when in the webpage is not listed that channel) or not. But I have several doubts of that because some of the channels that you have like MTV Live HD, Kiss tv, etc... have dissapeared.

Best regards.

Hi @Blackbear199,

I´ve been using the new site.ini and it works well but, there are some programs that it doesn´t get the specific sinopsis or the episode number of that program and gets a generic sinopsis of the serie. This is an example:

As you can see there are some programs in BigBang that there has not sinopsis of the episode. Look in the first program starting at 14:00H. This is the info that appears in the website:

So the info is there but for some reason WebGrab is not getting it correctly. And is getting some generic info regarding the serie... nothing more:

If you need anything else of my config don´t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks a best regards
P.S.: Regarding your channels config file generated automatically the channels that don´t have in my channels list are not getting info of any programs.

Hi Blackbear199,

Did you have some spare time to check my last post? Do you think if it´s possible to rewrite the site.ini of sincroguia.tv?
I´m really interested to do this site.ini work as expected and get all the info that it´s showed in the webpage because currently it´s the only one that has all the channels of the DVB-T network in Spain and even lot of channels that are being broadcasted by pay tv platforms.

So could you help me? Or anyone else?

Best regards all.

i had a look at this when you first asked but got side tracked with other things and never got back to post and eventually forgot about it.

i just had another look and dont think there much that can be done.

No problem and thank you for your interest.

here's the problems as i see it..

the ini files is using some sort of api,i can view all the data no problem but the episode is incorrect most of the time and when it is right its 100% by accident.the program information is actually in xml format so its very easy to view anything.it does have the season information in <season></season> tags but for the episode number the only thing there is <chapterNumber></chapterNumber>.this is what the last person to update the ini uses for the episode number and its not right.so in short there's season only available(thats correct).

Do you think that you could fix the ini to get also the episode number?

Blackbear199 wrote:

if you look at the site it self on the epg grid page.

this is the only page that has the ability to change the date and it only lists some channels.if you click on a channel(icon) it will take you to a channel epg page for today(example neox channel).on this page it has the correct season/episode but as i said is only shows the programs for today.

In fact it´s showing the programs scheduled with 48 hours in advance

Blackbear199 wrote:

also from the epg grid page if you click on a show to get the details it has no season/episode information.the only place i see this info is on the single channel epg page which is only for today.

Well I´ve seen serveral channels and all has programs with 48 hours in advance... but I agree with you, the details of the season/episode are only in the square of the program to clink on it and view the details but not in the details section... curious. Here an example:

Here we have the info about season/episode T1/Ep.5

And these are the details section:

Blackbear199 wrote:

at the bottom of the page where all the channels are listed again this takes you to a single channel page,again for today only.

so i cannot see any way of making anything better.

I think that the best chance i´ts grab de info from this URL where it´s showing the programs with all the details (with 48 hours in advance):

http://sincroguia.tv/programacion/channel-name
http://sincroguia.tv/programacion/cuatro

Since I have a line in my crontab to run webgrab every day it could be a good workaround to make it work.

Keep waiting your comments.

P.S.: Sorry for the Spongebob face  that was the example that I´ve seen more quickly to show you.

Thank you Blackbear199!!
I´ll try it and let you know soon...

Hi,

I´ve been testing it during these days... this is what I´ve seen:

1.- In all the programs appears at the end the question mark (?). See the .xml file attached

2.- Not sure why but I can´t get info from the channel "La otra". Could you try to see if happens to you also?

3.- For some reason if the program has the information of the episode number as this "Episodio 7" this is discarded and not showed in the .xml file

That´s all. The info obtained is always the correct in all the programs.

Thank you very much!

Hi Blackbear199,
Tested with the new .ini now the info it´s showed correctly without the question mark.

By the way you were right...  I had a mistake in the channels.xml file with the xmltv-id for "la otra". Now works ok:

About the issue nr. 3 here you have an example of a program called "Gym Tony XS" that has the name as "Episodio". The channel:
http://sincroguia.tv/programacion/cuatro
And two different programs:
http://sincroguia.tv/programas/programas/8wZ9_SPA/gym-tony-xs-episodio-5...
http://sincroguia.tv/programas/programas/91qb_SPA/gym-tony-xs-episodio-7...

As you can see the episode information doesn´t appear:

If you need anything else let me know.
Keep in touch as always.

Thank you and best regards.

Thank you Blackbear!! During my adventure with the MDB postprocessing I´ve noted an issue with a serie where the description have been omitted because there was a link before with the information (general description) of the serie:

Here is the example:

This is the web page:
http://sincroguia.tv/programas/series/9Z67_SPA/velvet-y-entonces-llego-e...

If you can see where is "Ver ficha de Velvet" Is the link that I was talking about above. This is the source code of the page:

	</ul>
				</div>

				<div class="m-box-info">
					<h3 class="m-box-info__title">Sinopsis</h3>
			      			<p class="m-box-info__text"><a href="http://sincroguia.tv/programacion-series/velvet"><b>Ver ficha de Velvet</b></a></p>
					
					<p class="m-box-info__text">Ana está aturdida tras la noticia de que Alberto está vivo. Mateo lo ha encontrado en Nueva York y los dos están viajando de vuelta. Ante semejante revelación, Ana sólo puede tomar una decisión: cancelar su boda con Carlos. Le duele en el alma dar una noticia así a su prometido, pero debe ser sincera con lo que siente. Se desahoga con sus amigas y con su tío, carcomida por las dudas.<br /><br />Mientras, Alberto y Mateo viajan juntos de vuelta a España. Es el momento idóneo para que los dos amigos se pongan al día. Mateo le cuenta que se separó de Clara. Alberto, por su parte, cuenta como pasó un año recorriendo la ruta de la seda y acabó asentándose en Nueva York... pero la pregunta clave es porqué Alberto jamás contactó con ellos. Alberto asegura que les escribió siempre, tanto a Mateo como a Ana. Las cartas a Mateo iban dirigidas al antiguo piso de casado de Mateo y, por tanto, él nunca las leyó.</p>
				</div>

				<div class="m-box-info">
					<h4 class="m-box-info__title">En las redes</h4>
					<ul class="m-box-info__list">

Is there any way in the .ini to bypass that link in order to get the correct description?

Regards and thanks.

Ok, solved. Thank you very much!.

Hi!

I´m back with this site to comment some issues:

1.- It seems that people from Sincroguia is starting to add some url´s in the categories. I would like to ask you if it´s possible remove that including some kind of line to get only the category, not the link of it. This is an example:.

We have this in the .xml file:

<sub-title lang="es">&lt;a href="http://www.webgrabplus.com/%3Ca%20href%3D"https://sincroguia.tv/informativos/informativos">https://sincroguia.tv/informativos/informativos"&gt;Informativos &lt;/a&gt;</sub-title>
<category lang="es">&lt;a href="http://www.webgrabplus.com/%3Ca%20href%3D"https://sincroguia.tv/informativos/informativos">https://sincroguia.tv/informativos/informativos" title="Informativos"&gt;Informativos &lt;/a&gt;</category>

It´s possible to extract only the content between &gt; ---- &lt; Just to get the word "Informativos" but without to remove other urls like the icons?

<icon src="http://www.webgrabplus.com/%3Ca%20href%3D"https://cdn.sincroguia.tv/uploads/programs/l/a/-/la-noche-en-24h-116933_SPA-76.jpg">https://cdn.sincroguia.tv/uploads/programs/l/a/-/la-noche-en-24h-116933_..." />

2.- This site.ini was created with the intention of get the information of the channels 2 days ahead. But now I´m only able to get 1 day even when it seems that information is showed 7 days ahead. Here the link where are the info of the channels:

https://sincroguia.tv/programacion/antena-3

If you scroll down the page you will see that more programs are showed till reach to the 7th day.

You will find attached to this post the files site.ini; channels.xml; WebGrab++.config.xml and guide.xml file resultant. I´m using WebGrab++ version  V1.57.

If you need anything else just let me know.

Best regards.

they have changed the site(urls)and even though one can see  inspecting the page data(there is actually 11 days epg).when i try grabbing any page other than today i get nothing or just today.

so this will take some looking into..

Hi! Blackbear199

11 days? If I go to https://sincroguia.tv/ I can see only from today thursday 16 to next wednesday 22.

Same case if we select one channel: https://sincroguia.tv/programacion/antena-3 I can see programs from today till 23 thursday (not the complete day) so... where have you seen the 11 days?

You´re right when you say that "they have changed the site(urls)" I think now it make no sense has two versions of Sincroguia:
a) 2 day version (the most recent)
b) the original with the complete guide but without full details of programs

Maybe should be better to merge it updating it with the new urls. Is this possible?

What´s your opinion?

Thank you and best regards.

@rickar

Sincroguia is working fine for me. I´m going to share with you my files. Please update them with your paths in your synology NAS.

Take a look at WebGrab++.log.txt file I´m running WebGrabPlus V2.0

@rickar please, share with us the WebGrab++.log.txt file to see what happens.
