why does the webgrab config.xml file throws errors if you name a channel with the symbol & in it ? for example in the picture the & symbol will create 2 errors one because its in the id tag and the other in the display name, the only way to get it working again is to remove the symbol
Attachments:
hi for the & you need to change to & so it would be ie home & health would be home & health
thankyou
thanks for that
Why webgrab throws errors when i use ' or ' or ' in config.xml file

this is becuase whatever your viewing your channels.xml with is converting the encoded character like (& ' ect) to a actual & ' ect signs.
then you copying and pasting it to your webgrab++config.xml
use a editor that does not convert it like notepad,notepad++,ect
dont use web browser,ect that does.
I use Notepad++ to editing my conf.xml file. If i use & , then no errors, but if i use ' or ' or ' then i get errors.
<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="537" xmltv_id="AIT Int'l UK">AIT Int'l UK</channel> - i get errors
<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="537" xmltv_id="AIT Int l UK">AIT Int l UK</channel> - no errors
<channel update="i" site="tv.sky.com" site_id="2408" xmltv_id="Discovery Home&Health UK">Discovery Home&Health UK</channel> - no errors
ok,that means xml doesnt like the &#xx; format but ' shopuld be acceptable.

i think this is a webgrab error that should not happen.
just out of curiosity try this..
<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="537" xmltv_id="AIT Int\'l UK">AIT Int\'l UK</channel>
the \ might escape the '(') character if webgrab is using regex to read these valuse internally.the ' has special meaning to regex.adding the \ tells it to use it as a actual ' and not its special meaning.
Now webgrab grabbs the guide, but display-name is wrong and still errors...
guide.xml:
<channel id="AIT Int\'l UK">
<display-name lang="en">AIT Int\'l UK</display-name>
<url>http://www.tvguide.co.uk</url>
</channel>

hmm notice the ']
'/tv/channel[@id = 'AIT Int\'l UK']' has an invalid token.
this is definitely a webgrab error.
Ok, can you inform authors about this?
I found temporary resolution:
<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="537" xmltv_id="AIT Int l UK">AIT Int l UK</channel>
<channel offset="0" same_as="AIT Int l UK" xmltv_id="AIT Int'l UK">AIT Int'l UK</channel>
Works.
