Filmon needs updating

So looking at it, it seems that the API contains no data for all those channels

eg https://www.filmon.com/api-v2/tvguide/?startTime=1633458600&duration=864... contains BBC news and works fine

https://www.filmon.com/api-v2/tvguide/?startTime=1633458600&duration=864... should be Smarts TV but theres nothing there

But there is on the filmon website at https://www.filmon.com/tvguide/smarts-tv

So I think the siteini needs to be re-written in order to use the website instead of the api or maybe you can combine the two

Hope you can sort it @mat8861

It's pulling data for most channels now - hopefully it will all match up. I'll let you know once it's done

So it pulled the data but the data is 24 hours behind

it cannot be 24 hour behind, may be you had old guide, delete guide.xml and grab again

Tested with BBC1 (and all other uk live channels) they are all 24hours behind. This is after deleting any xml previously grabbed.

If there are shows before today they will be skipped. example as attached

I've tested itv1 BBC1 bbc2 etc - they are all 24hrs behind when I load the xml into tivimate so I don't know what's going on

I've used the Radio Times ini as an alternative for the UK channels and that works perfectly

Not sure if the rest of the filmon guide is 24 hours behind as not looked yet in detail at the non UK channels.

again...just grabbed today and yesterday are skipped. time is in UTC so cannot be wrong. are you using the siteini in git https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/site... ?eventually can you post your log ?

Oh this is where we have the confusion I think

If you use the siteini in the pack before it was updated yesterday the UK channels grab fine and the times are fine

However none of the other channels are grabbed as I mentioned at the start of this thread

You said
change
url_index{url|https://www.filmon.com/api-v2/tvguide/|channel|}
and |maxdays=7.1|

Which looks like what the siteini you posted yesterday looks like now.

After most of the channels are grabbed but the UK ones (maybe all) are 24 hours behind

So this is what I get when I run BBC One

All the shows that are grabbed are 24hrs behind - ie everything in the guide is what was on yesterday but its showing todays date

The same is true for any other channel

Ok may be is better if you re-download siteini and use the channel list on git. It cannot be we have 2 different results. Just re-uploaded the copy i use so we should match.

Yep all working now. I noticed the copy you just uploaded was different from the one you previously uploaded yesterday.

Thanks for fixing it

Update - UK live channels work - everything else is broken

Spoke too soon - The uk channels are now working but everything else is back to being broken again (will post log in a min)

It seems the UK live channels and the rest of the shows work on a different system. You fix one and you break the other.

webgrab.log.zip contains log from the current siteini in the pack grabbing court tv (uk channel) which works and loads of filmon channels that don't
Mod_webgrab.log contains log from the old siteini file that was modded as you suggested earlier in this post grabbing Smarts TV
Pack_WebGrab.log contains log from the current siteini in the pack grabbing Smarts TV

As you can see with the smarts tv channel - with the siteini in the pack it can't grab the data for the film on channels but the uk channels work fine.
With the old siteini that was modded the filmon channels grab but the uk channels are 24hrs behind.
