Morning all ,
Been trying this for months now and it seems to work well , but for some reason my timings for timezones keep going off, have uploaded the my grab stats can anyone please point out where i am going wrong.
The time for this grab is off by an hour and a half.
I feel i have missed out something but cant figure out what.
I am grabing from the UK
Thanks for all the help

Hi,
the en.beinsport.net.ini rev 5 uses timezone=UTC ! This is correct, you have changed it into Asia/Dubai and that is not correct because all the times given in the epg API of the beinsport site (which WG++ is using) are in UTC. But changing back that doesn't make the time correct! It appears that the times in the API depend on a tzo setting in the URL. The rev5 ini uses tzo=0, which gives a -3 hour diffence between the local Dubai time and the WG++ xmltv time. That should be -4 (= difference between UTC and Asia/Dubai timezone). To get that the tzo value must be 1.
But then there is also another error in the ini :
urldate.format {datenumber|yyyyMMdd}
that should be
urldate.format {datestring|yyyyMMdd}
However , that error doesn't affect the times, only the grabbing of subsequent days.
The corrected version of the ini is rev 6 http://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/download/ini/info/SiteIni...
It is not completely clear how daylight-saving-time change on 25 October will work out with these settings. Please report back if a problem arise after that.

Thank you Jan for Such a quick reply, i re tried it and got the times right but with some very wierd xml outcome.
Hope this explatation comes across right.
I have grabed the same channels for a day and the channels 1-8 came out with no programmes untill around midnight then it was avalable for the duration of the programme but 9-12 came out correct with the right time(UTC-01:00).
So I did a grab for 4 days and the resulds were not what i expected.
1-8 no programmes till midnight on the first day
9-12 full grab till midnight on first day
1-8 full programme grab from midnight on day 1 to midnight of day 2
9-12 no programme grab from midnight of day1 to midnight of day 2
1-8 no programme grab from midnight of day 2 to midnight of day 3
and the pattern follows
I am uploading the log files as i myself cant believe it LoL.
Thanks for all the help
