tvguide.co.uk - Program Title Error (?)

Please could someone fix the tvguide.co.uk title and description formatting. I tried but couldn't see where the problem is.

There is an extra (?) on some channel's programs and an extra (n) at the end of the description.

A good comparison is Channel 4 and Channel 4 HD. Channel 4 HD is correct.

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="121" xmltv_id="Channel 4">Channel 4</channel>
<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="476" xmltv_id="Channel 4 HD">Channel 4 HD</channel>

are you using the latest webgrab upgrade exe(V1.57) from the downloads page.

just tried both of those channels and both are fine.

regarding the (n) at the end odf the description,this can be removed in your webgrab++.config.xml mode setting..

  <mode>n</mode>

Thanks for the help.

It's frustratingly inconsistent at the moment.

Here are my config,log and xmltv files.

The errors start at about line 481 in the kodi.tv.xml file

Another clue is that all the (?) are after the current time. The ones that are past are ok.

It works now but I think for a different reason.

I have been doing the updates into the same folder from two different computers. If the (?) means it can't find the program title, maybe that's because they are using a different cache? When I set update to force it worked.

Thanks for your help.

I can't find a solution. I've tried your files, deleting the xmltv file, force, user-agent.

The xmltv file is fine to use apart from the (?). Is there a way to just turn it off?

I've got something working by using the version that is in the current site ini pack by removing the code for the detail pages.

Your current version doesn't seem to scape the episode numbers. Maybe they have changed the web site recently.

I only need Title, Episode, Season, Icon, Start, End, which are all on the index page.

Is there a way to only grab the index pages without modifying the site.ini file?

 

I am trying to automate this as much as possible so I have made a Kodi addon called Webgrab+Plus Configurator.

It is a quick way to select channels from multiple countries and sites.

 

I need the Episode and Season to trigger program catchup searches from my Kodi epg addon called TV Guide Fullscreen.

You are right. It is my software that needs the xmltv_ns episode number.

It should be easy enough to automate the *index_urlshow.scrub {....} commenting out.

I still don't understand why you don't see the (?) though. Maybe it is Linux power. ;)

Thanks for your help.
