This postprocess option introduced in V3.1.4 beta, allows to run an external executable after the frontend grabbing.
In theorie such an executable will simply do what it is designed for , even if it is not related to webgrabplus or xmltv files. But it makes sense to use this to modify or correct the xmltv file created by the frontend grabbing.

It is easy to configure, in the webgrab++.config :
<postprocess run="y" grab="y or no">name_of_plugin_executable any_number_of_commandline_arguments</postprocess>

It is allowed to add more than one postprocess plugin or in combination with the standard MDB or REX
Like :
<postprocess run="y" grab="y">MDB</postprocess>
<postprocess run="y" grab="n">add_logo.exe in:mdb_guide.xml out:mdb_guide_logos.xml logos:my_logos.txt</postprocess>
<postprocess ... />
It will run all of them , one after the other. (But .. It will always run MDB or REX first!)

This beta introduce a new postprocess feature ... plugin

It allows to run an external executable after the frontend grabbing
This can be used to change or add certain parts of the xmltv file depending on the nature of the external executable.

At the moment of this 'plugin' introduction, there are two plugin executables available :
- add_logo .. which can change or add channel logo's to the xmltv file
- xmltv_time_modify .. which can change /correct the start and stop time if the shows in the xmltv file
