seems to be a problem with the site.

if you go there and view the epg grid the first show of the day(06:00 hawaii five-o) and click on it to view the show details it gives a error.

it also give same error for the second show of the day(07:00 hawaii five-o) then after that then shows start showing the popup box with details.

i dont know why its making webgrab hang,i've never seen this before but if i disable the index_urlshow(this gets the show details webpage) it wont hang and gets the title of all the shows of the day from the index page only(without any details).

maybe wait until tormorrow when these shows are in the past to see if it works correctly.

 

 

Thanks for your reply, i did try it over a few days, the issue seams to move to a differant channel when the site is updated....

is there any other UK sites that provide 14 day epg, i still have an issue with http://tvguideuk.telegraph.co.uk/channel.php as well.

Great thank you, how do i go about getting a channel list for TV only, the more complete the better....

**      #####  CHANNEL FILE CREATION (only to create the xxx-channel.xml file)
**
** @auto_xml_channel_start
*subpage.format {list|platformmainchannels?specialisation=tv|nommainplatformchannels?specialisation=tv|platformmainchannels?specialisation=radio|nonmainplatformchannels?specialisation=radio}
*url_index {url|http://www.radiotimes.com/rt-service/personalisation/get|subpage|&platform=Popular channels}
*
*index_site_id.scrub {regex||"Id":(\d*?),||}
*index_site_channel.scrub {regex||"DisplayValue":"(.*?)"||}
*scope.range {(channellist)|end}
*index_site_id.modify {cleanup(removeduplicates=equal,100 link="index_site_channel")}
*end_scope
** @auto_xml_channel_end

Okay tried it a few times, i cant get anymore channels then what come with the ini file, there is several others on the website though.. 

Is there any other 14 day UK sites with TV listings...

I tried changing the line here:

url_index {url|http://www.radiotimes.com/rt-service/personalisation/get|subpage|&platform=Popular channels}

From =Popular to Freesat and other options but had no luck

Huge thank you mate, i still have a huge amount to learn....

i wish it were that simple...

it would have worked if they did'nt change the url for the channels page which required a rewrite of the channels.xml section.

here..

region is london.
