Please create an ini for the PolsatBox GO portal.

Registration or logging in to the portal is not required to view the schedule.
Polsat launched with 17 of its own FAST channels and similarly to vod.tvp.pl, the schedule for them is only on their own portal and will probably not be available anywhere else.
Thank you in advance.
@mat8861
Maybe you could help. If you're willing and have some free time?
polsat is already in siteini.pack and use same database. I am working on it as i see some errors
Hi Mat
Cyfrowy Polsat (cyfrowypolsat.pl.ini) was transformed some time ago into PolsatBox (polsatbox.pl.ini). In both cases, the guide is downloaded from this address https://www.polsatbox.pl/redir/program-tv/program-tv-pionowy.cp
Currently, changes are taking place again and they decided to focus on their streaming portal, where the same channels are available that are broadcast via Sat and their own FAST channels, present only in streaming.
https://polsatboxgo.pl/kanaly-tv?epg=true&date=2025-06-20&timeOfDay=afte...
www.polsatbox.pl - their old portal and still operating.
https://polsatboxgo.pl - a portal with streaming, VOD materials and the latest guide for channels from their offer, also these new, original 19 FAST channels.
And it is precisely these 19 FAST channel schedules that are the point.
A similar situation to TVP, where there are also 3 portals, but the most up-to-date schedule and for all channels, including the FAST ones, is only on vod.tvp.pl
ok so you want those 18-19 channels not in polsatboxgo tv.
We didn't understand each other Mat. It's probably because of my poor English.
The polsatbox.pl website with a guide
Another polsatboxgo.pl website with a guide
And that's the second one I'm talking about. There's a guide for 19 channels that aren't anywhere else, not even on this first page.
CZEŚĆ, ok , but i see 18 channels in kanaly-tv. Are this the one you are looking for? Which is the missing one?
Hi Mat.
It's not about these channels.
I'm interested in the ones in the picture below, there are 19 of them.
If it makes things easier, I can list them all by their names.
URL to the page with the schedule of the 3 above-mentioned channels
https://polsatboxgo.pl/kanaly-tv?epg=true&date=2025-06-24&timeOfDay=morn...
Are you suscribed? i get a blank page
I have some account and if you need it I can share the data.
But I browse the channel guide without having to log in.
Maybe there is some geoblocking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit
In the channels file you posted I noticed site_id="xxxxxx".
I wrote down all 19 that interest me.
Hi. Is it possible to create a file for all channels?
https://www.polsatbox.pl/redir/program-tv/program-tv-pionowy.cp this site stop working.
@Blackbear199, @mat8861
I agree with the above request.
The current ini https://www.polsatbox.pl/redir/program-tv/program-tv-pionowy does not work because there is no longer a guide page at this address.

At this point, the siteini pack Poland could be cleaned up.
televio.pl.ini - the service withdrew from the Polish market as of December 31, 2024, is no longer available, can be deleted.
upctv.pl.ini - it was taken over by the P4 (Play) group, the UPC portal was deleted, can be deleted.
paramountchannel.pl.ini - the website has been rebuilt, no longer contains the schedule, can be deleted.
orange.pl.ini - the portal has undergone several changes, and the schedule is probably not working. The schedule is available at https://tvgo.orange.pl/ after logging in to the service.
ncplus.pl.ini - it's now https://www.canalplus.com/pl/program-tv/, and is replaced by canalplus.com.ini, so ncplus.pl.ini should be deleted.

How do I fix this? Other providers do not have these stations in their database. V5.5.0.0 on Linux.

Witaj @zukon, wersja WG+ 5.5 jest do bani jeżeli chodzi o MDB i REX.
Jak masz możliwość odpal te configi w wersji 5.0.1.1 i w tej wersji śmiga bezbłędnie razem z MDB i REX.
Sam się zmagam z wersją 5.5 i jest nie do końca taka jak potrzeba a w szczególności kuleją postprocesy nie mówiąc o głównym wątku programu.
I właśnie dla tego mam już ze 30 skryptów w py i w WG+ korzystam tylko z merge-xml.
Ale całym sercem przyłączam się do pytania.
Nie załączyłeś plików?, to utrudnia wysoce analizę.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi @zukon, WG+ version 5.5 sucks when it comes to MDB and REX.
If you can, run these configs in version 5.0.1.1; it works flawlessly with MDB and REX in that version.
I'm struggling with version 5.5 myself, and it's not quite what I need, especially the post-processes, not to mention the main program thread.
And that's precisely why I have about 30 py scripts and only use merge-xml in WG+.
But I wholeheartedly agree with your question.
polsatbox doesnt have those channel on the site.
there is only about 10-15 channel now,none of which look special only to it.
its nothing even close to what the old site had.
check the epg for yourself.
far as mdb,rex with V5.5 look at the AP-lines.examples.txt file
the format has changed for separators.
Dzięki @azman! / thanks a lot @azman!
On the website polstboxgo.pl I can see almost all possible channels from EPG, including the 3 stations that interest me:
https://polsatboxgo.pl/kanaly-tv?epg=true&date=2025-12-02&timeOfDay=now&...
https://polsatboxgo.pl/kanaly-tv?epg=true&date=2025-12-02&timeOfDay=now&...
https://polsatboxgo.pl/kanaly-tv?epg=true&date=2025-12-02&timeOfDay=now&...
I'm having much bigger problems, not with data acquisition, but with its transfer and arrangement according to XMLTV.
@black, I'll tell you that I'm doing this for Enigma2 receivers, and you've discussed and advised me many times. I'm reporting a bug in the MDB and REX postprocesses again.
I'm testing, and it's supposed to be better, but it's the same.
My only recent production version is 5.0.1.1 – and why that particular version?
I've tested all the other higher versions, and there's always some bug.
Strangely enough, version 5.5 works great, but it's terrible at parsing data.
Want examples?
@Blackbear199 @mat8861 and @Black
Pozdrawiam AZMAN
are u using a login?
i am not seeing what your describing.
example if i use the page=10 link or any of the others i see no channel epg.
re: rex/mdb
on the downloads page get the documented configuration files.
the ap-lines.example.txt file is in there.
as i said you have to use separators everywhere.
example rex
<title>'title( - )'{'subtitle( - )'}</title>
result..
title - subtitle
Site is available without logging but I see, where is problem: with Polish IP I see guide, with VPN (SurfShark) set to other country site is empty.
What is needed to prepare fix? Site dump?
In attachment screen shot of www page in developer mode.
Best regards!
zukon
thats not what we need.
when in dev tools goto network tab.
near the top export as har file.
its in the same line as disable cache,ect
hover your cursor over it and it will say export har.
i thought it might be location related but as you said vpn made no difference.
In attachment exported har file
It contains only this:
{
"log": {
"version": "1.2",
"creator": {
"name": "WebInspector",
"version": "537.36"
},
"pages": [],
"entries": []
}
}
it wont work if you open and export afterwards.
1. open developer tools
2. goto the site and select programy tv
3. export har file
or
on the programy tv page and f5 to reload page.
then export har file.
try to create a channel list with this.
i only get about 15 channels but it may work different you you using a real poland ip.
OK, my mistake. Problem with Brave browser, with Chrome HAR is correct:
The link contains a zip file with HAR, it is about 4MB and does not allow to be attached to the forum.
Clean zip
Regards,
zukon
try with the ini above.
from what i see in your har file it should work.
All files:
clear zip
Is better:
Found existing channel (xmltv_id=Polsat X) in the config file
Found existing channel (xmltv_id=Polsat Film 2) in the config file
Found existing channel (xmltv_id=Polsat Reality) in the config file

you have to create a channel list with this new file.
the site_id="xxx" values have changed.
the channel lines your using will not work.
new channel lines are in this format
<channel update="i" site="polsatboxgo.pl" site_id="1456330##4x/4xbjq8jee2h4rjbtii49y43xg44tbh95.png" xmltv_id="Polsat News HD">Polsat News HD</channel>
old are..
<channel update="i" site="polsatbox.pl" site_id="polsat-x" xmltv_id="Polsat X">Polsat X</channel>
see the difference?
also remove the zip file,it has your license info in the config.
Thank you very much, I'll check later. The zip file has been removed from the post and server.
@Blackbear199 Thank you very much! This 3 works perfect:
<channel update="i" site="polsatboxgo.pl" site_id="1456330##4x/otmz2i9yf2p8f9sxog2r4bdfkcc4yq1q.png" xmltv_id="Polsat X">Polsat X</channel>
<channel update="i" site="polsatboxgo.pl" site_id="1456330##4x/3dyw7qxrjeejjz8cz3v42paawqx9pwgw.png" xmltv_id="Polsat Film 2">Polsat Film 2</channel>
<channel update="i" site="polsatboxgo.pl" site_id="1456330##4x/kyskn9sq2ztqpumyepe4sqembs8gowrb.png" xmltv_id="Polsat Reality">Polsat Reality</channel>
Last question: how to automatic generate a complete file polsatboxgo.pl.channels.xml with all 200 channels? I try like on a sample in FAQ but don't works :( Search manual in HAR is very slow :(
try running update mode c
the channel list creation might work.
on the site they do it in groups of 40 channels.
look at this request..
https://b2c-www.redefine.pl/rpc/navigation/
its uses POST and in the body there is this setting.
"limit":40,"offset":0,
so this gives you the first 40 channels.then it changes to.
"limit":40,"offset":40,
for the next 40 channels.
ect.
ect.
i changed it to
"limit":500,"offset":0,
so it might work and give all channels in one request.
it it doesnt work the ini needs to be changed to get them 40 at a time.
GREAT! Works! Thanks a lot!
In attachment full file
also when you run
<update>c</update>
new channel lists are created in your webgrab++config.xml directory.
so check there for a new channel list.
