Grabbing additional information about a program

the German TV guide page "tvinfo.de" lists a lot of additional information about a program, e.g., whether it has dual audio, subtitles, aspect ratio, and so on (Screenshot 1). However the current siteini only grabs the video quality (Screenshot 2). As far as I can see, the XMLTV format supports more tags, at least subtiltes and audio. Is it possible to grab these additional information as well?

Thanks

webgrab doesnt have audio(stereo and dual audio) so i added it to the end of the description.

Thanks, that worked great!

However, I noticed another problem with tvinfo.de for the ZDF channel. I just grabbed the programme (13.11. at 12:30 ) and the programme is correct until 17.11. at 18:00, but after that it starts to get wrong. As you can see in the screenshots, none of the programmes are correct anymore, even though they are correct on the tvinfo.de website. I compared it with the official ZDF website. What's even stranger is that the incorrect programme corresponds exactly to today's programme, 13.11.

Thanks!

I updated the site.ini pack but I get this error message now:

[Critical] SiteIni syntax exception:
[Critical]       file: C:\Users\Konto1\AppData\Local\WebGrab+Plus\siteini.pack\Germany\tvinfo.de.ini
[Critical]       line: 8
[Critical]    message: 
[Critical] Multiple identical @Revisionision 10 defined
[Critical] Execution stopped

Is this because Revision 10 appears twice in the ini file?

yes,that would be the fix but you cannot change it as it would break the file encryption.
here it is fixed.
rename it to remove the underscores.
