ontvtonight ERROR 405 (Not Allowed)

Warning ] error downloading page: Response status code does not indicate success: 405 (Not Allowed)

Good day, could you please help me? I changed my channels from tvguide.com to ontvtonight for the USA and Canada, and everything was working fine until now.  When I try to download my channels, I keep getting the same error.

Seeing similar but getting a 403, it started happening in the last few days.

I can use curl to download a guide page from the same machine just fine.

They started adding ban if you grab too fast, probably the best is to add delay to siteini, if you have other sites to grab from, mix channels so you don't grab continuosly from same site.

I have mixed sources, the 403 happens on the very first grab from the site, and I'm able to curl from the same machine to grab the guide index page without hitting a 403.

I've updated the siteini, webgrab is latest version, I tried changing user agent to latest version from chrome. Still getting a 403 when webgrab tries to grab the guide index page for a channel.

Try updating Channel List.

in my case, HD channels schedules were gone, but still are schedules for the same channels that arfe not HD:

  ##69031236/the-movie-channel-hdtv-west  --> ##69035740/the-movie-channel-west

 

that solved my issues
