Ini files

Before I start thanks again for this magnificent tool!

WebGrab+Plus/w MDB & REX Postprocess -- version V2.1.5

Running on: Unix 5.1.9.1
Environment: 4.0.30319.42000
Mono version: 5.20.1 (makepkg/886c4901747 Wed Apr 17 15:49:14 UTC 2019)

Same results with V2.1.9. I haven't tried with the 2.1.0 version.

I have recently decided to switch to the BBC's own source for program info on BBC World News. The result is excellent actually better than any other source I have used before but... I can only get one day. For some reason even though it loads index for as many days as requested it stops at the end of the first day with "skipped : last show, no next startime to use as stop" as the last message on the log. Yet there is another full day in the html source... I have put in a debug at the creation of the index_variable_element and although the Block 0 debug info is as expected, the Block 1 seems strange to me.

I have tried a whole bunch of variations but in all cases only the first day is processed.

The attached zip contains

Config: WebGrab++.config.xml
Site.ini: bbc.co.uk.ini
Cookies: hot_cookies.txt

Log: WebGrab++.log.txt
html dump: html.source.htm
Guide: test-debug.xml

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Cheers,

Denis

Hello,

I am trying to make an ini file on macos over mono 5.20.

But I am unable to use scrubbed temp element. I simpy try to add the hour from temp_2 to the end of the temp_1. I tried addend, addstart, replace with 'element' but they did not work.

Here is the snippet of the ini file

Quote:

index_showsplit.modify {sort(ascending,string)}
sort_by.scrub {single(target="index_showsplit")|"no"|:|,|,}
index_showsplit.modify {cleanup}
*

index_temp_1.scrub {regex||"day": "(.*?)", "||}
index_temp_1.modify {calculate(format=date,yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ)|1:0 +}

index_temp_2.scrub {regex||"start_date": "[\d-]*(T.*?Z)", "||}
temp_3.scrub {regex||"end_date": "[\d-]*(T.*?Z)", "||}

index_temp_1.modify{substring(type=regex)|([\d-]*)T.*?Z}
index_temp_1.modify{addend(debug)|'index_temp_2'}

Here is the debug output.

Quote:

index_start.scrub {multi(debug,type=regex,pattern="HHmmss")||"program_stime":"(\d{6})"||}
index_stop.scrub {multi(type=regex,pattern="HHmmss")||"program_etime":"(\d{6})"||}

In the above code if the time below 24 hours the pattern works properly, but when it is above 24 hours up then an error occurs.

What about the solution?

The season and the episode do not appear, I checked the NOS guide and they do. Can someone help me to change the ini to appear in the guide also the episode and season?

Hi,

Rude of me to ask. but I'm cheeky and will ask anyway.

Could anybody kindly create a tvtv.uk ini file? I've had a quick look into modifying the existing tvtv.uk one to suit, but It's a bit beyond me. Would it be possible for someone to look into it for me? I'm loving webgrab as it's given me control over my epg usage and I'm enjoying the reading up and implementing side of things.

Thanks

Peter

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a developer who can create a new site.ini from superguidatv.it.
The site is always up to date, and the file would replace many .ini

I accept offers also for a fee :-)

Is it possible to load a site and read some info and save it in an index_variable, before calling the index_url?

The preload function in the manual doesn't seem to do that what I need.
