.ini to generate a .xml file full of details

Blackbear, my friend ... I haven´t seen that before... Believe me.

This is just what I was looking for... thank you very much. I´ll take a look and if I have any doubt I´lll write to you, although it seems to be quite clear.

Thanks again.

the above is good for shows  that repeat daily.for what your sayng for a weekly data and its different week to week then you will need to use something else.

merge-xmltv.ini is what you would want.you would need to create your data.xml manually and add the data in the same format as webgrab would create it(and your example shows).now if this schedule is repeated week after week i can help you modify some stuff so you dont have to update the date in the start="xxx" and stop="xxxx" fields.we would just add the start/stop time here(without the date component) and have webgrab calculate this for us.

yes...  my approach is try to generate an .xml guide with these programs per day and week:

So with the fixed.ini I could generate the programs for one day, but for the next days it seems not possible to do it, right?

This makes me to start to think in your second suggestion... I should create an .xml guide by my self preserving the same structure as WebGrab generate but, with all the programs listed per day and week, it´s correct?

I ask you that because my intention is try to generate several .xml guide files with information like the above chart and re-generate it once per week with the new dates/times for each program.

Hi,

Just an update of what I´m doing... I attach the WebGrab++.config.xml file with the programs from monday to friday.

I´ve created this structure...

<channel update="f" site="fixed" site_id="
  The progrmas for that day...
  ####"
  xmltv_id="RadioMARCA_monday">RadioMARCA_monday</channel>
  <channel update="f" site="fixed" site_id="
  The progrmas for that day...
  ####"
  xmltv_id="RadioMARCA_tuesday">RadioMARCA_tuesday</channel>
  <channel update="f" site="fixed" site_id="
  The progrmas for that day...
  ####"
  xmltv_id="RadioMARCA_wednesday">RadioMARCA_tuesday</channel>
  <channel update="f" site="fixed" site_id="
  The progrmas for that day...
  ####"
  xmltv_id="RadioMARCA_thursday">RadioMARCA_tuesday</channel>
  <channel update="f" site="fixed" site_id="
  The progrmas for that day...
  ####"
  xmltv_id="RadioMARCA_friday">RadioMARCA_tuesday</channel>

Well, in this point. My doubt is... how can I differentiate the shows of each day of the week??

I had to give this identifiers: xmltv_id="RadioMARCA_friday">RadioMARCA_tuesday</channel> for each day (check the log file because if I write in all of them this:

xmltv_id="RadioMARCA">RadioMARCA</channel>

I get this error when I run it:

Keep waiting your comments...

Best regards.

@Blackbear, I have no words for this... you are a complete genious!

I was struggling with my brain to try to understand how the programs change in the days. This is the best solution from my point of view.

Thank you very much for all.

Can you please make the change for 14 days ??? I've already tried everything and I can not get it ... Thank you very much.

Sorry @maxcalavera just to understand it... Which is the problem to run the grabber on Monday instead of Sunday?

Hi!
Regarding this issue... I´ve created my self config.xml with the programs that I want, but I get these errors when I run it:

[Error ] Unable to update channel Radio MARCA
[Critical] Generic syntax exception:
[Critical] message:
[Error ] Current culture: en-GB
[Error ] time parsing error : String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
[Error ] stoptime time scrubbed : 3.
##image:http://e00
[Error ] computer date/time format: 21/06/2018 15:35:07
[ Info ] Existing guide data restored!

I can´t understand why the Current culture is in English when I setted up my .ini in Spanish

And about the time parsing error... I´ve been reviewing the config.xml file but I haven´t seen any relevant on it.

Could you please help me?

its because you have Liga 1|2|3.
u cannot use | in your data as wegrab uses these internally as separators for programs.
change it to Liga 123 or Liga 1-2-3 or whatever you want,just dont use the |.

Solved! Thank you
