Hi,
Im trying to grab Australia Freeview channels freeview.com.au.channels.xml
I load all these channels into the WebGrab++.config.xml file, run it and get (sample)
Found existing channel (xmltv_id=Adelaide - SBS 2) in the config file
Group (0) :
[ Info ] update requested for - 188 - out of - 188 - channels for 1 day(s)
[ Debug ]
[ Info ] ( 1/188 ) FREEVIEW.COM.AU -- chan. (xmltv_id=Adelaide - SBS 2) -- mode Force
[Error ] Unable to update channel Adelaide - SBS 2
[Critical] Generic syntax exception:
[Critical] message:
[Error ] no index page data received from Adelaide - SBS 2
[Error ] unable to update channel, try again later
[ Info ] Existing guide data restored!
Help.........
Thanks Goran - only issue is that the XLSX file used to configure WebGrab++.config is no longer there.
ok - so no xlsx file, looking at your freeview.com.au.channels file - it looks like there's only 9 VIC Melbourne entries. How do i go about finding the site_id's used for melbourne? can i use something on the freeview website to select the ones i'm after?
Goran your showsplit is incorrect.
Thanks Goran - the data looks ok to me!
Did you make any changes after mat8861's comment?
Hey goran - you sure this is all working as expected. Just noticed these entries in my log:

Hey there,
Just found this thread, as I found freeview stopped working for me also. I have loaded the zip file provided further up, but see there are some channels missing, TVSN, Spree and a couple of the other new ones which have recently appeared.
Is there somewhere, there is a full updated zip file which can be downloaded for Australian freeview?
Howdy,
Thanks for that, tried re-generating the channels file, did not work for some reason.... will run with a debug flag, see if I can see whats going on....
I did look at the api url that you have listed in your ini file, and searched that raw xml output, and it appears some of the channels dont exist in there either yet.....
so looks like freeview stuff needs some catching up?
Yup thanks, still working that out, but yep finding the same as you :-) thanks for the patience..
Sorry for my ignorance, but where is the new file located?
Looking on the EPG download page Freeview is listed as being updated in 2016.
When trying to setup I'm getting the error: The remote name could not be resolved: 'freeviewcdn.azureedge.net'
I believe this is due to having an old config file.
Just wondering where I can find the latest one with current site info.
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm also looking for the latest freeview ini file. I'm in Brisbane.
{edit] - found it in the zip above. all good.
Hi Goran,
first of all please let me express my thanks for all the work you are doing here. It is highly appreciated.
Before I decided to post here I read through the freeview.com.au.ini multiple times and tried to figure out what needs to be changed. I also downloaded the updated freeview.com.au.channels.xml. However, I still can't make it work. I still receive "no index page data received from" when using the new XML file.
Are there any changes in the ini file which I am missing? I can't seem to find any further changes or a downloadble update :-(
Sorry for the trouble. Perhaps I am just missing the obvious, but as of now I am running out of ideas.
Thanks!
Thanks for your quick reply, Goran! Also very much appreciated.
No, I hadn't seen the post before, but it gave a lot of insight and I understand now why the files are no longer available. So it wasn't me missing something, it was simply no longer there ;-)
Pity, but thanks for the info!
Just wondering Goran, if there is any updates to this at all. I have noticed that the EPG being pulled down for one of the channels, is actually different from what the freeview EPG online is showing....
Howdy, I will look into it. trying to work out if its the grabber, or TVHeadened which is the problem. But as an example, in the guide.xml I was looking at from last update, its not actually showing the sow title, but rather the episode as the main title if that makes sense? Will try attach some screens later, but appears from initial looks 9life is one playing up.
*edit: picture attached, showing the differences spotted.... screen of guide.xml entry also added
Thank you for the support, once I can get my head around it a bit more then I am happy to make my own tweaks to the parsing, but time is my pain hahaha - appreciate :-)
Where can i find the file to work ?
