ini file for programme-tv.premiere.fr

Thank you very much Jan. I'll be waiting for your report.

Wow, you did that very quickly.
 
It works, but I would do further testing as soon as possible. Currently, I just found a slight problem in the descriptions that ending with « (n) ». There is the same problem with the telerama.ini file.
 
For Example with a line in the guide.xml file :
 
<desc lang="fr">Le professeur Singer recherche des moyens de propulsion pour que l'homme puisse atteindre rapidement l'exoplanète Gliese 581c, située à 20 années-lumières de la Terre(n)</desc>
 
From my side, I also have a problem complex to explain with the Microsoft guide. With XMLTV file, the Media Center cannot see if a program is a replay or not, and if I set a serie to be recorded, the same épisode is recorded and recorded again at each diffusion.
 
With the BigScreen program that work with XMLTV the problem is solved, but some users use another program to have LiveTV. This program is called DVBLink and is used for specials tunners configuration and works with XMLTV, but in fact, the series recodings don’t work because there are no repeat flag in the XMLTV. If DVBLink+BigScreen are installed, there is a conflict.
 
Not shure i’m clear…You can see more on this topic of DVBLink forum :

The solution seems to have a repeat flag in the XMLTV, but I don’t know how we can do this and if it works.

Thank you for this new version. I will try it soon (Actually, I must make a new configuration of my TV setup because some fréquencies has changed).

Sorry for the (n) that was not a problem of the file, but of me because I have not read correctly the documentation.

For the « repeat » flag I must make more tests to better understand what happend. It’s not urgent because I have found a temporary solution to resolve the conflict between BigScreen EPG and DVBLink. I let you know if I have more information about this.

I have just found this documentation that explain the Microsoft MXF/XMLTVstructure :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd776338.aspx

There is a tag (originalAirdate) with this descritpion, but nothing on how add it to XMLTV:

The original air date (in local time) of the program. Use this value to determine whether this program is a repeat.

 
Thank you so much Jan, you are so fast!
I have now configured a new setup TV and update Channels/Frequency. I also updated DVBLink with the new version of DVBlink and it’s now possible to keep EPG/XMLTV function disabled. I hope this will really solve the conflict. In that case, the repeat bug will be corrected by BigScreen because it uses a special function based on the subtitle to add the “repeat tag” in MCE EPG.
 
But for users that won’t pay to have BigScreen, the repeat problem persists. If a solution can be found this will be great, but not sure and I don’t know how. The “Premiere” tag you have added don’t work, but is present in the details of the program Microsoft EPG near the title exactly at the same place than the habitual “Repeat”  information when is multi-diffused in the classic Microsoft EPG.
 
The last .ini you make works fine, but some details are not recognized by MCE. I think it’s normal because the architecture is not the same with XMLTV than MXF. The task of BigScreen EPG is to translate the XMLTV into MXF and it’s possible that some details will not considered such Episode/Season numbers. For this do you think it’s possible to write the Episode/Season numbers in the program details? (In the rex.config.xml ?)
EDIT: I have found how write the Episode/Season numbers in the program details with the rex file and it works fine.
 
I have also made more tests with more channels, and MDB research doesn’t work fine (see attached log). It takes very long time to finish the process. I don’t know if it’s because programs are in French. On my Media Center, to have Movies/Series information’s, the plugins uses two fast and complete databases (TheTVDB.com for series and The MobieDB.com for movies) that have API and multilingual system. It is possible to create a new DB ini file to use it for WebGrab+?
A this time, I have disabled the MDB with the postprocess setting in WebGrab++.config.xml
 

Many thanks…The last ini file working fine.
Actually, I make tests with two computers:  One with only DVBLink and the repeat problem, and one with DVBLink+BigScreen EPG.
DVBLink Only:
DVBLink has no system for repeat tag, and to add this information; it seems to be complicated. I have found some information’s about this with the code of another program that translate the XMLTV to MXF. I cannot use it because a conflict can appear in DVBLink. But the code of the program use a tag named “IsSeries” True or not, and generates a unique ID for program in the MXF database (Usually a generated guid). You can find the code here: http://xmltv2mxf.googlecode.com/svn-history/r3/trunk/XMLTV2MXF/XMLTV2MXF.cs . I think the problem must be solved by DVBLink and I will write an e-mail to explain it (I have a contact). For the logos, it works fine, but when the program has not his own logo, the première site adds a generic picture (the logo of the site). Is there a way to delete the generic logo when used in the guide? The logo address is: http://cdn2-premiere.ladmedia.fr/design/premiere_common/images/logo_tele7.png
DVBLink+BigScreen EPG:
The BigScreen from XMLTV to MXF that is maked by BigScreen, don’t support the logos. It uses his own system to add some pictures to programs that are with an English title.
 
For MDB process, I have tried the imdb  ini file you give , but I have now some description In English + French. I think it’s not necessary to have more information’s. In the Première site, the description, cast and the production year are present and it works fine.
Thank you very much for your works.

  I have joined an XMLTV file with the generic logo entries like this:
<icon src="http://webgrabplus.com/%3Ca%20href%3D"http://cdn2-premiere.ladmedia.fr/design/premiere_common/images/logo_tele7.png"">http://cdn2-premiere.ladmedia.fr/design/premiere_common/images/logo_tele... />
 
 

Thank you very much.

I have a strange thing with Webgrab…
I have installed the program on two computers. One is for tests with W7, and the other is for use to grab on 2008 server that run 24/24. With W7, I have no problems and the program takes only few minutes with 20 channels. On the server, with exactly the same ini and xml files, I have error messages that you can see in the capture I have joined.
Both computers are on the same network and my internet speed is 100mbps. The account of the server is Administrator and I have tried without firewall.

 
Thank you for your help doglover.
I have tried your solution, and it’s not the <user-agent> that was in fault, but me. I have seen that the premiere site has guide for more than 6 days (max 12) and also set more days in timespan because 6 days is very strong.
It’s strange, but with my W7 computer I have no errors, and with the server it doesn’t work if I set the timespan over 6.
Is there a way to have more days working with “programme-tv.premiere.fr.ini” ? 10 days can be a good compromise.
Thanks

 
I have another problem now  with programme-tv.premiere.fr.ini. I have set the grab to incremental, but  every day the guide.xml was smaller. After editing the guide, there is no shows after the 17 may (tomorow). It's the same thing when I grab with force setting.
 
I think it's a problem with the ini or a site change. 

 
Thank you very much Willy. It seems it works for me too. I have tried on my server and it seems that the "timespam" problem I had is related.  The grab is in process right now for 10 days for 179 Chanel. At this moment the only problems message I have, is one time "403 Skipped Robot check " and sometimes delay's Pausing.
 
I will confirm the work when finished.

 
All is OK now. I have a guide for 10 days and it works with the 2008 server.
Thank you Willy
