Rakuten TV Poland

Hello everyone

Would it be possible to grab the schedule from Rakuten TV Polska.
If so, I have an urgent request to write an ini for this portal.
I know that for some channels I will find a schedule in samsung tv or pluto tv.
My main point is that the distributor started to add channels targeted at the Polish market with a Polish voiceover and a Polish EPG.

The Rakuten TV website seems to be identical for PL, UK, DE, ES and possibly other languages.
Maybe one ini could handle all language versions of this portal.

Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you for your answer
I hope @mat8861 will find time and look at it.

Rakuten is present in 17 European countries, I think it would be worth trying to get a guide from them.

Hi Matt

Of course I don't want ini in 17 versions. :)
I need one Polish version.

I came up with this idea and tested events downloaded from plextv or from pluto tv and samsung tv and also from stirr because I find in the lists those channels that are in Rakuten TV PL.

For several channels I succeeded and the schedule overlaps. but unfortunately, most channels have a completely different schedule and do not coincide with what Rakuten TV Polska broadcasts. I hit 9-10 channels out of 69 that are available.

I also looked at the time zones because the channels are directed to the USA, UK, DE, CA, NZ markets, but this also did not suit me to the PL version, taking into account the time shifts.

If you managed to make a version for one country, I think that for others it would be just a cosmetic fix in the ini because Rakuten pages are identical for all countries, at least in Europe.
It seems to be the same as horizon.tv.ini

Thank you for your interest in the subject and I look forward to good or bad news, I prefer the good.

Regards

Thank you Matt
For the Polish version of Rakuten everything works as it should.

If possible, I would like to add an age category.
I have a rating downloaded and displayed everywhere, it would be useful here as well.

I checked and age or category are for main channel, this means that all the shows will have the same value, which would be incorrect. It's very strange because for example with Italian or French (on some channels) you can get details like actor director, category but not for poland.
