Help w/Pulling EPG from TV.com

I'm having trouble with getting the EPG data to populate in the guide.xml file. I can pull the channel list just fine for tv.com. guide.xml will update with the channel names only, not any guide data. No error messages are shown.

I am running WG++ 2.1 with latest site.ini pack.

you forgot to disable the channel.xml creation section after you created your channel list.

Thank you - it's partially working now. After a few tests, it only adds (nnnnn...) 3-4 channels at a time. I can re-run it, and it will incrementally pass every channel that it's done before, then do another 3-4 channels etc. This is the error message when it fails:

[ Info ] ( 4/6 ) TV.COM -- chan. (xmltv_id=pbswgbh.us) -- mode Force
[ Info ]
[ Debug ]
[ Info ] ( 5/6 ) TV.COM -- chan. (xmltv_id=foxwutv.us) -- mode Force
[Error ] Unable to update channel foxwutv.us
[Critical] Generic syntax exception:
[Critical] message:
[Error ] no index page data received from foxwutv.us
[Error ] unable to update channel, try again later
[ Info ] Existing guide data restored!
[ Debug ]

Please let me know if there is a setting that may help or if this is an issue w/TV.com?

Anyone using tv.com successfully without this issue?

the site is temp blocking your ip for grabbing too much data.
adding delays to slow webgrab down should prevent this.
this is done by adding retry= to the site {xx} line in your ini(see screenshot).
u can try lowering the delays to see if u can make it faster without getting blocked.
