Problem with dummy.ini

Hey guys, I am having a problem with the dummy.ini file. Do I need to change anything inside the ini file? I'm a total newbie to this, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
To test it properly I used the normal ini file and this code from a post elsewhere about it:

<channel update="f" site="dummy" site_id="xx" xmltv_id="TVN2 HD">TVN2 HD</channel>

This is what I got in the log:

channel TVN2 HD site -- DUMMY -- update mode full

unable to update channel TVN2 HD


System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at WebGrab.Utils.ConvertToTime(String strXmltvTime, Boolean NoOffset, Zone localzone)

   at WebGrab.Program.UpdateChannel(String strIndex, ChannelToUpdate Chan, XmlTarget xTarget)

   at WebGrab.Program.Main(String[] args)

It adds the channel to my XMLTV file but doesn't add the episode information. Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi,

pls add your log and config file. It's difficult to figure out what's wrong without them!

**------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

site {cultureinfo=en-GB|maxdays=14|charset=utf-8|skip=<skip>noskip</skip>|keepindexpage}

url_index {url|http://webgrabplus.com}

index_showsplit.scrub {single||||} * copies the html page

index_showsplit.modify {clear}

index_showsplit.modify {addstart|1\|2\|3\|4\|5\|6\|7\|8\|9\|10\|11\|12\|13\|14}

index_description.modify {addstart|This channel is a 24-7 stream, with no dedicated EPG information.}

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi,

the improved timezone handling of the latest beta requires a timezone value.

In dummy.ini change this line:

site {cultureinfo=en-GB|maxdays=14|charset=utf-8|skip=<skip>noskip</skip>|keepindexpage}

into

site {cultureinfo=en-GB|maxdays=14|timezone=UTC+00:00|charset=utf-8|skip=<skip>noskip</skip>|keepindexpage}

(change the utc offset to whatever you want)
