Hi,
I am in the UK and have setup WebGrab+ to grab Radio Times data, including the previously shown data where it exists.
The problem with this is that I have also setup the functionality to copy the data for the +1 channels from the ordinary channel and offset it by an hour.
The problem with this is that the previously shown data is also applied to the +1 channels when ideally a show that was new on the standard channel is now a repeat when it is broadcast on the +1 channel.
Is there any way to process the data so that all programmes on the +1 channels are marked as repeats without having to download the data for these channels separately?
Many thanks,
Arnie580
Thanks for your quick reply, I'll explain a little more about what my setup is currently doing.
For some channels, such a ITV and BBC the previously shown flag is being put in the XMLTV file as I had hoped, for other channels it isn't, however I am putting this down to the fact that these channels don't provide the data and therefore it is working as expected. This is being reflected in my PVR software ArgusTV.
The issue I have is that where is programme is correctly shown as a new episode on ITV this is correctly reflected and doesn't have the previously shown flag. However, when the data is copied using the offset feature to ITV+1 because as you have correctly said it is just doing a straight copy of the data and therefore on the +1 channel it is still being shown as a new episode. If it is possible I would like when it is copying the data (or using REX if that's a way to do it) mark all the programmes as previously shown even if they weren't on the original ITV channel.
If possible I'd like to avoid re-downloading the same data.
Thanks again for the prompt reply. I've tried adding the line you suggested however it doesn't seem to be adding the flag. I can't find any documentation to say whether or not the offset feature will look to process any of the data in this way as I guess it's expecting that it should be exactly the same?
Ah right I've misunderstood your post then. Thanks for your help on this matter.
