btw mytv has no epg.

Hi Blackbear199,

I updated my user Agent following your suggest but same problem was issued, I can't catch channels from ftpplay.net. Can you share me one epg file which you got from this site to reference?

i am afraid that ftplay will be a no go,i thought maybe some values in the request were static but it appears they are not as it dont work for me today either.so if someone wants to dig through 1000's lines of javascript to figure out how the st=
is calculated then go for it.

vtvcab is also a no go as a access token is needed and it only readable from the cookie which webgrab cannot do.

Hi
someone please update mytv.com.vn, the old data is no longer working.

Thanks for the quick fix, however it only works fine with some channels, there are still many other channels with the same epg.

delete your guide.xml
or
run all these channel with update f to force a complete overwrite(grab all new data)
looks fine to me.
ignore the times as it will look different as i am in diff timezone that you.

also...
files updated above
no revision change
removed all the code for subtitle and episode number info.
different channels use different patterns and impossible to cover them all.

Hi Blackbear199,
Why do some channels have a “\t” character at the beginning of the title?

did u download and replace with the files above.
the siteini.pack has also been updated.

check ini u use and it should have these lines which remove these and others that may be there.
index_showsplit.modify {remove|\\r}
index_showsplit.modify {remove|\\n}
index_showsplit.modify {remove|\\t}

it works well.

By the way, can you update sctv.com.vn and vtvcab.vn ?

https://www.vtvcab.vn/channel/epg
Thanks

heres sctv
i have vtcab.vn fixed also but it wont run on webgrab as its need a token it cannot get.
i use a php script to get the needed token.
if you have a webserver it can be used on it.
check remarks,timezone needs to be set correctly.

vtcab.vn is a simple site.
just use these.
it will bounce the request through my server to get the needed token.

ya, i see whats happening.
my server is getting the token but the epg is grabbed from the pc which is running webgrab.
this wont work.
the token and the epg need to be grabbed from the same ip/pc.

there are gaps in time

the epg data has a stop time.if you dont want the gap disable this line by adding a * to the beginning.
*index_stop.scrub {single|"EndTime":"||",|",}

data showing the stop time and gap on sctv1

Can you send me php file? I will try on my device.
Thanks

edit the ini and on the url_index line change ip to your pc ip.
as i said it need to use the same ip/pc as webgrab.

my php files are in server root/php so i use
url_index {url|http://192.168.2.40:89/php/vtvcab.vn.php}

ur prob going to more like
url_index {url|http://127.0.0.1/vtvcab.vn.php}
specify the port if other than 80.
