Mayor problem with webgrab this weekend

Hi all,

I am using webgrab since 2013 and never had a problem like this. The application is V1.1.1 and also the ini-files are up-to-date. My config.xml links to different websites (tvtoday.de, tvinfo.de and tvtv.de).

On friday 2016-01-29 I reconized the problem the first time. Normaly webgrab starts on 13:00 every day and needs about 2 hours to grab 94 channels. But this time webgrad grabs only 6 channels in 4 hours.

First I checked the internet connection and the ini-files. Second I used another config.xml within other websites. Third I check the website for updates of webgrab and ini. But everything looks perfect.

Afterwards I stard a longtime test. The result: Webgrab actuall needs 24 hours for about 18 channels of 94 channels. To grab the index of any webpage takes neerby 30 minutes. Webgrab shows a lot of "Connection time out" errors.

Need your help!!!! Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your feedback.

The current useragent in my config.xml is "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; MSIE 9.0; WIndows NT 9.0; en-US)". I tried to us a random useragentstring, but changes nothing. Due to I chose "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; MAARJS; rv:11.0)", but also get no changes. Still the same problem.

Since monday the grab on tvtoday.de works fine to me. Looks like a server problem befor.

But the siteini of tvtv.de is cracked. Every channels links to tvtv.de gets the same epg. I used the sideid in the present config.xml here on webgrabplus.com. Its looks to me the contain sideid's are wrong. Do you test tvtv.de extensivily?

Is the support helpful?
support us

Have you seen how many sites wg++ supports? Currently it isn't possible to test all those sites on a regular basis. So no, we don't check sites (except the ones we use ourselves).

 

Tested tvtv.de here and everything works fine. Tested

  <channel update="i" site="tvtv.de" site_id="ZDF_#region=NOTUSED" xmltv_id="ZDF">ZDF</channel>
  <channel update="i" site="tvtv.de" site_id="RTL_#region=NOTUSED" xmltv_id="RTL">RTL</channel>

So unless you give us more info about it, we can't do much.
