day issue in .xml output

When running WebGrab++.config.xml my .xml output file has all the correct info retrieved from EPG channels Canada file (tvhebdo.com.channels.xml), except that the day is wrong the info is all a day ahead exactly in my .xml output file.

What do I need to modify so that the output is basically shifted forward by 24 hours (1 day) .

Example below the start and stop date below needs to be March 21, 2023 instead of March 20, 2023 :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

TVA MONTRÉAL
http://www.tvhebdo.com

C.R.A.Z.Y.

Thanks!

tvhedbo is not a very good choice.
use tvguide.com or zap2it.com
they are both in the international folder.
read the remarks at the top of the ini to create a channel list.

i did a update on tvhedbo.
did u follow the instructions at the top of the ini.
you need to create a cookie file and change the timezone= to your local timezone.
i hadnt look at this ini in years,the data is actually pretty good.
the latest version can be found here..
https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/tree/master/site...

it will be a bit before the changes are migrated to the siteini.pack

Thanks Blackbear199! I have tested it out on a single channel and output xml file seams to much up with the tvhedo guide. There I see that due to https://www.tvhebdo.com/ page on the present day (today 2023-03-18) the table is not in a chronical order and causes issue when running the WebGrab++.config.xml.The next following days are in the right order little bug on their end. I have attached a picture of both of the days so that you can better understand the issue.

I have found a work around if I change my PC date to tomorrow date, it skips that bad day layout and my epg xml file output look fine. Is there any way I can tell it to run from a specific day so that I can skip that bad day without changing my PC date each time?

I was not aware of tvguide.com or zap2it.com I will also be givin them a try, appreciate your help :)

the shows are not out of order.
for today it shows from your local time now for the next 24hrs approx.
for tomorrow and every day after it lists from midnight to midnight.
i just did a 2 day grab and the data looks fine to me,matches the site exactly.

btw for today the show that run into tomorrow that are duplicates on tomorrows schedule are removed.

You are right everything is actually working fine now my bad ;)

One small thing I am trying to update the tvhebdo.com.channels.xml to make sure that the file is up to date, as some channel are not working (LCN and crave 1,2,3,4 all have the same (site_id="crv/CRV").

I have attached my WebGrab++.config.xml,

I have removed the "*" from the lines in the tvhebdo.com.ini file in the CHANNEL FILE CREATION section but when I run my WebGrab++.config.xml my .xml output does not get populated correctly its basically empty.

I have followed these steps http://www.webgrabplus.com/documentation/configuration/sitechannelsxml

always check the site if your getting no epg.
just because the channel is in the channel list doesnt mean epg exists for it on the site.
thats why i suggested you use tvguide.com or zap2it in the first place.

when you use update c dont remove the * from the beginning of the channel lines in the ini.

removing the * was the old manual way.
if you remove them then use update f
dont forget to add the * back when done.
