Join two files guide.xml

I think you hate me, but can you make me one example?

I have c:\guide1.xml and c:\guide2.xml

Need i make one file merge-xmltv.ini an write inside:

subpage.format {list|c:\guide1.xml c:\guide2.xml} line

After i don't understand about channel.xml :(

Ok Ok. Thank you like usually, I will have problems i will ask again :)

I need ask you again. I think the setup of my ini is ok, Inside my original WebGrab++.config.xml I have this config:

<channel update="i" site="guidatv.sky.it" site_id="##id=101##_##icon_file=101_home.png" xmltv_id="Sky Cinema 1 HD">Sky Cinema 1 HD</channel>
<channel offset="2" same_as="Sky Cinema 1 HD" xmltv_id="Sky Cinema +2HD">Sky Cinema +2 HD</channel>
<channel offset="1" same_as="Sky Cinema 1 HD" xmltv_id="Cinema 1 HD (DSL Lente)">Sky Cinema +1 HD</channel>

What's the way to modify it and use for merge inside the new WebGrab++.config.xml? Please can you explain me?

I did different but is working fine.

I joined all files WebGrab++.config.xml into one inside the new folder WebGrab_Merger

I edited the ini following your instructions an after I replaced "guidatv.sky.it" with "merge-xmltv" and is working perfectly.

Is not working rex, but this is another one question...

At the end something is wrong.. The channels are joined but not the description and other things... What's can be? The log show me

[Error   ] no shows in indexpage!

I totally understood the procedure, is not totally working because skip the channels with offset. Is there another one way?

I follow your way, but is one old bug I think, never fixed. I have same problem of this user.

Excuseme if I am slow to answer you, my connection is really worst, I will read soon your mesages, but thank you in advice.

Ok. I followed everything you told me, I have tree files "guide_01.xml, guide_02.xml, guide_03.xml" my config inside the file is:

inside the file WebGrab++.config.xml I I copied my default configuration and i added all files with this format:

Quote:

    <channel update="i" site="guidatv.sky.it" site_id="##id=899##_##icon_file=899_home.png" xmltv_id="Rai Uno">Rai Uno</channel>
    <channel offset="2" same_as="Rai Uno" xmltv_id="Rai 1 +2HD">Rai 1 +2HD</channel>
    <channel offset="1" same_as="Rai Uno" xmltv_id="Rai 1 +1HD">Rai 1 +1HD</channel>
    <channel offset="0" same_as="Rai Uno" xmltv_id="Rai 1 HD">Rai 1 HD</channel>

If I lunch the script I have this result.

you use these lines in your webgrab++config.xml that you use to grab the actual data from web sites not for merging files.

 

for merging files,at the bottom of the merge-xmltv-utc.ini create a channels.xml

this will scan your guide 1,2,3 xml files and get all the channel id's,copy all the <channel..</chanel> lines from the merge-xmltv-utc.channels.xml to you webgrab++config.xml

merging ini files is the exact same process as grabbing data from websites except the data is read from files and not from a web page so you need a channel.xml for you xml files to read them just like you need one to get channel information from a website.

I am trying to use the scope for make the channels list but I have the same errors, I made the ini file like this:

Quote:

**      #####  CHANNEL FILE CREATION (only to create the xxx-channel.xml file)
** @auto_xml_channel_start
index_site_id.scrub {regex||<channel [^>]*id="[^\"]*"[^>]*>.*?</channel>||}
scope.range {(channellist)|end}
index_site_channel.modify {addstart|'index_site_id'}
index_site_id.modify {substring(type=regex)|<channel [^>]*id="([^\"]*)"[^>]*>}
index_site_channel.modify {substring(type=regex)|<display-name [^>]*>(.*?)</display-name>}
index_site_id.modify {cleanup(removeduplicates=equal link="index_site_channel")}
end_scope
** @auto_xml_channel_end

If I want it works I need also modify the list of the cannels like this, is it the right procedure? Escuseme if I am always asking but I want be sure..

Quote:

<channel update="i" site="merge-xmltv-utc" site_id="##id=899##_##icon_file=899_home.png" xmltv_id="Rai Uno">Rai Uno</channel>
    <channel offset="2" same_as="Rai Uno" xmltv_id="Rai 1 +2HD">Rai 1 +2HD</channel>
    <channel offset="1" same_as="Rai Uno" xmltv_id="Rai 1 +1HD">Rai 1 +1HD</channel>
    <channel offset="0" same_as="Rai Uno" xmltv_id="Rai 1 HD">Rai 1 HD</channel>

If I do it, the file merge-xmltv-utc.channels.xml Is create in the same folder of guide.xml running webgrab.

If I open the file merge-xmltv-utc.channels.xml I have the channels like:

Quote:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site generator-info-name="WebGrab+Plus/w MDB &amp; REX Postprocess -- version  V1.57 -- Jan van Straaten" site="merge-xmltv-utc">
  <channels>
    <channel update="i" site="merge-xmltv-utc" site_id="Rai Uno" xmltv_id="Rai Uno">Rai Uno</channel>
    <channel update="i" site="merge-xmltv-utc" site_id="Rai 1 +2HD" xmltv_id="Rai 1 +2HD">Rai 1 +2HD</channel>
    <channel update="i" site="merge-xmltv-utc" site_id="Rai 1 HD +1" xmltv_id="Rai 1 HD +1">Rai 1 HD +1</channel>
    <channel update="i" site="merge-xmltv-utc" site_id="Rai 1 HD" xmltv_id="Rai 1 HD">Rai 1 HD</channel>
    ..........

I copy all list of channels inside webgrab++config.xml, and I add again the * inside the ini about the scope make the list of channels and I run again webgrab.

After short timre the file guide.xml look like correctly made.

Thank you!
