Hi,
I am trying to grab channels EPG from OSN (osn.com.ini), it works and grabs the listings but not correct. I look at the XMLTV file and it has the same program repeated . Also the date is wrong, it is shown in the next day (see sample below)

I could grab the EPG but the time of programs is incorrect, e.g. a program would show in my IPTV app in the correct time but for tomorrow's date
Any help with the repeated entries ?
The start/end changes in the xml file depending on the time zone of the PC I use to grab but in both cases the date portion is always wrong.
I used a PC in GMT+2 and GMT-5
Do you mean I should set timezone to UTC ?
I am using elcinema.en.com.ini (also tried osn.com.ini)
I am in GMT-5 timezone using Linux to run WebGrab+plus
This is the channel am testing with
AR: OSN MOVIES COMEDY FHD
What kind of info do you need, I shared the output xml file
UPDATE:
After using UTC right now (time is 9:09 PM on Feb. 6), see the first entry in the xml file it on Feb. 7 @5pm GMT
This is my file (+20 hours from yours)
programme start="20190207223000 +0000" stop="20190208003000 +0000" channel="OSN Movies Comedy HD"
lang="ar">Heartbeats
This is yours
programme start="20190207023000 +0000" stop="20190207043000 +0000" channel="OSN Movies Comedy HD"
title lang="en">Heartbeats
I am using elcinema.en.com.ini (also tried osn.com.ini)
What is your timezone ?
When I used osn.com I had another issue, getting the same show repeated in the xml file
Just tried osn.com.ini and am getting this error
Unable to update channel OSN Movies Action HD
Generic syntax exception:
message:
no index page data received from OSN Movies Action HD
unable to update channel, try again later
Existing guide data restored!
Will you share those required corrections ?. What I did is change the time zone to GMT-1 and that fixed the timing for me (am using Saudi Arabia in the ini and am in GMT-5)
elcinema is based on Cairo time (GMT+2)
Attached is updated ini that fixes multiple program entries and added genre/rating info.
Current ini gives english only. Channel list is the latest.
/Strilen
GREAT
please let me know if you have correct m.whatsonarabia.com.ini and m.whatsonarabia.com.channels.xml because is it impossible for me me to grab
Those files are not included in the latest site updates ?
