They changed the layout of their website, specifically the Guide page so WG+ can't grab anymore. Even update c (creation mode) command can't do anything.

should be fixed.
Updated Oct 25 2023
Off Air for shows with no title,add index date
No shows in indexpage it says. :(
u have been a member 3 years.
i would think that you should know by now that saying what you said wont get you any help.
i will answer your response with it works for me.
i did update the files above but nothing i fixed has anything to do with no show in index page error.
I honestly don't know what am I doing wrong and I also don't know what's "no shows in indexpage!" either. Everything I ever needed EPG for worked as it should (grabbing from just a couple siteinis) until tvarenasport changed something on their Guide page which broke the siteini. You updated it, I updated siteini pack too and replaced old channels with new ones (site ids changed) and who should expect such error? Never seen it on channels I grab daily.
My only guess is that it could be connected to a fact I'm still running older WG+ version which does the job for everything except my most important siteini tvarenasport.
Log from my WG Test config below.
its not going to work with V3.3,you need 5.x
i can make it work with V3.3 by removing the compression but this causes another error with the index date element.
the site has the dates in MM.dd. format and V3.3 doesnt like this,its fine with V5.x
this is needed as the show start times are HH:mm with no date info and epgs for most channels starts from yesterday.
channel 1x2 is different again as the first show may be days ahead of today.
I hope you will accept my honest apology for not trying to grab with latest version before reporting the issue I had.
Regarding v5.1 I'm having issue where grabbing window closes as soon as I start Run. It happens only on v5.# versions, log file remains unchanged as if I never started Run program. I also tried all v5.# Beta versions but same thing. I reverted back to v3 and it works now (except tvarena as expected).
Can I somehow contribute a crash report of some sort so someone can analyze why grabbing won't work on my Windows 11 machine?
you need to install dotnet.
depending on what V5.x your using either dotnet 6.0 or 7.0
example
V5.1 and above is dotnet 7.0
V5.0 is dotnet 6.0
V7.0
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0
all you need is the dotnet runtime,its the last one on the right side in above link.
There is still problem with tvarenasport.com
I have V5 and dotnet V7
update to V5.1.3
I did that but the problem remains the same
not sure why your having problems.
the only difference i see is your using a newer version of dotnet(7.0.13).i'm using 7.0.11
i cant see that making any difference,it happened to be the latest version when i installed it.
here a linux and windows log,as you can see the date it detected and forces webgrab to use the first date of the schedule.
also i noticed a decoder error in your log,i never seen this error before.
try removing compression=br from the site {xxx} line.
I made a copy-paste from mts.rs.ini (Serbia siteini.pack) that you suggested above (first line) and corrected it.
He downloaded the EPG now, I didn't get around to checking if it was correct. Please look in the attachments.
EDIT: seems to be ok, except for Arena1x2
In the mentioned mts.rs.ini, some are missing from the list of channels, but they were in the previous mts.rs.E.ini and showed the EPG well. The operator still has these channels:
- Tanjug TV
- TV Kraljevo
there isnt much that can be done for 1x2.
i would set that to force update <channel update="f"
this way the first event of the first day will always be correct.
this channel only has a single event on a single day.
as i started above the event times are HH:mm and webgrab can easily get confused with this.
setting it to force update will always ensure the first upcomming event has the correct date/time.
re mts.rs,create a new channel list and please dont mix topics,you should have asked this in a mts.rs thread or started anew topic.
I didn't want to create a new topic for this, but is there a way I can modify the "tvarenasport.com.ini" to target tvarenasport.ba (Bosnian version)? I tried changing the domain in the ini file and change the file name, but I get the "file encrypted, skipped" error.
try this.
tvarenasporta.ba
Thanks, seems like it's reading the ini file now, but keep getting following error:
[ Info ] ( 111/235 ) TVARENASPORT.BA -- chan. (xmltv_id=ArenaPremium1BH.yu) -- mode Incremental

your using a older wg version.
if your using V5.x. update to atleast V5.1.4
http://webgrabplus.com/download/sw/v5.1.4
i recommend V5.1.4.2
https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/eval...
Unfortunately, it has the same "site_id" and "xmltv_id" as the tvarenasport.com source ;-)
The same service provider for different countries (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina) with different programs.
