Hi,
It's been a while since this ini (site) has been updated (rewritten). It hosts many channels for Greece (Terrestrial, Cosmote, Nova).
Can anyone help to start updating the tv.pathfinder.gr.ini file to correctly grab data from the website?
Link to the current version of ini file: http://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/download/ini/info/siteini...
Here is some sample html code from the website (for this example i use channel Epsilon TV (ETV) url: tv.pathfinder.gr/etv

That site all local like Mega, Ant1,Alpha take you to EPT3 page, also Nova and OTE channels are not working
Hi mat8861,
You have to chose the channels from the sidepanel not the search-engine button. Look at the attached picture.
Hi mat8861,
many thanks for updating the ini file. It seems to work now by adding channel and show delays. Otherwise the page starts blocking the browser (ip) and shows only the ERT3 page like you wrote.
This might be a good solution for many Greek people wanting to update the Cosmote channels, since cosmote.gr tvguide page has been updated and the current cosmote.gr.ini needs to be rewritten/updated.
Glad the site ini works ok, even though a lot of work was done before not by me, but Andreas Kontarinis and Blackbear199 so all thanks go to them first.
For other site ini I hope the creators of Webgrab will find a solution so everyone can enjoy this nice software for personal use and not use it for profit, may be someday will see something new.
Hi mat8861, is possible to upload the ini file in topic? Thank you
file is available for donators
Ok friend, thank you for the info.
Thank you mat for your help, work great :)
Hi, from yesterday i grab epg only from first channel. After that pathfinder blocks my ip. When i change ip with vpn i can connect but i grab again only first channel. Have someone any suggestion? thank you.
I change the days to grab from 7 to 3 and i think is ok now.
Hi, I've become a donator. Should the file be visible to me in this post somewhere?
when you become donator you will see in your profile the donator badge http://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/styles/mini/public/badges...
Thanks. Guess I should just wait for the mods.
Sorry to bother. Can you provide the file? Thanks
Hello,
I have 3 issues when pulling from Pathfinder. Maybe you can help.
1) when the show title is in CAPS the scrab is returned with caps in first letter and lower case for the rest (e.g. "FOOTBALL BLAH BLAH" is returned "Football Blah Blah"). This cause some formating issues as in Greek the Caps S and lower case S are different. Can the original CAPS format be retained in the scrab?
2) when a title includes "/" whatever after the / is ignored (e.g. "Football 2019/2020" is returned "Football 2019/")
3) live sports include "(Z)" to indicate that it is live. However this is ignored e.g. "Football (Z)" is returned "Football".
Can any of the above be corrected?
Thanks!
Check new version in siteini.pack
Thank you Mat!!
It seems that all 3 issues are fixed.
However, I have an issue with the Novasports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) channels. They all show data only for today. All the other channels show 7 days. I am not sure if the issue was there before your changes.
it could be...many sport site are stopped because the covid...so no epg.Check if they have it in case i will fix.
No, the channels play normally and local matches have started. As of now the EPG is not pulling any schedule for these channels. the tv.pathfinder.gr website includes a schedule but it is not scrubbed:
http://i.tv.pathfinder.gr/channel/novasports1
EDIT: Apparently, pathfinder is now not populating a long list of channels (all for one specific TV provider).
Hi. Novaguide.gr has recently changed and Novaguide.gr siteini doesn't work anymore. This is why tv.pathfinder.gr cannot show its EPG programs. I already posted site.ini request under the name of " Novaguide.gr(Greek Channels) website changed recently". I think for Nova channels it will be better to have a site.ini for Novaguide.gr.
The new url: https://www.nova.gr/en/node/32742
The old url: https://www.nova.gr/en/tv-guide/?orientation=filterList
I attached all the info regarding existing Novaguide.gr site.ini
Thanks in advance
