My first attempt at creating a ini. Not sure what my error is

Hey all, finally found a site (and time) that i assumed would be a good starting point.
 
https://sportsmax.tv/index.php/pr-schedule
 
Setup up just the first few steps using SiteiniIDE and am getting errors.  Any help would be appreciated.
 
Uploading the ini, config, and Log i have so far. Be gentle, its my very first true attempt. I'm sure i'm messing up something

I accidentally uploaded my license, but brings up a good question. My VPS and Linux Mint are my computers registered. I use my Win laptop for kick around things that don't need license (running channel list etc...) Will that be an issue? Do i need to have my Win laptop registered to build an ini?

here's the actual log

yes it would also need the lisence line in your webgrab config.without it debug is disable and why u see the crazy message in your log.
but it will cause issues as u already have 2 pc registered.
find a pre lisence version of wg to use(like 2.1.9) when messing around on ur win laptop.

ok, i'm pretty sure i saw someone ask this, but just can't remember. So if i force license right now on my laptop, does it register it immediately?

Then, later in the evening can i force my Linux Mint server back since it runs a grab 2 am (US Central Time). My VPS can't run Foxtel Australia. I tried a bunch of things, but alas it didn't work, just continues to timeout. I think it has to do with the DNS Address since i found a post where some folks had the same issue, but none of the recommendations worked. So i decided to run that one on my Mint server.

u would have todo a force hwid update also,update mode f, h for your lisence.
as i said above i wouldnt recommend this.
i would leave your 2 server(users) that are currently have their hwid registered as these are the ones u use regularly.
find 2.1.9(i am sure a google search should find it someonewhere).
use this for messing around creating ini as it wont run v3 encrypted files but ur not using its for this purpose.

now to sportsmax...
first the site is https(u have http).
i am sure this will redirect to the https site but sometimes sites kill the redirect so its best to use https.
2nd
look at the request headers,there is a special one there thats needed..
authorization: bearer xxxxxxxx
luckly for you this value is fixed(doesnt change) so all you do is need to add it using a customheader request.
dev tools show this data in json format so you need to convert it to a http request as thats what webgrab uses.
so basically replace :[space] after authorization with =(see screenshot).

now u shud see something in debug....

Having a difficult time seeing the authorization: bearer xxxxxxxx part with the dev tools. Would it be in "Network" tab of Dev tools?

Sorry, really want to figure this stuff out.

found it! My filters were not there, then got them to show, chose XHR, selected a diff channel and bam.

So for future references, is authorization: bearer xxxxxxxx a common thing i need to look for?

I'm still not sure i'm doing something correct. I pasted the authorization bearer exactly how it its listed. I noticed your token doesn't seem like it has as many characters as the one i'm copying.

Did i input the url_index.headers incorrectly?

i assume in ur wg config ur channel line request is site_id="1" for example?
as this pages lists?

https://scheduler2.sportsmax.tv/api/v1/channels

i see no other reason why you shouldnt get debug data.
no what u have wont work as a normal ini as u dont have showsplit,ect but u shud see some data in debug.
ex put this in ur browser...
https://scheduler2.sportsmax.tv/api/v1/channels/1/scheduled_programs/202...

You'd be proud of me, i actually did have "1" for site_id (i'll attach it, just in case something else looks incorrect).
 
And yes, i actually figured out the date thing last night and was checking out different channels and different dates.
 
Does my ini look correct (how i added the url_index.headers), i'll also attach it again

whats ur channel line from ur wg config?
why is ur xmltv_id="dummy"
yes i can see this for testing(making a new ini) during testing.
normally i do channel xml creation first so i am usings a valid line.
are u sure u are?
what i mean is xmltv_id="xx" can be anything along with channel name.the site_ID="XX" IS THE IMPORTANT ONE AS I SAID ABOVE.

I saw that weird format in the log as well and thought that didint look correct.  For the date format i have this
urldate.format {datestring|yyyy-MM-dd}
 
I'm attaching the ini again just in case

I had no clue you've done this site already, but even then, i guess i still want to see if i can get it to work, since i want to get some experience.
 
Here's my url_index
url_index{url(debug)https://scheduler2.sportsmax.tv/api/v1/channels/|channel|/scheduled_programs/|urldate|}

i also see u dont have a ..
url_index.headers {customheader=Accept-Encoding=gzip,deflate}
its no big deal(u need to know how webgrab works as its ignored 99 % of the time.
we all add it out of habbit
but i have seen sites that will do compression only.
so u need to tell webgrab what it is by ading to ur site {xx}
see the manual for comeprssion= setting.
i know it dont apply here aqs i dont use it.

Did we ever get to a finalized version of this? The API still seems to be available.

Thanks.
