Well,

Depending on your config file, you can speed up things.

And to automate on windows: http://webgrabplus.com/documentation/interact-your-pvr-software/schedule...

Well, if you are on windows, you have.

I updated the above link with the content of the UpdateEPG.bat file.

 

For uploading the resulting guide.xml to the stalker portal, you'll give some more information on how you are doing that now. Then we could see how we could add this to the update script.

But firtst you must make the the above working before going further.

Interesting.... i have a similar wish. My grab takes 17 hours daily. I have it working without a script using windows 10 scheduler 

That part is simple enough...in my case i then need to

1. copy to seperate file and overwrite excisting output guide.xml

2. Compress output guide.xml to gzip format, overwrite excisting copy

3. FTP to host server, again overwrite excisting file

I have had a look at this FTP programme: https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_schedule 

I currently use filezilla for FTP and 7zip for compression. It would appear winscp can be scheduled, i am not sure about 7zip...but there must be a better a way of doing all of the above tasks via a script, however i have somewhere between zero and very little knowledge of writing any script...

Thanks

@jenseneverest

What I would do:

1. create a UpdateEPG.bat file and call that instead of the program.

For the "Start a program" value use: /c start "WG++" /min "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\UpdateEPG.bat"

2. in that C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\UpdateEPG.bat file (foregive me if I make a mistake in one of these lines, not tested)

@ECHO off
:CheckOS
IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%" (GOTO BIT64) ELSE (GOTO BIT32)

:BIT64
SET ProgramPath=%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%
GOTO END

:BIT32
SET ProgramPath=%PROGRAMFILES%
GOTO END

:END
"%ProgramPath%\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\WebGrab+Plus.exe" "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab"

@REM copy your file to the name you want
@REM(you could also adjust the guide.xml name directly in the config file of wg++)
COPY /Y "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\guide.xml" "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\guide_new_name.xml"

@REM create the gzip file for uploading
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tgzip "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\upload.gzip" "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\guide_new_name.xml"

@REM upload the gzip file to the server
ftp -i -s:ftp_script.txt

@REM comment out next line, to stop the command window from automaticly closing
@REM PAUSE

EXIT

3. create the ftp command file (C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\ftp_script.txt)

@ftp -i -s:"%~f0"&GOTO:EOF
open the.url.of.your.server.com
your_ftp_username
your_ftp_password
!:--- FTP commands below here ---
lcd C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab
cd  public_html/MyRemoteDirectory
binary
mput "upload.gzip"
disconnect
bye

you'll have to change some of the values to your personal settings, like:

-guide_new_name.xml
-the.url.of.your.server.com
-your_ftp_username
-your_ftp_password
-public_html/MyRemoteDirectory

Hello, I have prepared UpdateEPG.bat file, to which I added a script to automatically run the xml file to my 
FTP server / zip of the EPG, if I run them manually works perfectly, but if you do run into activities planned for 
windows 10, the script does not work, someone had a similar problem?

@echo off
:CheckOS
IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%" (GOTO BIT64) ELSE (GOTO BIT32)

:BIT64
SET ProgramPath=%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%
GOTO END

:BIT32
SET ProgramPath=%PROGRAMFILES%
GOTO END

:END
"%ProgramPath%\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\WebGrab+Plus.exe" "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab"

@REM copy your file to the name you want
@REM(you could also adjust the guide.xml name directly in the config file of wg++)
@REM COPY /Y "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\italia.xml" "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\italia.xml"

@REM create the zip file for uploading
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\italia.zip" "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\italia.xml"

@REM upload the gzip file to the server
ftp -i -s:ftp_script.txt

@REM comment out next line, to stop the command window from automaticly closing
@REM PAUSE

EXIT

 

SCRIPT FTP

@ftp -i -s:"%~f0"&GOTO:EOF
open ftp.myusername.altervista.org
my user
my pass
!:--- FTP commands below here ---
lcd "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab"
cd mypath
binary
mput "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\italia.zip"
disconnect
bye

So, I did the above: batscript itself is working when I give it amin rights manually. It is grabbing and making a zipfile, but it is not uploading the file into my remote server/vps. So, I must be doing sth wrong.

2- The schedual action is also not working and I have been trying every solution I could think of. So, any ideals please?

3. And yes I tried with windows 7 64bit. with or without a password for the active user. And still no joy.
