pluto.tv

Is there anyway that a ini file can be made for the www.pluto.tv website? I know it only has a schedule for the following 8~ hours, but this would still be very beneficial for myself.
Thank you.

I second this, this would be an excellent .ini to add (useful to me too lol).
I don't know if it will be possible though because of the way the guide is on the site :(

If you guys could give it a try.
First I thought that I could have more then 1 day, but that doesn't seem the case.

Looking good from what I can see :)
Unfortunately the XBMC plugin for pluto.tv is broken at the moment so I cannot test it fully yet.
Thank you for all your hard work Francis :)

After getting the chance to test a bit more (the plugin is kind of fixed lol)
There is one issue that I can see, it will only scrape the guide up until 16.30(ish) and then will not scrape anymore, even if you run webgrab again after 16.30.
Other than that it all seems to be correct and scraping the right information etc, which is absolutely brilliant :)

Just tried it and there is full epg info until approx 0100 now (I ran WebGrab at about 1000-1030) :)
This is fantastic, I'll run it again at 0100 if I'm still up and see if it picks up a full 24hrs.
Fantastic work, thank you so much :)

I think the site has changed again lol.
Both the EPG and the plugin are down :(

I've had a look at the ini file to see if it was an easy fix but I'm stumped, looks like the api address has changed but I cannot figure out what to.

Can someone take a look please :)

Thanks

Hello again :)

Can someone take a look at this again please.

I have had a crack at it myself because Pluto.tv seems to have finished updating/altering their website, I can scrape the channel list and get WG to find the schedule page but it is not seeing the programs?

I think its the regex not picking up the details but can't be sure (I'm not great at coding and don't get much time to learn lol)

Thanks in advance :)

UPDATE - The scraper now appears to be working, to a fashion lol.

You can run and it pulls down the information (only for a few hours though) but all the channels pull down the exact same information from 24/7 Cats channel.  I have updated the channels.xml to make sure they are all up to date and tested both v1 and v2 of the API and both give the same results, I'm at a loss as to why.
