Singapore - Starhub TV Guide

HI,

I have tried these new starhubgo.com config files and they work perfectly, thank you so much!

I'm new to WebGrabPlus, and I've never edited an INI file before.  I have posted a request to create an INI file for Starhub, and then learned that you've already done it.  I'm very grateful.  What I want is to read only the news group for Starhub.

Could you advise me how to revise the files to generate an EPG for just these channels?

Thank you for updating the ammended files!  It appears I am facing (newbie) difficulties.  Here is my procedure.

1. Connect my tuner device to the computer.

2. Download the INI and XML config files, copy them to 'C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab'.  Ensure the names are correct, ie- "starhubgo.com.ini" and "starhubgo.com.channels.xml" (and are not affected by the download renaming process).

3. Following instructions here I edited my config.xml to include these lines, taken from "starhubgo.com.channels.xml":

    <channel update="i" site="starhubgo.com" site_id="8637388" xmltv_id="FOX SPORTS NEWS">FOX SPORTS NEWS</channel>
    <channel update="i" site="starhubgo.com" site_id="9326025" xmltv_id="SKY NEWS HD">SKY NEWS HD</channel>

4.  Execute WebGrabPlus application.  Noted some errors during processing. Refer to log file attached.

5.  Execute EPG Viewer but it encountered an unhandled .NET Framework exception.

6.  Opened the guide file 'C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\mdb\guide.xml' (which is the same as configured in the config.xml).  Noted that it includes XML data for the channels FOX SPORTS NEWS and SKY NEWS HD, but no EPG listings. Refer to attached.

 Note sure if I am supposed to follow instructions or make any changes in the config file: "starhubgo.com.ini".  Please advise.

Your analysis of the problem is spot on.  Actually I did download and run the patchexe.bat (as an administrator) during the initial installation, but the way it is written caused it to fail silently.  Here is the relevant code snippet:

if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\WebGrab+Plus.exe" xcopy "WebGrab+Plus.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\*.*" /y 
if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\WebGrab+Plus.exe" xcopy "xmltv.dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\*.*" /y 
if exist "C:\Program Files\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\WebGrab+Plus.exe" xcopy "WebGrab+Plus.exe" "C:\Program Files\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\*.*" /y
if exist "C:\Program Files\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\WebGrab+Plus.exe" xcopy "xmltv.dll" "C:\Program Files\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.1\*.*" /y

What caused it to fail is that I had previously installed the WebGrabPlus application in 'c:\utils\webgrab' and not 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare' or ''C:\Program Files\ServerCare'. It is an old (and good) habit of mine not to use the default Windows installation folder, particularly because Java applications don't like file paths with spaces in them.  Oh well, as a workaround, I manually copied the two files and re-tested the application.

I am now able to read EPG data.  Thank you! 

I have attached a screenshot to prove it's woking.  I am also attaching a copy of the log file.  I am curious why it is reporting errors, such as the following:

[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=BBC World News HD) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=FOX News Channel) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=SKY NEWS HD) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=CNBC) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=Bloomberg Television) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=CNN HD) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=CNN Headline News) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=CCTV News) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=Phoenix InfoNews Channel) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=Zee News) in the config file
[Error   ] Could find existing channel (xmltv_id=China Business News (CBN)) in the config file

Please advise if this is something I should be concerned about.  Is that supposed to be "could find" or "could not find"?

Also, how do I correct this error:

statistics upload error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks.  Really appreciate your assistance and swift replies.
