It is forbidden to post phone numbers and email. We help for free.

1. what computer do you have windows or linux ?

for both you have an install package. Once you do that you add your licenses data, an example is here for webgrab config:

https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/site...

So in the same file  WebGrab++.config.xml  you add license and lines for the channel you want epg. Then run the program and it will produce a guide.xml with epg

what OS are you using?
basic steps.

1. install webgrab(see documentation tab)

2. install dotnet,version required depends on webgrab version you install.

i recommend V5.4, download link is on the homepage tab.

it requires dotnet 9

google install dotnet for whatever your OS.

you should find a link to the microsoft site with installation instructions.

note: you do not need the dotnet sdk or asp.net packages.

all you need is the net runtime.

this is because you do not have dotnet installed.

V5.4 ==> dotnet 9

V5.3.x => dotnet 8

open a cmd prompt(not powershell)

run..

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WebGrab+Plus\bin\WebGrab+Plus.exe" C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WebGrab+Plus

replace [username] with your pc username.

webgrab will error and stop but the window will stay open.

you should see a message and what dotnet version its looking for.

edit:

sorry, i made a typo above

make sure C:\Program Files (x86)\WebGrab+Plus\bin\WebGrab+Plus.exe is on qoutes.

this is need because of spaces in the directory path.

fixed above.

1. double check your license line for correct username and passcode.

 Checking License ..
-   Program benefits setting "un_registered_user"

should say

Checking License ..
-   Program benefits setting "registered_user"

2. goto C:\Program Files (x86)\WebGrab+Plus\bin

run the SiteIni.Pack.Update.exe

3.goto...

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WebGrab+Plus\siteini.pack\israel

open a channels.xml file and add a channel line to your webgrab config file to test.

replace/delete the existing <channel....</channel> line

save and then run webgrab.

dont post your personal info on the forums

passcode=password

passcode is the one you see when you look in your forum account details.

dont use your forums login password.

did you find your WebGrab+Plus.config.xml?

where is it located?

the siteini.pack/Israel directory should be in the same place.

delete your webgrab license log.

it contains your personal info.

do you have a siteini.pack folder in the same directory as your webgarb config and log files?

so you now have a siteini.pack folder?

if so remove the yes.co.il files

edit your webgrab config file

add your username and passcode(password)

pay attention to the end of the of the license line and make sure the >f< is there.

add a channel line to test,i assume you want yes.co.il

run webgrab

check your license log,if it says registered_user remove the >f< in your license line so its ><

see screenshot.

Hey BB. Can I suggest you update the info on the download page for v5.5, and change the dot net requirement to v9.0?

Currently it says this here:

---------------------

installer V5
Step 1 : Get the latest Windows version of WebGrab+Plus (The Program)

download (V5.5)
Step 2 : Run the installer  (for WG++ above 5.1 please install first Dotnet 8.0)

--------------------

I had to hunt around a bit to figure out why it wasn't running after updating from v5.3. Might save a few slow folks like me some time in the future. ;)
