hello,

I've a actually problem when i grab a channel from AFN. I used WG V5.6 on synology DS918+ with .net v9.

I don't have actually a donator_license!

here are my WGLicense.log.txt

(   1/1   ) AFN.DODMEDIA.OSD.MIL -- chan. (xmltv_id=AFN sports2) -- skipped --> encrypted SiteIni

should I use the in WebGrab++.config.xml this?: 

<decryptkey site="site-name">decrypt_userkey</decryptkey>

Where may I find the information for this?

Would i become the information for decryption mode V3 when i have a donator_license?

can anyone help please?

can you please have a look? 

Is the site name AFN.DODMEDIA.OSD.MIL correct? The web site actually named by v3.myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil !

by by and best regards 

It's not an issue with siteini as it works for me, as you can see from log. It looks like your volume1 disk is somehow blocked, check dns or firewall

see if you can ping from within your path the website

okay .... i will check that. It looks like a permissions problem.

i logged in with user account dsadmin account i the system but i can't get running the script. Then i used "sudo su -" to get root login.

But in the folder are permissions not equal

looks like DNS problem or something like that

Yep change dns to 8.8.8.8 and 208.67.222.222 The ip you show 192.168.178.xxx is a class C probably your router or the gateway of the network

can you please resolve the address afn.dodmedia.osd.mil !

When i resolve this dns record then i dont't get a resolve for this record !

I've checked many dns server but i get no resolve also with web MXtoolbox as well. ????

What does your WebGrab++.config.xml file look like?

I don't have a correct connect to the site! I don't no why?

I can't ping and resolve the site afn.dodmedia.osd.mil from my linux or windows system but the site myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil is resolved and have return ping.

I don't understand what the problem is!

My log attached. it is fine.

what i noticed, you should include full path to xml, set it in config

XMLTV file - /volume1/homes/dsadmin/.wg++/guide.xml - doesn't exist
Check filename and location!
Cannot run MDB postprocessor

the below error could be a character in config, use notepad++ or gedit, use example config in misc folder and add channels and license, then rename it to WebGrab++.config.xml

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

webgrab doesnt have write permissions to create the file.
run it as root or fix your permissions  on the install directory and it will work.

i gave for folder .wg++ and all files and folders in .wg++ root permission and ownership as well. but the same error is displayed.  i could go mad 

but the file guide-debug.xml gets created. why the guide.xml don't be created?

its not about the .wg++ folder/files
its about dsadmin
extract the tar.gz as dsadmin and run webgrab as dsadmin.
you can give .wg++ folder/files whatever permissions you want but if it doesnt own the directories before that its futile.

i had do that but then i become an error with the user dsadmin (that's the system admin):

No internet !! Cannot run without it
WG++ exit ..

Now i created a new user with admin group permissions and the same error is displayed.

When i run the script with "sudo ./run.net.sh" then i have the error "error downloading page: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden)."

i'm confused
