There is a new epg source for Brazil from the site: https://epg.pw/areas/br/epg.html?lang=en, just out of curiosity to look at the documentation here on the site I managed to capture events from the site but as it is not developed and I don't know how to adjust, it is capturing few events, some durations quase 24 hours, otherwise it would be some .ini adjustment that I don't know how to do.
But in any way you can give a thought if it is possible, it is not for that I am grateful.
It is very difficult to give an answer like: No, is it not possible to breed?
u do know they supply download links you can use directly in your epg viewer?
look for the xmltv feed page.
this is nothing more than a modifed version of the merg-xmltv-utc.ini thats in the misc folder.
i dont know why but whoever owns the site uses lang="zh" for everything.
i assume they must be chinese.
Actually, I managed to adjust some things in the .ini file; it captures events, but it needs improvement. At the moment, I don't know if it's possible to capture more things like seasons, etc. As I said, I only looked at the documentation and went to test it. As soon as possible, I'll study it more to see what can be done or if it's just a limitation of the site.
use the xmltv feed page.u can view the epg in your browser.
Free EPG source suitable for IPTV | FREE EPG
cant get data that doesnt exist.
i see title,description,maybe audio(stereo),date(useless as its a epg creation date i think,not actual date of the show)
there is no subtitle,episode,credits,ect data.
what your doing is the hard way(scrapping the data),use the xmltv feed page url's.
the files i provided use it.
few things with your ini
1. when the page loads its a multiday epg,maxdays=10.1
means 10 days epg on a single page doesnt break anything if there is less that 10 days available.
2. scope.range {(splitindex)|end}
xxxx
end_scope
this is for your showsplit only.
everything from index_start(all the elements) belong on their own scope which is
scope.range {(indexshowdetails)|end}
index_start ...
index_title ....
all index_xxxx elements go here
end_scope
3. you dont need pattern="HH:mm",pattern is used when webgrab doesnt reconize the date/time format.
in this case webgrab would reconize the time pattern without issues,it doesnt break anything to have it though.
4. substutions dont work in webgrab code..
example
index_episode.modify {replace(type=regex)|"Season\s*(\d+)\s*Episode\s*(\d+)"|S$1 E$2}
your have to do it the opposite in 2 steps...
index_episode.modify {replace(type=regex)|"(?:Season\|Temporada)"|S}
index_episode.modify {replace(type=regex)|"(?:Episode\|Epis[oó]dio)"|E}
alternately episode can use the pattern="xxxx"
the | is special in webgrab,it uses it internally for multi value elements as a separator so u must escape it in webgrab regex.
you can also rip the info right from the title,no need for index_temp_1
index_episode.modify {substring(pattern="Season 'S1' Episode 'E1'""Temporada "S1' Episodio 'E1'""Temporada "S1' Episódio 'E1'""S'S1'E'E1'""S'S1'/E'E1'" type=regex)|'index_title' "(Season\s*\d+\s*Episode\s*\d+\|Temporada\s*\d+\s*Epis[oó]dio\s*\d+\|S\s*\d+\s*/\s*E\s*\d+\|S\s*\d+\s*E\s*\d+)"}
you dont have to worry about handling spaces in season/episode info,they are ignored.
doing it with pattern you also do not need to do regex replaces as i said above.
adding the patterns and webgrab will convert everything to Sx Ey for onscreen or xmltn_ns(see below)
adding the pattern="xxxx""xxxxx"xxxx" also allows you to convert from onscreen to xmltv_ns format but setting the episodesystem=xxx on the site {xxx} line.onscreen and xmltv_ns as the 2 valid settings.default is onscreen.
