Hi,
WebGrab+Plus is a multisite incremental xmltv grabber which is in use for nearly two years. It's absolutely free and contains no malware.
Since the last version runs in Windows and Linux/Mono it might be a good moment to bring it to the attention of the XBMC users.
The featurelist:
- runs in Windows and Linux /w Mono
- can grab from multiple sites, programmable by user trough a siteini file
- As of August 2012 siteini files available for 126 TV-guide sites worldwide.
- very fast through incremental grabbing (only changed and new shows grabbed)
- Ability to import epg data from (other source) xmltv files and merge that with that of the grabbed data
- programmable through editing commands that enable changing, filtering, adding, moving, removing (parts) and calculating of the xmltv elements.
- support of combi-channels, channels that show programs from different source channels at specific periods of the day.
- support of time-offset channels, channels that only differ from another one through a timeshift.
- Ability to grab from a very wide range of epg structures of the supported html pages. E.g. single-day, multi-day, multi-page single-day, channel-fragmented single-day and many other variants.
- Very flexible url-builder (that builds the url of the index-page) with support day-number, weekday-name, weekday-number, date-string, date-number and sub-pages. HttpWebRequest methods GET and POST, plus header specifications
- support of grabbing of nearly all (25) xmltv elements
- support of grabbing in all languages (that can be represented in a standard character set), including the non alphabetic like Chinese, Russian, Greek, Japanese etc.
- can grab from 1, 2 or 3 html pages (index - , detail - and subdetail page)
- automatic DST (daylight saving time) adaptions
- fair use of site resources through user programmable delays between subsequent channels, index pages and detail pages.
- conforms to the ROBOTS exclusion standard (http://www.robotstxt.org/orig.html) through a screen warning.
- optional MDB postprocessor that automatically grabs additional IMDB data
- optional REX postprocessor that allows re-allocation and merging [/color]of xmltv elements
