WebGrab+Plus

Quote from awiouy

You're on your own, now

Upon a reboot of my rpi2 to install milhouse nightly build of LibreELEC service.webgrabplus was restarted and back into every six hour EPG update + my cron job 03:00. (Assume because it Stops but does not fully Disable service, when disabling the WebGrab+Plus service addon?)

So for now in summary :-

1. Disabled WebGrab+Plus service via the Kodi Ui (Fully disables addon, but currently believe does not fully disable service?)
2. Disabled service via the command line (systemctl stop service.webgrabplus, then systemctl disable service.webgrabplus)
3. Utilising a cron job to run webgrabplus.start automatically and only once a day at 03:00

Hi guys,

you were here talking about exporting epg somewhere on NAS via samba or etc. I tried everything i can and the only way which worked for me was mounting a directory. (i am no linux expert, just followed step by step) any way i used this

mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //192.168.0.140/admin/kodi/EPG .kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus/EPG

the problem is that after every restart i have to log in to rpi and execute this command manualy

is there a way how to use this command after every restart automaticly?

(sorry for my english, its not my native language)

I have managed to build Mono for Odroid_C2.

Volunteers may thus test WebGrab+Plus on Odroid_C2

To test:

• install mono
• install webgrabplus
• provide your feedback on this thread

Hello awiouy,

Thanks for the addons i installed them on my C2 and it works great!

If i run webgrab i get a guide_wpg.xml instead of a guide.xml is this correct?
I'm running tvheadend from a seperate odroid XU3 and i trying to manage the guide.xml into my seperate tvheadend server but i can't get it to work.

I tried to mount the folder in tvheadend server where the guide.xml exist over smb but still no luck.

I have a tv_grab_wg++ file in /usr/bin in tvheadend server like this

#!/bin/bash
xmltv_file_location=smb://192.168.178.169/storage/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus
dflag=
vflag=
cflag=
qflag=
if (( $# < 1 ))
then
cat "$xmltv_file_location"
exit 0
fi

for arg
do
delim=""
case "$arg" in
#translate --gnu-long-options to -g (short options)
--description) args="${args}-d ";;
--version) args="${args}-v ";;
--capabilities) args="${args}-c ";;
--quiet) args="${args}-q ";;

#pass through anything else
*) [[ "${arg:0:1}" == "-" ]] delim="\""
args="${args}${delim}${arg}${delim} ";;
esac
done

#Reset the positional parameters to the short options
eval set -- $args

while getopts "dvcq" option
do
case $option in
d) dflag=1;;
v) vflag=1;;
c) cflag=1;;
q) qflag=1;;
\?) printf "unknown option: -%s\n" $OPTARG
printf "Usage: %s: [--description] [--version] [--capabilities] \n" $(basename $0)
exit 2
;;
esac >&2
done

if [ "$dflag" ]
then
printf "$0 is a wrapper grabber around WebGrab+Plus\n"
fi
if [ "$vflag" ]
then
printf "0.2\n"
fi
if [ "$cflag" ]
then
printf "baseline\n"
fi
if [ "$qflag" ]
then
printf ""
fi

exit 0

maybe you can tell em what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hello Marciano!

Thank you for the positive feedback. You just confirmed that a recent version of Mono builds and runs static for all LibreELEC projects. I am happy about this, and I hope it will stay that way.

WebGrab+Plus indeed creates guide_wgp.xml, but it is then copied into guide.xml and mediaportal.xml by xmltv_time_correct and WP2MP. Refer to guide.xml and mediaportal.xml rather than guide_wpg.xml, whose state is transient while WebGrab+Plus is running, which may last quite a long time.

A preferred option is for consumers to access http://guide.xml/mediaportal.xml at the LibreELEC/webgraplus producer, eg at smb://libreelec.local/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus/guide.xml.

If that is not possible, create after.sh shell script in smb://libreelec.local/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus/after.sh, eg to mount a destination and copy http://guide.xml/mediaportal.xml to that destination.

I hope this has helped you

EDIT:
To mount a smb share on linux, adapt the command below to your needs:

Code

mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWD //192.168.1.88/shares /mnt/share

Thank you awiouy,

I created a after.sh shell script with my copy command and if i run that script manually from the webgraplus folder script is working fine.
But how to run this script automaticly?
Is the after.sh shell script starting auto when webgrab finished with grabbing channels and mdb postprocessing?

Hi awiouy,

Grabbing tv channels works great but slow but something is wrong with mdb postprocessing.

I tried it several times but it fails with this error from log:

Maybe you can help me with this?

Quote from awiouy

Is there detailed info in WebGrab++.log.txt?
That file should be in the addon's home folder

Hi awiouy,

I paste the content of my WebGrab++.log.txt here.

Hope this is useful.

Thanks!

Hello Marciano!

The logs you provide suggest that your problem is related to mdb post-processing
According to the WebGrab+Plus web site, mdb.ini files have changed with version pre56.25.
It is however unclear where updated mdb.ini can be found or where they should be placed.

Unfortunately, WebGrab+Plus does not ship as a coherent set of files, but piecemeal.
I have tried to overcome this problem by grouping a coherent set of files in a github repository.
Apparently, I have overlooked updated mdb.ini files.
I am sorry for this.

If anyone here knows where I can find the updated mdb.ini files and where WebGrab+Plus expects them, please report here and
I will update the addon accordingly.

Until then, I am afraid mdb post-processing is broken.

Thnx for looking awiouy!
I hope this can be fixed soon!

Quote from awiouy

Argh!

The mdb.ini files are shipped with siteini.pack.
mdb post-processing however expects them in the mdb folder.

Then, WebGrab+Plus creates one or two guides, depending on whether grab/run are enabled.
The guides further have distinct names.

What a mess!

I will nevertheless try to adapt the addon.

Yes! i found the files in the siteini.pack from the webgrab++ site!
Then copied the files and overwrite the existing files and change the language for my purpose and ran the mdb-postprocessing again and it seems to working right now

When finished i let you know!

Thanks and cheers!

Quote from awiouy

This pull request updates the mdb ini files.
mdb post-processing should now be operational.

I am looking for volunteers to test the preview releases below:

• for LE7
• for LE8

Please report here if it makes or if it breaks

Where do you change the language?

In the mdb folder you have to edit the tvdb.com.bin.ini

To set the prefered language, do the following:

1. Open for editing tvdb.com.bing.ini .
2. Have a look at the table below, it gives the language codes of the available languages in thetvdb.
Remember the tow letter code for your language. e.g sv for Swedisch
The language number is not relevant here.
3. Locate this line:
mdb_temp_4.modify {addend|'mdb_temp_1'/all/en####} * change this line to set your prefered language!!
And change en#### into sv#### for Swedisch
4. Save tvdb.com.bing.ini , obtionally with another name , like tvdb.com.bing_sv.ini to distinguis it from the original.
In that case also change the filename in mdb.config

That's all!!

thetvdb available languages and their codes:

English 7 en
Svenska 8 sv
Norsk 9 no
Dansk 10 da
Suomeksi 11 fi
Nederlands 13 nl
Deutsch 14 de
Italiano 15 it
Español 16 es
