WebGrab+Plus, libreELEC, Pi Howto?

**MikeKL** · July 3, 2016 at 7:18 PM

Anyone know if its practicable to instal and run WebGrab+ Plus and automatically schedule a regular creation/update of tvguide.xml for use by tvheadend backend/frontend on a Raspberry Pi running LibreELEC OS? Ref Webgrabplus documentation, Installation on raspberry pi

I am aware of individuals stating that they have WebGrab+ Plus running on Pi's where they have Raspian or similar installed, but not when only have ~~OpenELEC~~ LibreELEC as OS on the Raspberry Pi. Above link to documentation talks about requiring a specific version of mono, before installing webgrab+ plus.

I have been ruuning webgrab+ plus on Win10 PC automatically for a while now, passing resulting tvguide.xml to Pi using xcopy.
Would like to have everything running cleanly and self-sufficiently on Pi if its possible with latest LibreELEC OS.

Thanks for any latest tips/pointers

The answer will depend upon the EPG data source that you're trying to work with?

For my personal use in Spain I have been pulling information for my EPG from elpais.com as TVheadend is not pulling all channel(s) information over the air and I am getting a number of channels with no EPG info via DVB-T.

Possibly easier to use xmltv, perhaps via docker. mono seems a huge amount of overhead for something that linux can do natively.
