    This is the only problem I currently have when using this addon, but hopefully that will be resolved with the PR mentioned above where there will be a before and after script.

    A basic example is from your TV Guide addon LibreElec restricts browsing to this addons userdata folder where the guide.xml is produced, the same restriction occurs with the TV HeadEnd addon.

    You just need to enable "Show hidden files and directories" from Kodi "Setttings\Appearance\File Lists".
    Make sure "Settings Level" is at least "Standard".
    Then you can point to "/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus/guide.xml" in TV Guide Fullscreen.

    Addons can access all the data, users cannot access special://userdata from the Kodi user interface.

    If a user has an SMB problem, then he should open a specific thread in the forum, and provide a log. I this specific instance, I think he has already done, and it is addressed.

    There should be no problem copying the files, as long as WGP produces guide_wgp.xml, which is expected by the next processing step.

    The service uses the siteini.pack in its home folder. If the date of siteini.pack in the home folder is earlier than that provided with the addon, the service updates siteini.pack in the home folder.

    I hope to have answered all of your qurstions.

    Thanks. All Answered.

    I had a good look at service.webgrabplus and tested out compatability with Webgrab+Plus Configurator.
    It seems to work fine for me as long as the filename and folders are set up right.

    The filename has to be guide_wgp.xml to enable the postprocessing, as you mention,
    and the folder has to be /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus

    I checked your code and it only copies new ini files if they don't exist.
    That's good for me as I copy the necessary ini files into the config folder.

    I accessed the guide.xml on LibreELEC from Windows and everything was fine. So SMB seems ok.

    One more cheeky question which you don't need to answer if it is against LibreELEC rules:
    Have you tried to run the webgrab exe on android with mono?
    I didn't want to start trying to compile mono for android if it already exists somewhere.

    Hi. A couple of issues have come up with Webgrab+Plus Configurator.

    I thought I read somewhere here about the addon's addon_data folder being restricted between addons. I might have been dreaming. ;)
    It works ok at the moment.
    Is there going to be any problems with copying the config file output from my addon to yours?

    Someone is having problems with access the xmltv file from smb.
    Could you help solve that for us. I suggested it might be an smb user permission issue.
    TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;)

    Right now I copy out the necessary ini files into the folder that has the webgrab config file and then copy all of them over to your addon's folder.
    Your addon also has a siteini folder.
    What is the best way to make sure we are using the right set of ini files?

    Hello primaeval

    Thank you for your offer.
    In return, if there is anythng I can do to help you out on LibreELEC (WebGrab+Plus and Mono addons), please let me know.

    Thanks. I have got a report saying that exporting the config from my addon to yours produces a working xmltv file, which is good to hear.

    I'll see if I can check compatability myself in the next few days.

    That is good that the smb access works, so one device can feed the network. I am always concerned that the providers will get overloaded and lock us out. There are a lot of Kodi users these days. :)
