What is WebGrab+Plus

WebGrab+Plus is a generic webgrab tool that can grab tv listings from websites and create a xmltv file for it. This xmltv file can be fed to a PVR/EPG system to visualize the tv listing.
Because WebGrab+Plus itself is generic, it will need to know how to grab a specific website. This info is packed into siteini files. For every supported website, such a file will exist. On a website you have multiple tv channels. To know what channels are available for a specific siteini (website), you can look into the accompanying .channels.xml file. This file contains a list of channels that can be used. All those files can be found in the siteini.pack folder.
Currently WebGrab+Plus is only a command line tool. So no GUI (Graphic User Interface) is available.

A list of all features can be found on our website

How to use

  1. Find the config file (WebGrab++.config.xml) and open it with a simple text editor.
  2. Locate the dummy <channel> line at the end of the file
  3. Now look inside the siteini.pack folder and find the channels you want to grab (inside the .channels.xml files)
  4. Replace the dummy <channel> line with the channel(s) you want to grab
  5. Run WebGrab+Plus
  6. You should get a xmltv file called guide.xml file with the tv listings of your channels
  7. For more information about the configuration file, see on our website
