Hi Wooderson,

have a look in C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare, I think you will find that the .exe is in a version subfolder, like C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.0.

It works here with:
START /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.0" /MIN /WAIT WebGrab+Plus.exe

Thank you. I did have the wrong folder name, was missing the V.1.1.0. It's still not running properly though. As I said before, when I run the command, the command prompt screen only flashes for a split second and doesn't give me time to read it, so that makes it hard to determine what the issue is. What I am able to see is that it's adding some weird symbol that looks sort of like a "pi" sign before the start command.

It says: 'n╥START' is not recognized as in internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I don't have anything before START in the file. It reads:

START /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.0" /MIN /WAIT WebGrab+Plus.exe
COPY "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab|EPG.xml" "C:\ProgramData\ARGUS TV\XMLTV\EPG.xml"

I think the copy command is executing properly, the last line I read says "1 file copied."

You can try adding a PAUSE after each line, that way you can view on the console what happened with the line before.

START /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\ServerCare\WebGrab+PlusV1.1.0" /MIN /WAIT WebGrab+Plus.exe
PAUSE
COPY "C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab|EPG.xml" "C:\ProgramData\ARGUS TV\XMLTV\EPG.xml"
PAUSE

Also are you sure you're running the command as administrator? It's all explained in one of my previous posts.

Yes, running as administrator. I was following the directions you posted earlier in this thread. I also tried just clicking on it without running as admin just to see if anything different happened - it didn't. I also deleted that command file entirely and started over again with a fresh file, just to see if that changed anything. Again, it didn't.

New Version of WebGrab+Plus V1.1.1

Post by WGMaker » Tue Aug 28, 2012 8:47 am

New Version of WebGrab+Plus V1.1.1

This version adds a few major features:

1. Another postprocessor REX (Reallocate and Edit Xmltv) that can
- Move the content of xmltv elements to other xmltv elements
- Merge the content of several xmltv elements
- Add comments/prefi/postfix text
- Remove or create xmltv elements
E.g. If the PVR software do not recognize some of the xmltv elements grabbed (like actors) it can add
these to the description and remove the now useless actor xmltv element.

2. Improved MDB postprocessor (automatically adds IMDB data to your xmltv file)

3. Added support for LINUX (in combination with MONO) and tested in W8

4. A command line parameter that specifies and overrules the default homefolder-path of the program for
user that prefer another location of it.

5. Support for sites that use the POST HttpWebRequest method, further extending the range of websites.

6. The installation packages contain ini files for 126 TvGuide websites in about 60 countries worldwide!!

... and , on top of that, many small improvements and bugs fixed as usual.

Thanks for the update, got it installed tonight. I wanted to return to the problem I posted about a few weeks ago where my automatic update CMD is not running properly. I'm attaching a screen shot showing the error message and my script to see if anybody has any suggestions about what my problem is. Thanks in advance for looking.

Hi,

there must be something before start. Try this:

delete the word start.
save , and make sure to set the encoding to utf8 before you do.
open it again and add the word start
save

Tried it, problem is still there. I don't know what that symbol is before startor how it gets there, but it's there.

If I try to run it without the word start, I get that same error message, it just says [symbols] is not recognized instead if saying [symbols]START is not recognized.

I'm completely baffled by this. I just tried creating a completely unrelated cmd, just a simple script to launch the calculator saved in a completely different location. I get the same error with the same weird symbols before START. It looks to me like my machine has some sort of problem creating a cmd file. I appreciate your help, but it appears my issue isn't related to your program.

Well it looks like it had something to do with the encoding. I changed the encoding on the cmd file from UTF-8 to ANSI and now it runs the program without any problems.
