|
|
IMPORTANT!!!!
|
|
|
|
Unlike the mobile site that only need a cookie file to create a channels.xml list the full site needs a cookie file to grab epg data also.
|
|
This means that if you create a channels.xml list for multiple countries you will only be able to grab epg data for the country that the cookie file is created for.
|
|
|
|
To get around this..
|
|
|
|
1. Make a copy of the ini file and name it something different.I suggest add the country name.example for nigeria..dstv.com_ng.ini
|
|
2. Create a cookie file as described above but give it a unique name also,example...dstv.com_ng.cookies.txt
|
|
3. Open the ini file and on the site {...} line change the cookie filename to match the unique name you gave it above,example...loadcookie=dstv.com_ng.cookies.txt
|
|
4. Creat your channels.xml as outlined above.when you are done the resulting list site_id="xxx" will have the ini filename that you gave it in step 1.example site_id="dstv.com_ng"
|
|
5. Your finished.This will allow multiple countries to be used as each will have their own ini and cookie file.
