#99 new grabber for spanish audience: sincroniatv

[murrayf]

Hello,

I'd like xmltv people to add or substitute for older one a new grabber for Spain. I think SincroniaTV (http://www.sincroguia.tv/programacion.html) is a good choice, it has updated tv listings for upcoming days also and picks almost every channel spanish people can watch. I propose you that change because older grabbers has serious errors. miguiatv listings are not found using latest version of xmltv and freeguidetv, and some months ago didn't show all channels. The other grabber laguiatv, is reported to be slow and has a lack of tv channels too.
Thanks,
Alberto.

murrayf, I don't speak spanish. Does SincroniaTV offer an API with terms of use that allow us to get their guide feed for personal use?

Hello dekarl,

I was finding out about the new grabber possibilities without not very success, I explain you:

* SincroniaTV is a website developed by inouttv company (http://www.inouttv.com/value-proposition/services.html), but to my low understanding they offer you the possibility (after registration and get the API key) to develop apps for their products only, so maybe it's not the best try.

* Searching for tv listings providers with an API for personal use I found one provider which allows you "non-commercial and limited license", to try its API after registration, to get many public and private tv broadcasters schedule listings and related info. I don't fully understand if they give us unlimited use and grants to publish as a xmltv grabber. I post you the links:
- http://developer.rovicorp.com/page
- http://developer.rovicorp.com/terms

Thanks,

Alberto.

Unfortunately neither of those sites will allow us to add a grabber for them.

SincroniaTV prohibits screen scraping:

Queda terminantemente prohibido realizar, sin el previo consentimiento de QUANTUM cualquier manipulación o alteración de este web site.

Rovi prohibits use in a tv guide:

no Rovi Property may be used in conjunction with a television listings grid of any kind [...] without Rovi’s prior written authorization

Sorry :(

Hi again,

Thanks for giving me the info related to those services. I'm not well
informed about the current status of the xmltv spanish grabbers since
some months ago, but I have to update it to see if there is new
improvements...

I'm not sure if someone had yet reported the issue related to spanish
tv channels removed by goverment. Here they are:

• La Sexta 3.
• Nitro.
• La Siete.
• La Nueve.
• ... and one more I don't remember now...

Threre is also a tunning frequency change in Paramount Channel and
maybe others..

If it hasn't been reported yet, please update!

Thanks,

Alberto Segura.
