I've been using WebGrabPlus V3.3 in Windows 10 and everything works fine.
When I upgraded to v 5.3, I lost "Production Year" in my EPG? The REX file posted below lists production year in ver 3.3, but does not work in ver 5.3. I read through the installation instructions for ver. 5+ but not sure how to adapt the changes regarding production year. Any help will be much appreciated.

I checked and you are correct, something is wrong, will notify Jan
That problem is caused by missing separators. Version 5.x.x use a so called 'section separator' . That is the separator between the elements to expand in the rex config line . In the example that are 'description' and 'productiondate' . The section separator is in most cases the separator used for the first element, here 'description' . But because there is no separator specified, the default | is used. That is the reason why production date will be expanded in a new description element.
The easiest way to solve this is to add 'dummy' separators () .. (or any other separator value) :
{'description()'}{\n\t¤ YEAR: 'productiondate()'. }
Note: Also a separator is needed for the second element 'productiondate' .
In general it is recommended to add a 'dummy' separator always for each element even if no separator is needed. Without it, the default | is created by the program.
So this has nothing to do with a missing 'productiondate'
If I have time I will add the full section separator issue to the documented rex config or the AP-line.examples.text
Thank you for the helpful information!!
Problem solved :-)
One last question, how do I change the the 24 hour pull data parameter? In other words, Say I pull guide data for one day. I start pulling at 10 pm Eastern, it will end the next day at 7 pm Eastern. How to I make the 24 hour pull to end at 10 pm Eastern the next day? ( I used to know the answer, but I forgot.)
Thanks
May be allowlastdayoverflow in site line?
Which siteini are you referring to. Or are you making one yourself ? In that case , upload it. Anyhow , this is normally solved in the siteini.
International (TV Guide) and UK (Sky.com). That's it.
Not a big deal. I'm just trying to learn. Thanks
MAT8861 gave the correct answer. You can check if the siteini's you mentioned have that setting. It should be in the last line that is not encrypted starting with 'site { -- }
Thank you to MAT8861, and WGMaker. That worked. (I won't forget again :-) Thanks for the quick responses. I appreciate it.
