vivo.com.br siteini stops grabbing after ~4 days — clarotvmais.com.br returns “no shows in indexpage!” for most channels

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing two persistent issues with the current Brazilian siteinis (WebGrab+Plus 3.4.2 + REX) and would appreciate any insight or updated revisions.

1. vivo.com.br
   I’m currently facing a recurring issue with the vivo.com.br siteini (latest revision 04, encrypted V3) when trying to grab more than 5 days of EPG.
   As soon as the timespan is set to 6 days or higher, the grabber processes the first ~5 days correctly (around 110–120 programmes per channel) and then fails with the following error:

textGroup (0) :
update requested for - 2 - out of - 2 - channels for 7 day(s)
( 1/2 ) VIVO.COM.BR -- chan. (xmltv_id=SBT HD) -- mode Incremental
iiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Unable to update channel SBT HD
Generic syntax exception:
   message:
Current culture: en-GB
time parsing error : String '' was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
nextstartdatetime time scrubbed :
computer date/time format: 13/11/2025 09:13:04
Existing guide data restored!

This happens consistently on every channel from vivo.com.br once the parser tries to go beyond day 5.
With timespan ≤ 5 everything works perfectly; from day 6 onwards the detail page apparently returns an empty or malformed date string that cannot be parsed, causing the entire channel update to abort and revert to the previously cached data.

2. clarotvmais.com.br
   Even with a short timespan (1–2 days), the vast majority of channels return “no shows in indexpage!” despite being properly listed and recognized in the index phase. This affects dozens of channels and renders the EPG almost unusable for this source.

Has anyone managed to overcome these limitations recently? Specifically:

• Is there a workaround or updated vivo.com.br revision that successfully grabs more than 4 days?
• For clarotvmais.com.br, is there a working siteini revision (or special config setting) that actually extracts programmes for most channels?

Any help, updated .ini files, or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
