Alan, I am sorry to say, but after all these surprises after each build, I had an exe-file wich crashed. All the way down I discovered too many units not available at buiding-time. Had to find out the names of that units, downloading, building(again surprises) and setting paths. I have now to quit t...

The Reelbox itself makes direct contact with Bleb.org and reads in the files needed according to my channellist. The XEPG-plugin uses a different format. I have no sourcecode of this plugin and no Linux-system to compile with. This has nothing to do with lua-scripts, because it is a stanalone plugin...

It seems I did delete a block, wich is exactly the procedure 'TLuaGrabbers.webWork'.

Now in Runutils, there is a "uses shwmsg", wich is not in the source and not in the SVN-directory.

By changing shwmsg to "dialogs", this was compiling good.

After a couple of years spending my time at programming in assembly on microcontrollers (= work), I would like to pickup again programming in Delphi 7 (= home). My tuner Reelbox Lite could use the Bleb EPG directly, but since changing to daylightsavings, all timestamps are one hour off time in Centr...

Alan: thank you for your answers! Glad to see I am not the only one to get things running. I will ask you again: putting the lot together in a zip-file would make experimenting a lot easier: your source-files, fundamentals-files and Indy for a certain compiler would have saved me a lot of time, almo...

Alan, the lg.doprogress is solved: I think the compiler makes wrong assumptions because of the type mismatch integer and int64 in webwork and webworkbegin ? But why was the int64 not used in the first place? The IFDEF FPC gave the wrong definition, because I am using Delph7 and not Lazarus or FPC Su...

Alan: even changing this, there is the next error: in uluagrabbers.pas, 2 times a call to doprogress, wich is a undeclared identifier. Changing in lg.doprogress solves the problem.

Question: what is going on? I think, no one can compile this.

BTW: Are you using a Linux or Windwos-system?

After downloading, compiling and set directorys, it did not compile the XMTLGUI successfully. It showed, that the Indy-version in the Delphi7-installer, was the wrong version. After hours of uninstalling Indy9 and trying to compile the new Indy10-units (came from the latest SVN with wrong subunits (...

Alan, By uninstalling an older version 3, and removing all sourcefile-directorys, I started again by installing version 3.11.01 for Windows, including the sourcefiles. After that, I got during a rebuild (at least) the next missing files, generating errors: 1. vcl_clx_forms.inc 2. vcl_clx.inc 3. llty...

If you zipped the sourcefiles, ALL files will be present, including the directory tree. If one only is interested in the exe-file, there would be no use for included sourcefiles. On the other hand: if one likes to see/experiment with the source, one knows he deals with the complete package, download...

I found a file called VCL_CLX.inc in the SVN, did rename it to VCL_CLX_forms.inc. So far so good. Because it is a couple of years since I Used Delphi (7) (done a lot of microcontroller-assembly), I have to get used with Delphi again. For example: it uses a unit wich is not available as .dcu at that ...

When I rebuild with the sources delivered with the program (=GREAT!!!!), I got 2 errors:

1. it does not find VCL_CLX_Forms.inc. Looked in your SVN and with Google: no results

2. It did not find cXMLFunctions.pas (found it in the SVN later, is OK now)

Can you help me with the first point?

Regards
