Bug Description

Binary package hint: xmltv

Hello,
since the website design from tvtoday.de changed the tv_grab_de_tvdoday grabber no longer works correctly.

See also:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=417077

A fix seems to be available upstream:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tv.xmltv.general/2114

I'm running latest feisty packages.

Thanks and regards,
Tobias Knieper

This seems also to break the OnTV gnome applet for german users.

I can confirm that the grabber for tv_grab_de is not working the error is:

Can't call method "content_list" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/tv_grab_de_tvtoday line 1277.

Running latest feisty packages too.

Thanks
Amr

Now there is an updated package available at debian. (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=417077 - changelog: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xmltv/xmltv_0.5.45-3/changelog )

It would be very kind if you merge your package and don't let us wait any longer.

Thanks,
Tobias

Sorry, but tv_grab_de_tvtoday was removed upstream:

2007-06-27 02:18 rmeden

        * MANIFEST, Makefile.PL: remove de_tvtoday and _de due to strict
          German copyright laws

This basically means the next upload to Ubuntu gutsy will not have an XMLTV grabber for Germany.

I'm currently working on a grabber for another data source (www.epgdata.com), but you'll have to pay for the data. There's also tv_grab_de_prisma but it's not included in the XMLTV distribution.

Setting to invalid since tv_grab_de_tvtoday was removed upstream for legal reasons.
