G'day all,

Radiotimes has added a disclaimer note at the top of every file.
This is causing problems and I have a bout 7 days of EPG left.

I am testing a fix at the moment.
If you want a quick fix..
at about line 209
Code:
vi /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt
$XMLTV::Get_nice::Delay = 0; # since this is intended for grabbing
my $channel_list_uri = 'http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/channels.dat';
my $channel_list_uri = 'http://localhost//channels.dat';


Don't forget to undo the change to the file or you will never get new channels, that might not be such a bad thing really!

Then do...
Code:
cd /var/www
wget http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/channels.dat


This will give you a local copy of the file that you can edit, take the top two lines off.
mythfilldatabase will still complain but at least it will fill the EPG again.

The above tip didn't work. The actual entry in my /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt was

my $rt_channels_uri = 'http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/channels.dat';

so I put a hash in front of the above line, and put the following in :

my $rt_channels_uri = 'http://localhost//channels.dat';

After wget'ting the channels.dat, and editing out the 2 nasty lines tried a mythfilldatabase, and it didn't work.

Still not working, with or without the tip above, any ideas anyone ???

...and after 90 minutes of trying to log in and creating a new account!!!!!!

I've botched up a fix into the tv_grab_uk_rt file.

my (%channels, %seen_rt_id, %seen_name);
substr($channel_list, 0, 307) = "";
foreach (split /\n/, $channel_list) {

It's that substr that fixes it, it replaces the first 307 characters of the channels.dat file with a null "" so that it doesnt try to split on a line thats basically junk.

mythfilldatabase will still throw issues since the channel info has this silly disclaimer too but the script will populate the database.

Enjoy all!

Cheers

Edz

Hi there

Well done, good fix. But whereabouts in the /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt should the fix go ?? Top, middle, bottom ???

... and that children is why you should never update a thread when you've been up over 15 hours ;)

Sorry guys, it was a long day yesterday...

You want to edit /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt

Lines (in my version) are

193: my (%channels, %seen_rt_id, %seen_name);
194: substr($channel_list, 0, 307) = "";
195: foreach (split /\n/, $channel_list) {

The line in bold is the new one.

Cheers

Hi again

The lines 193 & 195 mentioned above bear no relevance to my /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt script.

Please advise which version of my knoppmyth & mythtv fixes you are running, you can see all of the versions from Knoppmyth menu, version option.

Hi there,

that's odd... i'm on knoppmyth r5f1

The code is

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl  -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
    if 0; # not running under some shell
=pod

=head1 NAME

tv_grab_uk_rt - Grab TV listings for Britain and Ireland

=head1 SYNOPSIS

tv_grab_uk_rt --help

tv_grab_uk_rt [--config-file FILE] --configure [--gui OPTION]

tv_grab_uk_rt [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--quiet]
              [--days N] [--offset N]
              [--list-channels]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Output TV and radio listings in XMLTV format for many stations
available in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.  The data
comes from a machine-readable file produced by the Radio Times
website.

=head1 USAGE

First you must run B<tv_grab_uk_rt --configure> to choose which stations you
want to receive.  Then running B<tv_grab_uk_rt> with no arguments will get
about a fortnightE<39>s listings for the stations you chose.

B<--configure> Prompt for which stations to download and write the
configuration file.

B<--gui OPTION> Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used.
OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice.
Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal output
(default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of Term::ProgressBar.

B<--config-file FILE> Set the name of the configuration file, the default is
B<~/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf>.  This is the file written by B<--configure> and
read when grabbing.

B<--output FILE> When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than standard
output.

B<--quiet> Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.

B<--days N> When grabbing, grab N days of data instead of all available.

B<--offset N> Start grabbing at today + N days.

B<--list-channels> List channels.

B<--version> Show the version of the grabber.

B<--help> Print a help message and exit.

Note that tv_grab_uk_rt always downloads data for all days and then filters
out the days specified with --days and --offset. It is therefore more
efficient to omit --days and --offset and use all the returned data.

Hi

the only reason I havent updated to 5.5 is the WAF of ripping out something that works! :)

Can you post the code for 5.5 and I'll take a look?

Cheers

Edz

Wingnut/Edz,

the tv_grab_uk_rt file for r5.5 is 1356 lines long, so I dont think it's appropriate to post it here.

Please email me on the address below and I will tgz it up and email it to you, for you to check it out, if you would be so kind....

The XMLTV in R6 is the latest. Perhaps someone could step up and test R6...

OK, sorted this out. Checked out the mythtv users list, and it said that version 0.5.52+ of xmltv sorted out this issue. The version of xmltv on my stock r5.5 was 0.5.51-2 (displayed by a dpkg -l xmltv)

To update I did (logged in as root)

apt-get update

apt-get install xmltv

This updated to xmltv 0.5.54-1. Ran mythfilldatabase logged in as mythtv, and it went through OK, with a report that the config file is an old version, and my program guide is back to its excellent 14-dayness !!!!

Cesman, does r6 contain the latest xmltv ????
