#26 telemoustique site structure changed

[alexc72]

Hi,
I've been using your excellent grabber for a couple of
months now, everything was fine. But,
www.telemoustique.be has changed it's site structure
this week and the grabber doen't work anymore. I had a
look (with my basic html knowledge), and although the
frame layout is different. the "programs per channel"
pages used by the grabber don't seem to have changed,
so I'm was hoping you might be able to modify slightly
the existing code to make it work again.

Thanks in advance

Alex

I had a deeper look into this problem. So far, I found
several changes in the URL structure:

* The subdomain for the programme guide has been moved from
'www' to 'epg'
* an additional GET argument is required to access the
channel list. That argument is called 'UID' and appears to
be a 9 digit number. It is generated automatically by the
CMS system as a session tracker I guess and can be extracted
from an iframe in the container page:
http://www.telemoustique.be/Content/homepage/programmestl/parchane/index.jsp
To be fair, it seems that using any random 9 digit number
works just as fine (but would confuse their usage tracking
system...).
* The date format in the URL changed as well. It used to be
07/04/2005 (for US independance day) but now they only
accept 7/4/2005. I don't know how to apply that formatting
using the datetime2 module from pytvgrab though.

There may be some more changes but this is as far as I got.

den_RDC: are you planning on fixing these problems in the
near future?

Thanks,

JC

Hello
I already received a patch for the UID problem and i'll have a
look at the date problem tomorrow. I hope to have a new
release up by the end of the week (sorry i can't do it sooner, but
i recently had an accident and i am still recuperating from that).

Here is a fixed version of tv_grab_be_tlm (it's a dropin
replacement for v0.5.1). I could not find the error in the date
format for the details pages, everything seems to work just fine,
i double checked. If no other bugs creep up i'll relese this in the
following days on the website.
