Can't call method "as_text" on an undefined value at /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_uk_guardian line 230.

1st Item In conf file always works
2nd Item onwards in conf file works if cached
nth Item but 2nd HTML grab causes this error

Ok line 230 is attempting to strip as example
More4 TV listings | TV and radio | The Guardian

To More4

But some titles have now
PA||BBC Two HD TV listings | TV and radio | The Guardian

Do not know what the PA|| is about, but it breaks the regex

My fix was to adjust the regex to
$channeltitle =~ m/^(PA||)?(.*)\sTV listings/ and $channeltitle = $2;

Although regex is not my thing and there maybe a better way, but for now seems to work.

Found another issue... if hit with a default Mythtv setup utilising the tv_grab_combiner

nice tv_grab_combiner --config-file '/home/jamesarbrown/.mythtv/FreeSat.xmltv' --output /tmp/mythOmMLzS --days 1 --offset 14

This will break

--offset 9 works which matches the 9 available days on the guardian web site

The script needs to be modified to ignore/tollerate a request for unavailable days?

Hi,
Thanks for the reports and the patch.
Fixed in v1.11 (in CVS).
