#497 tv_grab_search_ch
since 2015-02-19 tv_grab_search_ch shows a graberror
See: http://www.crustynet.org.uk/~xmltv-tester/squeeze/release/
This is of a switch to a new layout.
A working fix is to change all strings with
tv.search.ch
to
tv.classic.search.ch
This will only work as long as the classic layout is offered.

thomas
thats correct.. i also changed that manually in /usr/bin/tv_grab_ch_search and mythfilldatabase (mythtv script to get channel data over xmltv) is working.. as long as search.ch hold the classic version ;)
Last edit: thomi_ch 2015-02-21
seams tv.classic.search.ch is no longer available... as you also see here: http://www.crustynet.org.uk/~xmltv-tester/squeeze/nightly/
what can we do? are there any plans?
A links to the devel mailing-list
https://sourceforge.net/p/xmltv/mailman/message/34753705/
I found this repo from Patric https://github.com/bhaak/XMLTV
I worked on the same issue and fixed some parts this morning on my fork (https://github.com/david-0/XMLTV).
The solution is partly working now. The channel selection is not implemented yet so only the programs of the default channels are grabed.
In the next hours/days, I expect a fully working solution.
Bye
David
@david thats nice.. many thanks for your work.. for all of dev's that are working on xmltv grabbers ;)..

@thomi
I have now tested the code successfully. The channel selection had already worked with Patric's code. So you can take the newest version of the file from my repo.

hey

any hint, why?
thanks
thomi
The current version 0.5.68 stopped selecting the channels in the config and download the default channels. This is due to https being used now and http being redirected. See https://github.com/bhaak/XMLTV/commit/34dd9b0feca714182530225980ce93d64cfd4d6e for the fix. I am currently using the version from that github repo.
Morning
I think, this happens, if you using original ubuntu repo, instead of mythbuntu/xmltv daily ppa.
I use this ppa, where its still correct:
https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/ubuntu/xmltv
Latest pacakge Update: 14.01.2017
xmltv version: 0.5.67
tv_grab_ch_search version: 1.22 2016/07/15 10:23:24 bhaak
For Ubuntu Yakkety is a newer version of xmltv packages available, where the code/urls for tv_grabch_search is wrong. Details from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmltv/0.5.68-1:
xmltv (0.5.68-1) unstable; urgency=medium
Uploaded: 17.08.2016 ????
tv_grab_ch_search version: 1.21 2016/04/13 10:09:36 bhaak ???
I think Ubuntu package team should work together with PPA teams.

That PPA may be working but it is a development PPA. 20 updates in the last month. Not sure I want xmltv updating all the time. Too many possiblities for it to break.
In any case there seems to be many people working on their own fork or fix for xmltv. Seems like someone should try and herd the cats in the same direction so the main project keeps up. Just my 2 cents.
