Support Requests item #941557, was opened at 2004-04-25 00:27 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by epaepa You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=424136&aid=941557&group_id=39046 Category: tv_grab_na Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: anda (andad) Assigned to: Ed Avis (epaepa) Summary: Won't Grab UK channels Initial Comment: I'm using the last update but it doesn't appear to grab UK channels. I'm using the command: xmltv.exe tv_grab_uk_rt >listings.xml It reports some kind of error when trying to access radiotimes.com and there is nothing in the listings folder. Am I doing something wrong? What can be done to remedy it? Screenshifter is useless for the UK without it and I've already shelled out for the licence!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Ed Avis (epaepa) Date: 2004-05-30 18:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=10769 dazigster: please try one of the other grabbers, for example tv_grab_fi, to establish whether there is a general problem downloading pages or something to do with this particular grabber. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: zigster (dazigster) Date: 2004-05-30 17:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1053029 sorry, I should add thats using the latest package xmltv- 0.5.34-win32.zip ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: zigster (dazigster) Date: 2004-05-30 17:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1053029 I can confirm this, on win32: When you try to configure the uk tv profile, you get the following: C:\Program Files\xmltv>xmltv.exe tv_grab_uk_rt --configure Timezone is +0100 adding '--share=C:/Program Files/xmltv/share/xmltv' using config filename ./.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf finding channels: could not get channels page http://www.radiotimes.com/PersonalisationServlet? vent=3&channelType=1&includeUnchosenChannels=true&jspLo cation=/jsp/select_channels.jsp&rtError=/jsp/error.jsp&jspError =/jsp/register.jsp&next_page=tv_select - aborting If you look at that url in a browser, you get a registration request form. If you register and return to the same URL, you get a HTTP 500 error. Basically it looks like RT have blocked you scraping results... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ed Avis (epaepa) Date: 2004-05-08 18:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=10769 samuelpenn: if you have problems with the Gentoo package, and it is very different from the current xmltv release (for example, being version 0.5.23 instead of 0.5.33), then you should report bugs to the Gentoo packager, not here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Samuel Penn (samuelpenn) Date: 2004-05-07 20:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=976339 I'm using 0.5.23, which is the latest version packaged for Gentoo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ed Avis (epaepa) Date: 2004-05-07 19:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=10769 samuelpenn: Are you sure you're using the latest version? tv_grab_uk was removed from the distribution for the very reason you saw. I think you should wait for 0.5.33 to come out, and if you then have problems with that file a new bug report. anda: any response to my question earlier? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Samuel Penn (samuelpenn) Date: 2004-05-07 16:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=976339 As an update, I've tried to download German TV listings, and these work fine, so it's just UK listings that are broken. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Samuel Penn (samuelpenn) Date: 2004-05-07 16:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=976339 I have just tried downloading and using xmltv on Linux, and I'm having the same problem with UK tv listings: sam@thor sam $ tv_grab_uk --configure Parameterless "use IO" deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/XML/Writer.pm line 16 using config filename /home/sam/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk.conf Going to configure channels to download, please wait getting list of channels: ################################################## http://www.ananova.com/tv_listings/_xmltv.php?show[]=allchannels: bad channels page content at /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk line 921. If I go to the ananova page, it says that "Sorry, but Ananova is no longer able to bring you TV listings.", so it looks like Ananova has discontinued their service. If I use tv_grab_uk_rt, then it asks me whether I want to proceed with the configuration, then gives an error: "finding channels: cannot find channel string in HTML" and then an HTML string which seems to be mostly javascript. This error is at /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt line 1211, <STDIN> line 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ed Avis (epaepa) Date: 2004-05-02 11:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=10769 Included in the error message is a URL. Are you able to view the URL in a web browser such as lynx? Have you tried some of the other grabbers in the xmltv distribution such as tv_grab_fi? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-05-01 15:17 Message: Logged In: NO C:\Program Files\XMLTV>xmltv tv_grab_uk_rt --configure Timezone is +0100 adding '--share=C:/Program Files/XMLTV/share/xmltv' using config filename ./.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf finding channels: could not get channels page http://www.radiotimes.com/Pe rsonalisationServlet? event=3&channelType=1&includeUnchosenChannels=true&jspL ocat ion=/jsp/select_channels.jsp&rtError=/jsp/error.jsp&jspError=/j sp/register.jsp&n ext_page=tv_select - aborting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ed Avis (epaepa) Date: 2004-04-26 12:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=10769 Please give the exact error message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=424136&aid=941557&group_id=39046 |
