Bug 26515 – xmltv-0.5.14 broken (xmltv-0.5.14.ebuild).

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark Lopes 2003-08-12 18:56:01 UTC]

Due to changes in zap2it's website, xmltv's tv_grab_na is broken at the moment.
Mythtv's mythfilldatabase won't work as a result. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1) Run mythfilldatabase

which outputs:
----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- 
 using config file /root/.mythtv/Rogers Cable.xmltv 
 
 checking provider information for postal/zip code L4Y4A7, be patient.. 
 double checking channel information, be patient.. 
 zap2it failed to give us a page: 500:Internal Server Error 
 check postal/zip code or www site (maybe they're down) 
 failed 1 times, will retry after 30 seconds.. 
 

A small patch is required to get it working again. I'm attaching the patch and a
modified ebuild that fixes the problem.
