A patch to fix the problem was attached to the thread specified in the url field. I regenerated this patch so it can be used directly from an ebuild. It's a bit big though, about 50K.
Created attachment 59889 [details, diff] Fix for redesign of tvgids.nl
It may be better to just overwrite tv_grab_nl.in with the new version, because that is only about 45K.
Maurice, if you wanna maintain xmltv... I'd be more then happy.
Aren't you using xmltv yourself anymore? Because of all these location specific scripts, I think it would be best to have multiple maintainers who each use a different script. I'm hesitant to pick this up on my own. Besides, I don't know perl =]
Could you please check http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95166 and tell if it solves this issue? get the latest ebuild to try 0.5.41 , I'm not sure if the original xmltv package 0.5.41 already patch this, and if it doesn't someone should warn the xmltv project under sourceforge, don't you think?
I hope to get a chance to check it out some time next week. Upstream should be aware of the problem, because the issue was entered into their tracker (see URL field of this bug).
Should be solved with 0.5.43-r3 version bump.
solved in 0.5.43 and 0.5.44 xmltv ebuilds.
