I try to grab tv data from epgdata.com using the tv_grab_eu_epgdata-grabber of the xmltv-package. No results in the xml-files, with stable or unstable. Same PIN works from within ubuntu-vm here. Thread describing this at: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/394654 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xmltv 2.tv_grab_eu_epgdata --configure (enter PIN here, timezone,...) 3.tv_grab_eu_epgdata --days 3 --output epg-data.xml Actual Results: epg-data.xml only contains a header, no program data. Expected Results: epg-data.xml should contain xml-program-data for the next 3 days. Tried stable (0.5.50) and unstable (0.5.53, 0.5.55, even my own ebuild 0.5.56), in those packages the grabber-script itself is ver.1.30 Cross-checked from within a fresh ubuntu 9.04 installation, there the version info is: $ tv_grab_eu_epgdata --version XMLTV module version 0.5.53 This is tv_grab_eu_epgdata version 1.26, 2008/08/30 21:28:30 It works fine there! Maybe I should try to copy the older grabber 1.26 and try again?

I don't have a subscription to eu_epg so I can't help much, sorry. However there's plenty of that error online, it looks like an error of Archive-Zip (for example I've read it shows if you try to use Archive-Zip to extract a gzip file).

Checking this via browser gave the same result. Ok, I don't really NEED 14 days ahead if pulling data daily works reliably ... I will continue testing with something like --days 7 or so. Thanks, Stefan
Got no test-key, and seems that the issue is in the provider, so invalid seems adequate resolution.
