Description Horst Schirmeier 2007-04-09 18:57:44 UTC

Configuring fails:

$ /usr/bin/tv_grab_de_tvtoday --configure
using config filename /home/bigfoot/.xmltv/tv_grab_de_tvtoday.conf
getting list of channels: Can't call method "content_list" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/tv_grab_de_tvtoday line 1277.

Grabbing with an old config file fails as well -- the www.tvtoday.de people (again) changed their website layout.

The current CVS version of tv_grab_de_tvtoday[1] works fine; the diff to the 0.5.45 release version is 1.5 times bigger than grab/de_tvtoday/tv_grab_de_tvtoday.in itself, so I suggest including [1] itself in the ebuild's files/ directory until upstream makes a new release.

I have some issue including 30+ kilobytes of grabber in the portage files. 
As in xmltv mailing list they're talking about a new release from 6-7 march,
I would wait some other days for a new release.

tv_today has been deleted in the devel Version of xmltv. The reason was legal issues. So a update wont fix this bug, because xmltv has in this time no grabber for germany.
But I think this is a Problem of upstream ...

Marked Upstream because there's no "Legal Issue" choiche, so
upstream is german law in this bug...
