Post subject:  UK Grabber not working?
Is anyone else having problems with the UK RT XMLTV not working? There appeared to be a problem with the Radio Times site being down for a while, but for the last few days it appears to be back up, but the grabber is not working.
The following message from the MythWeb backend status screen:
Code:
Last mythfilldatabase run started on 2007-04-03 06:08 and ended on 2007-04-03 06:08. mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert any new data into the Guide. This can indicate a potential grabber failure.
 There's guide data until 2007-04-11 06:00 (8 days).

The data files aren't being updated on the RT site so there is only data available upto the 10th April.

From what I've been hearing on the MythTV users list it sounds like it will only be a temporary problem that will be fixed when the right people have returned from holiday :roll:

Yeah its not up to date ....

run the following command
Code:
wget -q http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/92.dat -O - | perl -ne '@f=split/~/;print "$f[0],$f[19] $f[20]\n";' | tail -1

shows that the latest listing for BBC1 is currently


Cricket World Cup Highlights,10/04/2007 23:15
which is only 7 days away

I'm wondering if they've dropped the XMLTV feed, according to this post, Radio Times is now using Microformats.

No further updates last night.

Last mythfilldatabase run started on 2007-04-07 02:00 and ended on 2007-04-07 02:02. mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert any new data into the Guide. This can indicate a potential grabber failure.
There's guide data until 2007-04-19 01:55 (12 days).

May need to keep nudging Radio Times.

I think something must have happened late on last night, as I seemed to be having problems in differences between 2 Video Sources, so I had to run mythfilldatabase manually a couple of times.
