garybuhrmaster commented 2 years ago

The tv_grab_eu_xmltvse grabber mostly just downloaded the data directly from the xmltv.se site. At one time, issues with their data feed were to be reported in their github repository, but I note that that has been archived and made read-only, and most of the web references to xmltv.se that do still resolve now redirect to their commercial site, and there was a comment from the developer about potentially shutting down the free service in one of the archived github issues about the data feed ".... but that depends on if I decide if I should keep doing the free variant of xmltv.se or not as it's not paying for my time". It is possible that the free service has been shutdown.

Perhaps you should ask about the status of the free data via their support email mailto:support@honeybee.it and if you get anything definitive, do reply here.

Hi, have exactly the same issue since yesterday or the day before yesterday. Before that date (on 12/5) it used to work.

Same issue I believe? https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/issues/152 Any update? Is the free service shut down?

jnylen commented 2 years ago

@wuppiwuppi yes, the free service is closed down for now. It might pop up later if I have the time to maintain that part.

But the time and cost to maintain the free service are what I can't support it with right now. I'm also considering open-sourcing the Vind project that handled all the imports and exports for that part for anyone to start their own variant.

I'm closing this here, @honir feel free to remove that source in a future version. If it pops back up it won't have the same structure as it has now so the tool will not work regardless.

Thanks @jnylen for the update - it's much appreciated.
