tv_grab_fr --slow : Can't call method "look_down" on an undefined value

melall commented 2 years ago

XMLTV Version?

1.1.2

XMLTV Component?

tv_grab_fr

Perl Version

perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4)

Operating System

MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

What happened?

$ tv_grab_fr --days 1 --slow --output ~/.xmltv/fr-tv-listings-slow.xml Getting listings...: Can't call method "look_down" on an undefined value at /opt/local/bin/tv_grab_fr line 637.

What did you expect to happen?

no error.

Did you see any warnings/errors?

Can't call method "look_down" on an undefined value at /opt/local/bin/tv_grab_fr line 637

What steps are needed to reproduce this issue?

$ tv_grab_fr --configure
# choose bouquet = 5/Free, select all channels, or a few of them
$ tv_grab_fr --days 1 --slow

Please attach your config file below:

tv_grab_fr.conf.txt

Any other information?

Work perfectly without --slow. If I look to the end of the generated file I have:

 <channel id="tv5mondefbs.telestar.fr">
    <display-name lang="fr">TV5 MONDE FBS</display-name>

Which is the last channel in my configuration. This suggest we cannot grab the first program. With another configuration with all channels I get the same error. I removed the cache folder, tried again and got the same problem.

This is due to an error on the source website TéléStar. Some of their own links point to pages which return a "missing page" error (code 404 or 410).

See for example: National Geographic channel for tonight. Clicking on "Air crash" S0E2 (21:50) gives a detail page. But clicking on "Air crash" S11E3 (22:40) returns a page-not-found error.

Perhaps you might like to report these "broken links" to TéléStar?

I've fixed tv_grab_fr (on github) so that it runs to completion, but note that data will be missing for any TV programmes which return 404/410

Please give it a try and let me know if it fixes your issue.

Hello,

Thank you for the fix. It took some time for me to update just this resource in my macports installation, but now it run upon completion successfully.

I didn't check the results yet, I may report missing links to telestatrafterwards.

Best regards, -- Maurice.
