EPG not updating, unknown label reference or genre category #56

Closed squirtbrnr closed 7 months ago

squirtbrnr commented 7 months ago

I'm getting an error that is causing EPG to not be updated. This repo looks abandoned, but I'm hoping someone can help fix it. It looks like there's a new label or category in the EPG data titled "Documentary" and it's causing the EPG parser to fail. Here's the error in my tvheadend logs:

[  ERROR] xmltv: /usr/bin/tv_grab_zap2epg: htsmsg_xml_deserialize error Unknown label referense: "& literature</category>   <category lang="en">Documentary</category>  </p
[WARNING] xmltv: /usr/bin/tv_grab_zap2epg: grab returned no data

It seems this issue may be an unhandled genre category, but not sure if it's "literature" or "Documentary" as the error lists both.

fixed it by properly escaping html "&". this can be done a couple ways, either html.escape(genre, quote=True) or re.sub('&', '&amp;', genre). But the answer is there was an unhandled character causing issues.
