Global BC / Global News - Not working #6

Closed chobo2 closed 11 years ago

chobo2 commented 11 years ago

Hi

I have version 0.7.8 and notice that from March 25th and on no news gets updated.

I tried

Global B.C Global National

Looking at their website it seems that the site looks newer. Maybe it broke the scraping code?

mariusmuja commented 11 years ago

Yes, if they updated the website the scraping code would not work without being updated as well. I'll have a look at this when I'll have some free time, thanks for reporting it.

chobo2 commented 11 years ago

Cool. Can you post an update here when you had time to fix the problem. I can't remember if I setup this plugin through fusionhub or not so I might not get the auto update.

chobo2 commented 11 years ago

have you had any time to look into this problem yet?

mariusmuja commented 11 years ago

No, I've been very busy the last couple of weeks. I should have more time starting next week.

chobo2 commented 11 years ago

No problem. I understand. Thanks

gordinvan commented 11 years ago

Can mariusmuja provide any links to writing Python scraper code? I would like to be able to fix a lot of other problems as well as this on.

mariusmuja commented 11 years ago

Probably the best way to learn would be to go through the source code and try to understand it. Also try to familiarize yourself with the BeautifulSoup library (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs3/documentation.html) as it is very useful in parsing html pages.

gordinvan commented 11 years ago

Thanks. There is little general information out there that could be found. Unfortunately I am incredibly busy on a coding project for some months to come myself but now I have somewhere to start.

Any luck on this issue?

arigit commented 11 years ago

just tried the latest code and the issue is still there, so no luck yet

chobo2 commented 11 years ago

That sucks.

marius-muja commented 11 years ago

Thanks @irfancharania for the fix.

chobo2 commented 11 years ago

Does the plugin auto update or will it be up on fusion?

irfancharania commented 11 years ago

I'm not sure what fusion is but this won't auto update. You'd need to download the master .zip file and either update the files manually or do an uninstall/install from zip (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-ons#How_to_install_from_a_ZIP_file)

chobo2 commented 11 years ago

Pretty much just a server that has all the zip files on it. I think it also can tell you when new versions are out
