Re: [mythtv-users] [Australian Program Guide Listings - FoxtelMissing]

[Matthew Phillips]

They seem to be grabbing the info from http://www.yourtv.com.au/guide/,  
which *does* have data for Friday.

Unfortunately this site seems to use POST's or cookies to handle  
navigation, making it trickier to write a grabber.

to making a redundant multi-source grabber using ninemsn, ebroadcast,  
d1 and
whatever else we can put together...

I'm not using this script, so...
The variable $#pidsrowspansnames just mean (in Perl) "the number of
elements
in the array $pidsrowspansnames", so you need to look at the previous  
bit
of
code which sets the $pidsrowspansnames variable, possibly a subroutine
returning undefined/null. Probably an error condition relating to the  
lack
of data everyone is experiencing *again*.

When I look at this line, there is the following...
print PRN "$pidsrowspansnames[$#pidsrowspansnames]";
It is the $#pidsrowspanames variable.  I don't know perl, but there
has been no changes to this script.  Anyone tell me what I should do
to this?
FYI:  The rest of the code around that area...
if (open(PRN, ">", $guide_prn_file))
{
for (my $count=0; $count<$#pidsrowspansnames; $count++)
{
print PRN "$pidsrowspansnames[$count]>";
}
print PRN "$pidsrowspansnames[$#pidsrowspansnames]";
close(PRN);
}
else
{
print "can't open for writing $guide_prn_file\n";
}

Hmmm,
Interestingly enough I only have till Thursday for Adelaide also.
I wonder if its just a temporary problem with ninemsn - they may fix
it?
After having a look around at other possible sources, it looks like  
the
foxtel site is out - they have 1 months worth of data for foxtel,  
but
if you
look at the source for the pages with the info, it looks like  
someone
has
designed it specifically to stop people harvesting the data (its
encoded
somehow?).
However it looks like someone has written some scripts for Windoze
Media
Centre 2005 which strips the data from here :
http://www.ebroadcast.com.au
http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/cgi-
bin/TV/grid?date=Saturday_19_March&TVperiod=
Night&state=Adelaide&fta=0&fox=1&opt=0&lk=sofcom
I dont suppose one of those wonderful people who wrote our last data
harvest
script could have a look at this?

I only have four days of data left on free to air, Brisbane.  I  
think
ninemsn have gotten wise to something.

I would like some more data please :P
