Bug#681680: mediathekview: finds only 1376 out of 57537 movies
tags 681680 confirmed thanks Hello I reply to Armin's release critical bug report and also cc'ing the maintainer, past uploaders of mediathekview and Rhonda, who has offered help and advice with sponsoring requests [1], in the hope that we all can improve the current situation of mediathekview in Debian. First of all i'm not the maintainer but i would like to contribute and help with packaging. I've done some research and i've compared the actual version of mediathekview 3.0 with our current version in Debian. I have also opened a thread at the upstream support forum to gather advice how to deal with the situation. [2] One forum member pointed me to another thread where the main developer clearly stated that he does not intend to support two different versions of mediathekview. [3] Note: German is required. At the moment only version 3.0 supports a list with all available movies while you can only use a manual method in 2.4 to retrieve a fraction of the supported streams. It is unlikely that upstream will implement a feature to support the new lists of movies with the old 2.4 branch of mediathekview. In 3.0 the GUI has considerably changed and a lot of functions under the hood were rewritten and new features added. I think the delta is too big to grant a freeze exception but that's my personal opinion. All in all supporting version 2.4 in Wheezy would mean a lot of work for the maintainer and would be most likely futile because 2.4 is outdated and broken and won't be fixed by the upstream developers. Therefore i also recommend to remove Mediathekview 2.4 from Wheezy. I would like to work on Mediathekview 3.0 and reintroduce it in Jessie/Sid. At the moment my package compiles with the help of the Ant build system but it is not finished. Feedback and thoughts about Mediathekview in Debian are much appreciated. Kind regards Markus Koschany [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647843#10 [2] http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/zdfmediathk/viewtopic.php?f=1t=307 [3] http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/zdfmediathk/viewtopic.php?f=1t=247#p1135 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#681680: mediathekview: finds only 1376 out of 57537 movies
Package: mediathekview Version: 2.4.0-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, mediathekview has 2 ways to update its list of available movies. Normally it retrieves a file, which containes the list of all supported tv-stations. The user can also use the built-in functionality to gather the list of movies directly off the tv-stations' websites. Some time ago, the format of the update-file changed, so using the update-file method, mediathekview lists a total of 0 movies as available. The workaround, recommended by upstream on their site, is to use the direct info gathering method. But apparently the format of the websites changed enough that doing this yields a list with only 1376 movie entries. Many of the supported tv-stations show up in the list as having no movies at all available. Using upstreams current version, which can work with the update-file yields a list with 57537 movies. So the packaged version gives users access to less than 3% of what is really available. These numbers are from 2012-07-13, but during the past weeks I found them to be similar. Please remove the packaged version from Testing, if it cannot be upgraded to a working version before the release of Wheezy.
