Downloading tv listings fails

[Frode Haugsgjerd]

Binary package hint: xmltv

Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10
libxmltv-perl 0.5.49-1ubuntu
ontv 2.8.0-0ubuntu1
freeguide 0.10.4-2

Both freeguide and ontv fails to download listings.
I believe the problem is in xmltv

ontv reports this error:

using config filename /home/user/.xmltv/tv_grab_no.conf
fetching channel names
no 'id' attribute in channel at /usr/share/perl5/XMLTV.pm line 2309.

freeguide doesn't seem to report anny useful errror message, it just sits there.

 My config:

cat .xmltv/tv_grab_no.conf|grep -v ^#
channel 1
channel 112
channel 2
channel 3
channel 5

I see the same thing, also with tv_grab_no, perhaps there is actually bug there?

Can you please see if this is present on the latest Xmltv release in hardy?

Actually scratch that. Look at the changelog for the latest version. Not gonna fix it:

   tv_grab_es_miguiatv: new grapper for Spain

Removed
   tv_grab_nl,tv_grab_nc,tv_grab_no (use tv_grab_no_gfeed)

Updates:
   XMLTV.pm: add Programme->Video->Quality attribute
   IMDB.pm: misc fixes
   tv_grab_br_net: adapted for changes on the grabbed website
   tv_grab_eu_epgdata : add "people" and "series id" tags
   tv_grab_es_laguiatv: Fix for site changes
   tv_grab_fi: misc fixes for site changes
   tv_grab_fr: update for site changes
   tv_grab_it: add new data source and speed improvment

   tv_grab_uk_rt
      add title/subtitle processing for consistant programme info,

And of course bugfixes and polish.
