Cover fetch from google and amazon does not work anymore

[David Caro]

On a fresh ubuntu 9.10 install, when you try to fetch a cover from google or amazon you get no results, and a message that says "INFO listen.widget.cover.CoverWindow 0xa3dd3ec failed retrieve amazon or google image information" or "Perhaps Google page structure has changed".

Using listen 0.6.2 from ubutu repositories.

A 'fast and dirty' fix to the problem is to change these lines of /usr/lib/lkisten/widget/cover.py:

356 def on_search_google_cb(self,html_handler,page):
357
358 html = html_handler.read()
359 #js_images = re.findall('[,\[]\[".*?,"1",\[\],""\]',html, re.S)
360 js_images = re.findall('\[\"/imgres[^"]*",\"[^"]*",\"[^"]*",\"([^"]*)",\"[^"]*",\"[^"]*",\"([^"]*)",\"[^"]*",\"[^"]*",\"([^"]*)",',html, re.S)
361 if not js_images :
362 self.logwarn("Perhaps Google page structure has changed")
363 self.fail_fetch()
364 return
365
366 mid = len(js_images)/2
367 if page%2==0:
368 js_images = js_images[ : mid-1 ]
369 else:
370 js_images = js_images[ mid : ]
371
372 items = []
373 for jsimg in js_images:
374 info = jsimg[1]
375 url = str(jsimg[0])
376 title = jsimg[2]
377 #title = unicode(title,errors="ignore")
378 #title = re.sub("<.*?>","",title)
379 items.append((url, title , info))
380
381 self.populate(page,items)

At least lets you fetch google covers :)
