Re: tv_grab_tvtoday_de (xmlTV Grabber for German Prog Info): msg#00139

Subject: Re: tv_grab_tvtoday_de (xmlTV Grabber for German Prog Info)
Hi Stefan,

did you see my grabber for TV Movie? <http://www.bucksch.org/1/projects/various/xmltv>

Its TV Movie -> XMLTV conversion (implemented in XSLT) is mostly adequate (apart from timezones and a few minor conformity glitches), basically all of the data is used as well as possible, and most of the tricky umlaut-problems with the malformed (!) TV Movie XML source are solved by the Python script, yet the Python script is horribly implemented and needs a rewrite and maintainer. I already asked on this list for a new maintainer, see my post a few weeks ago.

Would you like to take over my grabber? Please let me know, if you need help with it.

Thanks,

Ben

information out of it.

unfortunately it doesn't yet
- handle timezones
- fully parse the description fields (in short strategy mode),
  i.e. it doesn't extract actor/director information
- show progress information

it's just that I like you to simply try it out and tell me
'bout your suggestions, patches, whatever ...
