[Xmltv-devel] dtv_la grabber

[Lester Bar]

I am attempting to get the directv grabber for Latin America to work,
actually at present I am focusing on the Caribbean portion.

What I have found thus far:

· The site seems to know longer function by passing the country
code, as a few years ago, and the option to get channel detail has changed.
There is now a Caribbean link *
http://programacion.directvcaribbean.com/guia.aspx*

· In obtaining the channel detail page, we now have to change from
guia.aspx to eg. ChannelDetail.aspx?id=176&fav=false.

Even with these changes, I am still not getting any data. I manually going
to the site, I realize if you use the link to get details
http://programacion.directvcaribbean.com/ChannelDetail.aspx?id=176&fav=falseit
directs you to the default page listed above, on a next attempt, it
goes
to the channel detail page.


I have tried getting the above page first, take the redirect and then the
subsequent loops in sub program get_channel_programs, should go to the
ChannelDetail page, but no luck thus far.


Any pointers, this is a crash course for me, as have attempted to learn perl
just for this, and my understand of processing the pages are limited.
