Known Issues with Character Encoding
- tv_grab_ch_search data source sends windows-1252 as iso-8859-1 (e.g. Euro Symbol) Newer HTML readers are supposed to handle this correctly. Need to verify that we can dump perl strings at XMLTV::Writer and it will do the right thing with regard to escaping anything outside $encoding into XML entities.
- tv_grab_hr tv_grab_no_gfeed tv_grab_se_swedb fix commited upstream
- #1910245 should add a test for HTML entities in the generated XML. (hint ´ is invalid XML!)
Issues with Time Zones
tv_grab_dk_dr DST issues tv_grab_il DST issues tv_grab_it DST issues tv_grab_pt_meo DST issues tv_grab_uk_bleb DST issues, floating start>stop leads to wrong date calculation and time offsets
Memory Leaks??
- #2612996 tv_grab_na_dtv dumps core on windows as .exe, grows quite as perl
Cleanup List
Feel free to take anything from the list
- #1880681 the bug was solved (not a bug), the suggestion for Supplementary Files is turning one can of worms into another...
- tv_grab_huro has no maintainer?
- #2748362 site changes: holes in the collected programs
- #2837668 site changes: unexpected hash references
- #2858285 close it, was "no channels found", the grabber does not fail completely anymore (see status)
- #2910015 close it, was "no programs on channel 1", test_grabbers tests with that channel succesful
Cleanup SourceForge Project
- remove group/status/category examples from the tracker (might check for other unused stuff while there)
Check for Breakage caused by LWP::Simple
- silent uncompression
- silent code page conversion
- silent proxy handling
Maybe it's best to move most uses over to our own Get_nice.
