Known Issues with Character Encoding

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!)

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

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

remove group/status/category examples from the tracker (might check for other unused stuff while there)

Maybe it's best to move most uses over to our own Get_nice.

Candidates for wrapping into Static File Grabbers

_cz_arcao: XMLTV export from arcao.com. Provides explicit time offsets.
_dk_ontv: XMLTV export from ontv.dk.
_eu_phazer: XMLTV service from tvprofil.net aka Phazer XMLTV Service. Notice that they provide timestamps in their local time as floating time which is intepreted as UTC...
_fr_kazer: XMLTV service from kazer.org.
_it_ambrosa: XMLTV export from ambrosa.net. Explicit about non-commercial use only.
_ru_teleguide: XMLTV export from teleguide.info. Provides explicit time offsets.

[1] possible extensions/clarifications from a consumers POV
list in the supplementary files mapping DVB/ATSC id to grabber/channel. Then let --list-channels & co. enrich channel list with related ids

be prepared that xmltv ids really might be similar to FQDN (255 characters max.) the longest I've seen in the wild is 69 characters (_es_laguiatv)
