tv_grab_nl3.py with --quiet still writes to stderr about tvgrabpyapi HOT 4 CLOSED

quiet suppresses output on stdout not on stderr

from tvgrabpyapi.

So if you want to pipe the result instead of using the output file, you must not use quiet as then you get nothing to pipe!

I'm sorry, but I'm quite sure as this has worked for years. I've just tried again just to be absolutely sure:

venv/bin/tv_grab_nl3.py --quiet > stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt &

gives the status messages on stderr as above, and the xml data on stdout.

The function Logging.writelog (in tv_grab_IO.py) checks the quiet flag and should prevent writing to stderr when it is set. Except that it doesn't for these few lines. I'll try to check why :).

You're right. It's been a long time since I looked at that part, while in between I worked other code.
My guess is that there is a problem with your log-file as then message meant for the log-file are send to stderr. In that stderr output you then should see something about the log-file.
