Source "Humo" fails about tvgrabpyapi HOT 15 CLOSED

I have the same problem; it makes that the --configure run fails, so tv_grab_nl3_py.conf is not written; and that means disabling the failing source is impossible, because
tvgrabpyAPI --disable-source 6 reports :
"Re-run me with the --configure flag."

Sort of a catch 22 here ...

from tvgrabpyapi.

The change has been noted and I have temporarily disabled the source. I'll look at a solution in the coming days.

Problem remains, but now with another source:

Creating config file: /var/lib/mythtv/.xmltv/tv_grab_nl3_py.conf
Verifying the database
Cannot open url http://www.nieuwsblad.be/tv-gids
Unable to get channel info from nieuwsblad.be
Not all channel info could be retrieved.
Try again in 15 minutes or so; or disable the failing source.
Waiting for all remaining threads to finish

Wouldnt it be smarter to let the software write the .conf file ALWAYS (and not only if ALL channel info from ALL sources could be retrieved), and give a warning when info is missing? It is then up to the user to re-run the software with the --configure flag some time later, or just ignore the warning if the source is of no interest to you (as is the case with me)?

Testing the nieuwsblad source works, so I think it was just temporarily.

Thanks for your quick response hikavdh!

I might have been geofenced, I am in the US. But even through my VPN (which reroutes me to Netherlands) it doesn't work.
This is strange, because my webbrowser is perfectly able to access https://www.nieuwsblad.be/tv-gids .
Is it perhaps a problem that the script is trying http://www.nieuwsblad.be/tv-gids instead of the https page?

Any updated file where the source was disabled? I can not create the config eigther with the most recent git pull.

I just checked and saw that primo which already was not giving any data for some time now is completely gone. It is now also disabled. I will see to get a humo replacement this weekend.

Well, this is going to be tricky, as the problem seems to be caused by a blocking cooky pop-up. Both their old and new sites are still up and running, but without the acceptance cooky...
Maybe there is an option like on tvgids.nl with cookieoptin = True.
The needed cookies are pwv = 1 and pws = functional|analytics
If anybody has an idea?

We have come up with two possible solutions, only both need a code update. So it will take more time. I'll keep you informed and once there is a stable update, you'll see it in your log.

See: https://github.com/tvgrabbers/tvgrabpyAPI/releases/tag/beta-1.0.10-p20200202

And an update: https://github.com/tvgrabbers/tvgrabpyAPI/releases/tag/beta-1.0.10-p20200206

Thanks for all your work Hika!

However, I'm still not able to create a .conf file:

Creating config file: /var/lib/mythtv/.xmltv/tv_grab_nl3_py.conf
Verifying the database
Cannot open url http://www.nieuwsblad.be/tv-gids
Unable to get channel info from nieuwsblad.be
Not all channel info could be retrieved.
Try again in 15 minutes or so; or disable the failing source.

Wouldn't it make sense to create the .conf file for the part that it can retrieve? I'm not even interested in nieuwsblad.be program info.....

Have you tried tv_grab_nl3.py --configure --disable-source 8

from tvgrabpyapi.

Thanks for that tip, works like a charm now!

There are showing two error messages:

Loaded the English texts file
Using config file: /var/lib/mythtv/.xmltv/tv_grab_nl3_py.conf

..but they are not blocking and easy to disable by deleting the appropriate lines from the .conf file.

Thank you for your help!!

That's what it said! "Try again in 15 minutes or so; or disable the failing source."

The first error I'll look into. The other comes from somehow & in NPO Soul & Jazz being written in HTML representation & which should not happen.
