tv_grab_uk_tvguide grabber error

Pete B

I am trying to install this grabber.

Via the SSH command line i enter:

/usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_tvguide --configure

I am prompted with:

Directory to store the cache in: [/home/pi/.xmltv/cache]

I press enter to confirm. But get the following error message:

Fetching channels: 0% [ ]Can't call method "look_down" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_tvguide line 758.

Is this guide broken, or did I do something wrong?

Many thanks

This is probably not the best place to ask (however, if you are lucky someone had the same issues and solved it, finds your post and proposes a solution here), a better place would be where the grabber is maintained (I think that is in some GitHub repository), especially if you assume that it is broken and/or has a bug.

Thank you.

While you are here. Do you have a view of which is the better grabber for UK TV and shows episode and series info?

I'm not in the UK (and I haven't really tried the various EPG Grabbers), so absolutely no clue.

Thanks any. Appreciate you taking the time to help.
