XMLTV release 0.5.50

XMLTV 0.5.50 was just released. It is said that this could be the last release before moving to 1.0.

Changes:

  • Add new XMLTV::Supplement capability to many grabbers. Those grabbers will now check a XMLTV.ORG web server for channel-id and other supplemental information. This ensures more current versions and should make new channels available sooner for effected grabbers.
  • DTD has been changed. A “system” attribute has been added to and now allows multiple instances.
  • tv_grab_na_dtv : New grabber for North America Direct TV users.
  • tv_grab_eu_epgdata New grabber for the commercial epgdata.com service
  • tv_grab_fr : Improves Color/B&W detection, autocorrect, actors, director field parsing
  • tv_grab_uk_rt: improved bad character handling. Added “recommended” and “deaf-signed” notations.
  • tv_grab_il : replace Locale::Hebrew module to Text::Bidi due licensing problems
  • tv_check : Skip –myreplaytv as MyReplayTV.com has been discontinued.
