[mythtv] tv_grab_au Australia/Melbourne

[Brian May]

Hello,

What is the latest version of this program? I downloaded a copy from
this mailing list, but it seems rather buggy, e.g. it uses <> to read
STDIN, but gets confused with the command line arguments...

Also, I have noticed odd problems like:

Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_au line 225.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_au line 230.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_au line 268.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_au line 269.
title element: not writing empty content for title at /usr/share/perl5/XMLTV.pm line 1730.
bad data inside programme element, not writing

The conflicting programs bit seems kind of weird, considering I just
updated seconds ago. Some of those times look rather suspicious too
(unless I misparsed the times).

The +1100 at the end of the times implies that the times are all in
UTC. I am guessing this is wrong, the times look like local times to
me. I am guessing this is a bug in the program, there is no need for
the offset variable if all times are local times.

Can I will continue checking.

For example, the top entry:

[ Invalid, closest is 07 1630 to 07 1700 LT according to green guide ]

Despite the errors, the TV shows seem to have come out OK. Regardless,
it concerns me that something isn't quite right.
