[mythtv-users] Mythstream parsers - BBC

[Neale Swinnerton]

This looks very interesting, I haven't played with it in Mythstream yet tho'.

How about using HTML::TokeParser for the parsing rather than your
regex's?, I think it'll handle 'bad' html a bit better.

updated version of bbc_l1.pl attached. (untested, but it creates the same
output as your bbc_l1.pl)

Neale,
