[mythtv-users] "xmltv returned error code 65280" with UK RT grabber.

[Stephen Boddy]

Hi all,

I've been getting these the last 3 or 4 days in the "Backend Status" web page. 
I did a search on the error code, and there was a point in 2004 where RT 
blocked the grabber, with the intent of optimizing things.

I don't know if this is just me, or if something is going on with the RT feed 
again. Anyone else seeing anything. My channel lineup is the Freeview stuff.

I also added the line:
	s/\000\013/../g;
to /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt prior to this run, but it doesn't seem to have 
eliminated the \u000B character. It's possible that this is what is causing 
the failure, but why isn't the substitution occuring?
