Re: Installing XMLTV 0.5.66 from source on Debian

Hello Nick,

I installed latest version as you say, it compile well and get channel
list perfect.

But when I execute to get the description I get this:

$ tv_grab_es_laguiatv
...
The 'minute' parameter (undef) to DateTime::set was an 'undef', which
is not one of the allowed types: scalar
 at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20/DateTime.pm line 1946.
DateTime::set(undef, "hour", undef, "minute", undef, "second", 0)
called at /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_es_laguiatv line 662
main::get_program_data(HTML::TreeBuilder=HASH(0x41da0b0)) called at
/usr/local/bin/tv_grab_es_laguiatv line 529
main::process_table("", "13tv-943.laguiatv.com", "13tv-943") called at
/usr/local/bin/tv_grab_es_laguiatv line 467

Thanks for your help.

Regards.
