[mythtvnz] epg.org.nz

Hi,

Has the new data been moved over by any chance? Guide data hasn't been
downloading for the last few days (since Tuesday maybe?). I had a
chance to take a look today. On my box something isn't quite right, it
seems tv_grab_nz-py 0.2.7 can't follow the redirect.

I fixed by changing:

    if res.status != 200:
        return False

to

    if res.status != 200:
        log.error('HTTP Status: %s' % res.status)
        return False

to log HTTP errors and found the 301 redirect that was failing.

And then this change:

    h = httplib.HTTPConnection(host)

to

    h = httplib.HTTPSConnection(host)

I then changed the source as I still seem to have a redirect issue
with the original location (I checked the redirect itself and it's
fine so my initial though that using HTTPSConnection would allow it to
follow may not be right). Even if it doesn't resolve the redirect the
change is needed.

     'http://epg.nz/freeview.xml.gz',

I also tried the new guide data at https://epg.nz/epg.xml and didn't
see any obvious issues with it. There are differences to old data
(subtitles?) that mean some recording rules duplicate checks needed to
be changed but that's not a guide data issue.

Thanks for the data, much appreciated.

Cheers.
