FIXED: Again issues with tvtoday.de

[Hawkeye]

Hello James,

there is again a problem with the tvtoday website - and this time I don't seem to solve it...

In some cases (especially on series) behind the title a subtitle is written, as seen here e.g. (bold red text):

<tr valign="top">
	<td style="border-left: 2px solid white; border-right: 2px solid white; border-bottom: 2px solid white; text-align: center;" width="45">
	<span class="tv-sendung-uhrzeit">10.35<br>-<br>11.05</span>
	</td>
	<td style="border-right: 2px solid white; border-bottom: 2px solid white;" align="center" width="50">
	<img style="position: relative;" src="http://images.tvtoday.de/img/program/logos/arte.gif" id="channel_logo_arte" alt="arte" class="channel_logo">
				<script language="Javascript">
				<!--
				new Draggable("channel_logo_arte", {
						revert:true,
						onStart:function(draggable) {
							StopFiring.init(draggable.element);
						}
					}
				)
				//-->
				</script>

			
	</td>
	<td style="border-bottom: 2px solid white;"><a href="javascript: detailPopup('10747740');" class="tv-sendung-titel">Janoschs Traumstunde</a> 	 <span class="tv-sendung-info">Kleines Schiff Pyjamahose; Das Seepferdchenrennen</span>	<br>
	<span class="tv-sendung-info">(<a href="/program2007?format=channel&amp;channelId=ARTE&amp;offset=0"><b>Arte</b></a>) 30 Min. 
	Showview 5-601-632<br>
	Zeichentrickserie
						</span>					
	</td>

	<td style="border-right: 2px solid white; border-bottom: 2px solid white;" align="center" width="50">
			<a href="javascript: addToMyTv('mytv_10747740');"><img src="http://images.tvtoday.de/img/program/zu_my_tv.gif" class="icon_mytv" id="mytv_10747740" border="0" height="24" vspace="5" width="24"></a><br>
	</td>
</tr>

These entries aren't parsed with the existing template. But if I change the template by e.g. adding

<span><#SUBTITLE></span>

the others (where no subtitle exists) aren't parsed...

So I tried to add a second template but that didn't work either...

Do you or anybody else have an idea?

[Hawkeye]

No one got an idea?

@James: Is it possible to get tags (in this case the span-tag) marked as optional for the parser?

[James]

Sorry, very short of time at the moment. Try the 'z' tags (see wiki).

No problem! Will try that and post the result / updated grabber file.

Tried it and got it working again.

As promised you can find the updated grabber file attached.
