Seems to have been some case changes on the 4od webpage that lists the episodes, causing the parser to stall indefinitely when trying to list episodes.


Changing the following line in default.py:

Code:

epsInfo = re.findall( '<li.*?data-episode-number="(.*?)".*?data-assetid="(.*?)".*?data-episodeUrl="(.*?)".*?data-image-url="(.*?)".*?data-txDate="(.*?)".*?data-episodeTitle="(.*?)".*?data-episodeInfo="(.*?)".*?data-episodeSynopsis="(.*?)".*?data-series-number="(.*?)"', ol, re.DOTALL )

to

Code:

epsInfo = re.findall( '<li.*?data-episode-number="(.*?)".*?data-assetid="(.*?)".*?data-episodeurl="(.*?)".*?data-image-url="(.*?)".*?data-txdate="(.*?)".*?data-episodetitle="(.*?)".*?data-episodeinfo="(.*?)".*?data-episodesynopsis="(.*?)".*?data-series-number="(.*?)"', ol, re.DOTALL )

should get around the problem, and is backward compatible, so if they change the webpage back to the way it was, this code will still work.

Tested on Nibor's version 1.0.1.


Note: A better solution would do a quick check that the relevant strings can be found on the webpage, before trying to match the regexp. When the webpage changes like this we really just want an error msg saying that there's a problem.

Many thanks Mossy its working fine for me now

For anyone not comfortable editing the default.py I've put my edited 40d folder here in zip format:-
