Program missing from SBS yet shows up on website

[Bernmeister]

The program ‘Marshall’ is listed at SBSOnDemand

‌ https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/marshall/1698091587588

yet when I run webdl (manually) the program does not appear in the listings (Section/Programs, Genre/Documentary, Genre/Drama, Genre/Factual). Initially used webdl via crontab but that’s when I noticed the show didn’t download so looked for it manually.

‌

Are you able to determine if the id (1698091587588) appears in what webdl downloads, but the show is by another name? Or is something more spurious happening here…?

‌

Thanks in advance,

Bernard

Did some testing and noticed that

‌ https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/little-white-lies/221803587985

is listed but not

‌ https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/1729897539600/whitney

So I am wondering if there is an issue with parsing the URL for ‘video’ versus ‘movie’?

I just bumped into this issue when trying to grab Tribal (https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/tribal). After a bit of digging, it looks as though this series is only showing up on the NITV channel, which isn’t being scanned by sbs.py. I was able to fix this by modifying

SBSRootNode.load_all_video_entries()

Adding NITV to the channel list seems to have sorted it for this series for me:

        channels = [
            "Channel/NITV",
            "Channel/SBS1",
            "Channel/SBS Food",
            "Channel/SBS VICELAND",
            "Channel/SBS World Movies",
            "Channel/Web Exclusive",
        ]

Well done mate! I have added your fix and will test overnight…ironically I also wanted to get Tribal and hit the same issue

This issue is still outstanding in the current version and Larry’s fix worked for me. I wonder why the source code hasn’t been updated.

I’ve created a pull request for this based on Larry’s fix. Let’s see how it goes.

Thanks…and fingers crossed!

And in case people aren't following, I've posted a quick and dirty fix for the current SBS issues in #125 (for some reason, I can't create new issues at the moment, but can comment - so sorry for the cross post).

Sorry for the slow reply, life has been busy lately. Thanks for this fix, I’ve committed it :-)
