7HD only works if yahoo7widget is selected as your source

[jaymzjulian]

If your grabber ends up being rex (which makes some sense, since it has HD flags - it's the only way I get HD movie flags here), the grabber will skip 7HD unless hd_to_sds is undefined in tv_grab_au - which if disabled as a workaround, currently gives quite good results. I assume that this was to block oztivo's horrifically bad 7hd results :)

Of course, reverting to yahoo7widget does also work around the problem, but at the expense of all of my HD flags...

jaymzjulian I can't recommend using rex as your main grabber due to the time it takes compared to yahoowidget. Yahoowidget doesn't mark HDTV programs but the ones missed by flag_aus_hdtv should only be a few movies, and a fair guess for this would be a release date in the last few years. rex wont be perfect in its tagging.

Robbo marking a movie as HDTV would be nice but seems less important due to the manual nature of scheduling it.

Better then commenting hd_to_sds, comment this next statement in shepherd (tv_grab_au):

# don't process high definition channels due to there high unreliablity next if exists $hd_to_sds->{$ch};

This statement prevents the 7HD and TEN HD being grabber with anything other than yahoowidget and oztivo. Its exists to stop shepherd failing if 7HD or TEN HD disappears, or changes format again. When the channels stabilise I will remove it, hopefully soon.

oztivo's 7hd isn't bad as far as I know.

I do agree with what you're saying - would a patch be accepted that made skipping HD channels optional though?

I found oztivo's 7HD to be missing quite a few programs last week, but that may have changed. In any case, I do see your point about the grabbers, and I would never suggest making it the default - but I don't care personally about a 2 hour overnight grab, given that we auto-mark movies here with globs most of the time it still reduces my personal time spent :).

I would prefer to wait and see what the situation is where the channels stop changing.
