Package: mediathekview Version: 2.4.0-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, mediathekview has 2 ways to update its list of available movies. Normally it retrieves a file, which containes the list of all supported tv-stations. The user can also use the built-in functionality to gather the list of movies directly off the tv-stations' websites. Some time ago, the format of the update-file changed, so using the update-file method, mediathekview lists a total of 0 movies as available. The workaround, recommended by upstream on their site, is to use the direct info gathering method. But apparently the format of the websites changed enough that doing this yields a list with only 1376 movie entries. Many of the supported tv-stations show up in the list as having no movies at all available. Using upstreams current version, which can work with the update-file yields a list with 57537 movies. So the packaged version gives users access to less than 3% of what is really available. These numbers are from 2012-07-13, but during the past weeks I found them to be similar. Please remove the packaged version from Testing, if it cannot be upgraded to a working version before the release of Wheezy.
