[Pkg-freevo-maint] Bug#575222: [freevo] Unable to resolve RTVE web

[aab3r]

Package: freevo
Version: 1.9.0-4
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

RTVE plugin is able to connect initially and download the list of
programs. However, when choosing a program to watch, it is unable to
fill the cache with data, giving the messages "Resolving www.rtve for
AF_INET6", "Connecting to server". Obviously, using a web browser (any)
to get into the www.rtve.es web page works.

If I start freevo from the console, some messages appear; not sure if
they are related:
Freevo 1.9.0 ready
/usr/share/pyshared/freevo/osd.py:169: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal
comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
  return self.chars[c]

/usr/share/pyshared/freevo/skins/main/area.py:238: UnicodeWarning:

  self.objects.text.remove(b)

Please, let me know if I can help with testing. Thank you for your work
