Just a quick note, having a pain in the arse viewing titantv.com channel
listings.

Seems Dillo keeps pulling an unwanted channel listing page instead of my
default channel listing. I even deleted all other channel listings and
restarted Dillo (and dpid, including rebooting) and I'm still getting a
unwanted listing. Changed user agent too.

ELinks seems to be doing similar, but I once got it to display my default
channel listing without having to delete other listings. But now even ELinks
is now showing the same listing that Dillo displays.

Only browser that seems to work is Seamonkey (Mozilla) here.

From what I see, titantv.com is using MS .asp stuff and am guessing its the
server screwing around and trying to push more eye candy.

Can you check whether it works with Seamonkey and Javascript disabled?

Cheers,

I know titantv.com uses heavy javascript.

Turning-off javascript does have a surprising result, it still shows my
preferred default channel listing, unlike ELinks or Dillo showing some other
old cached channel listing.

Yup. Just checking ELinks and Dillo just now, are still showing an old deleted
channel line-up.

Ok, if it works without Javascript then there is hope to get it
working with Dillo.

Maybe it needs cookies. Do you have them enabled for this site?

Seems I forgot to add titantv.com. :-/

$ cat .dillo/cookiesrc
DEFAULT DENY
.gmail.com ACCEPT_SESSION
.google.com ACCEPT_SESSION
.wikimedia.org ACCEPT_SESSION
.titantv.com ACCEPT_SESSION


However, titantv.com is still somehow pulling an old cached channel listing
which is non-existant on my account/cookie.

"fgrep $HOME/.dillorc -e titantv" shows no other locations the domain is in.


Well, I'll play with what I got for now since I now have cookies enabled and
see if I can figure-out why Dillo (including ELinks) is still pulling an old
non-existent channel listing.

OK. I'm now pulling my *real* default listing and not some ghost listing. I
had to 1) enable cookies for the titantv.com domain and 2) login from Dillo
once cookies were enabled.

I also just performed a login on ELinks and am now also getting my *real*
default channel listing and not some ghost channel listing.

(shrugs) I was logging-in all the time the other day on ELinks and I don't know
why it was showing a ghost channel listing -- weird hunch they're playing with
the server-end stuff too.
