This fix has been superseded by a move to using libcurl instead.
And no, not possible to have without upgrading. Sorry.

Why do you think the scrapers are broken? The "Workaround" I put in at first was to fix the slow sites that it connected to. Had nothing to do with the scrapers themselves.
And no idea about the apt-get way. Don't know when changes are pushed there.
Also, not sure what fix you are looking for. Last I heard, the backend slowness of those sites were fixed so the workaround/fix I put in place doesn't matter at this point.

I see...perhaps something else is broken with my setup then. I did an apt-get the other day and ever since, my scrapers have all stopped working. They just seem to hang for a couple seconds, like they are retrieving data, and then the whole operation just stops with no error messages or anything.
Nothing actually gets downloaded from the scraper sites except a show title and an image. I'll go digging through the logs a bit...
<<<< EDIT >>>>
So there were a whole lot of database errors in the log. From the look of it, it was getting an error every single time it tried to access the video database file. Obviously, it got corrupted somehow during the last update, or by something I did afterwards.
I just deleted the db file and it got rebuilt properly and after that everything started working fine. Sorry for any confusion (though if someone out there has any definitive knowledge about the release schedule/pattern for apt-get updates, I'm still quite interested to know.)
