Error while grabbing EPG data from Telekom/MagentaTV

[eremem]

Tested with "BBC World","CNN International","Hamburg 1","HGTV" and "RNF". The grabber returns the following output:

+++ COUNTRY: GERMANY +++

Press any key to continue...

When I want to edit the channel list afterward, selecting MODIFY CHANNEL LIST shows no list at all and you can see the following message:

New channel list saved!
Please run the grabber to add new channels to the setup modules!

Now if I remove the grabber, add it again and try to add any channels, most of the time I get no channel list either and it shows the following message:

Channel list creation aborted!
Please note that at least 1 channel must be included in channel list!

This is a problem caused by the cookie, preventing the script from updating the setup correctly. I'll take a look at it asap.

@ererem Please kindly check if @DeBaschdi 's script version fixes your problems:
https://github.com/DeBaschdi/easyepg

You can switch the version by running branch-debaschdi.sh from the script folder.

Yes, after the switch the grabber seems to work:

Is there a chance that this version lands in the official branch?

Btw. in this branch, the fix from the official one would be required for TV-SPIELFILM, since I get the same error here as in #19

@ererem Please test your Telekom setup a few times - to make sure that everything works correctly. I'll merge the fix after positive feedback.

[eremem]

As requested I've started the Telekom grabber ~10 times. I added a few random channels to my previous setup (now 20 in total) to make the tests more a real-world case. No problems were reported, everything seems to work as expected.
