Output TV listings for several channels available in Germany. The data
21
comes from www.tvtoday.de which is the webpage of one of the most
22
popular TV magazines in Germany. The grabber relies on parsing HTML so
23
it might stop working at any time.
25
First run tv_grab_de_tvtoday --configure to choose, which channels you
26
want to download. Then running tv_grab_de_tvtoday with no arguments will
27
output listings in XML format to standard output.
29
--configure Ask for each available channel whether to download and write
30
the configuration file.
32
--config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default
33
is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_de_tvtoday.conf. This is the file written by
34
--configure and read when grabbing.
36
--gui OPTION Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used.
37
OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice.
38
Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal
39
output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of
42
--output FILE Write to FILE rather than standard output.
44
--days N Grab N days. The default is seven.
46
--offset N Start N days in the future. The default is to start from
47
today (= zero). Set to -1 to grab data beginning yesterday.
49
--quiet Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard
52
--slow enables long strategy run: tvtoday.de publishes only some (vital)
53
information on the actual listing pages, the rest is shown in a separate
54
popup window. If you'd like to parse the data from these popups as well,
55
supply this flag. But consider that the grab process takes much longer
56
when doing so, since many more web pages have to be retrieved.
58
--nosqueezeout Disables aggressive squeeze out of information field from
59
the index pages. If specified, the program description from tvtoday.de
60
is passed trough as data of the desc-tag, otherwise the data is parsed
61
for information about actors, director, etc. and understood data gets
62
returned in it's corresponding field.
64
--list-channels Write output giving <channel> elements for every channel
65
available (ignoring the config file), but no programmes.
67
--icons Get the URL for channel-logos together with the channel-list.
68
Mind that this takes a long time, since a webpage has to be requested
