tv_grab_huro --list-channels --loc [hu | ro]

Output TV listings for several channels available in Hungary or Romania. The grabber relies on parsing HTML so it might stop working at any time.

First run tv_grab_huro --configure to choose, which channels you want to download. Then running tv_grab_huro with no arguments will output listings in XML format to standard output.

--configure Prompt for which channels, and write the configuration file.

--config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_huro.conf. This is the file written by --configure and read when grabbing.

--gui OPTION Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used. OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice. Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of Term::ProgressBar.

--output FILE write to FILE rather than standard output.

--days N grab N days. The default is eight.

--offset N start N days in the future. The default is to start from today.

--quiet suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.

--slow enables long strategy run: port.hu publishes only some (vital) information on the actual listing pages, the rest is shown in a separate popup window. If you'd like to parse the data from these popups as well, supply this flag. But consider that the grab process takes much longer when doing so, since many more web pages have to be retrieved.

--get-full-description is quite like --slow but doesn't always download data from popup window. Instead this is only requested if description in overview is truncated.

--list-channels write output giving <channel> elements for every channel available (ignoring the config file), but no programmes.

--help print a help message and exit.

The data source does not include full channels information and the channels are identified by short names rather than the RFC2838 form recommended by the XMLTV DTD.
