tv_grab_is - Grab TV listings for Iceland.

SYNOPSIS

tv_grab_is --help

tv_grab_is [--config-file FILE] --configure [--gui OPTION]

tv_grab_is [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--days N] [--offset N] [--quiet]

DESCRIPTION

Output TV listings for several channels available in Iceland. The data comes from www.sjonvarp.is. The grabber relies on parsing HTML so it might stop working at any time.

First run tv_grab_is --configure to choose, which channels you want to download. Then running tv_grab_is 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_is.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 as many as the source carries.

--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.

--help print a help message and exit.
