Output TV and listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in Sweden. Data is downloaded from http://tv.swedb.se/ by default.

First you must run tv_grab_se_swedb --configure to choose which stations you want to receive.

Then running tv_grab_se_swedb with no arguments will get a listings for the stations you chose for five days including today.

--configure Prompt for which stations to download and write the configuration file.

--config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_se_swedb.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 When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than standard output.

--days N When grabbing, grab N days rather than 5.

--offset N Start grabbing at today + N days. N may be negative.

--quiet suppress the progress-bar normally shown on standard error.

--debug provide more information on progress to stderr to help in debugging.

--channel xmltvid Disregard configuration file and only grab data for the specified channel(s). The parameter is a commaseparated list of xmltv channel-ids.

--list-channels Output a list of all channels that data is available for. The list is in xmltv-format.

--root-url url Specify the url of the file describing all available channels. The default is http://tv.swedb.se/xmltv/channels.xml.gz. The value passed in here when running with --configure is stored in the configuration file and used in all subsequent runs of the grabber.

--help print a help message and exit.

If the grabber fails to download data for some channel on a specific day, it will print an errormessage to STDERR and then continue with the other channels and days. The grabber will exit with a status code of 1 to indicate that the data is incomplete.

The environment variable HOME can be set to change where configuration files are stored. All configuration is stored in CW$HOME/.xmltv/. On Windows, it might be necessary to set HOME to a path without spaces in it.
