SYNOPSIS

To configure: tv_grab_fr --configure [--config-file FILE] [--gui OPTION] To grab listings: tv_grab_fr [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--perdays] Slower, detailed grab: tv_grab_fr --slow [--output FILE] [--days N] [--offset N] [--quiet] [--perdays] To show capabilities: $0 --capabilities To show version: $0 --version Help: tv_grab_fr --help

DESCRIPTION

Output TV listings for several channels available in France (Hertzian, Cable/satellite, Canal+ Sat, TPS). The data comes from telepoche.guidetele.com. The default is to grab as many days as possible from the current day onwards. By default the program description are not downloaded, so if you want description and ratings, you should active the --slow option.

--configure Grab channels informations from the website and ask for channel type and names.

--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 starting from today, rather than as many as possible. Due to the website organization, the speed is exactly the same, whatever the number of days is until you activate the --slow option. If --slow is not specified, --days will thus only filter the data without speeding up the grabber.

--offset N Start grabbing N days from today, rather than starting today. N may be negative. Due to the website organization, N cannot be inferior to -1. As with --days, this is only useful for limiting downloads in --slow mode.

--slow Get additional information from the website, like program description, reviews and credits.

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

--perdays Activate the ``per days'' grabbing mode. It is a fallback to use if the grabber does not return any data in the XML file

--capabilities Show which capabilities the grabber supports. For more information, see <http://membled.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/XmltvCapabilities>

--version Show the version of the grabber.

--help Print a help message and exit.
