SYNOPSIS

       tv_grab_fr_kazer --help

       tv_grab_fr_kazer --configure [--config-file FILE] [--root-url URL]

       tv_grab_fr_kazer [--config-file FILE] [--root-url URL]
                        [--days N] [--offset N] [--channel
       xmltvid,xmltvid,...]
                        [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--debug]

       tv_grab_fr_kazer --list-channels [--config-file FILE] [--root-url URL]
                        [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--debug]


DESCRIPTION

       Output TV and listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in
       France. This program consumes the EPG service offering from Kazer at
       <http://www.kazer.org/>.  See TODO INSERTLINKHERE for their terms of
       service. (automatic translation suggests it's free for personal use,
       verfication appreciated)

       First you must register an account at kazer.org and choose which
       stations you want to receive.

       Then run tv_grab_fr_kazer --configure to setup the grabber with your
       userhash and maybe filter the channels. (in case you feed multiple
       consumers with data from one account, like using different
       configurations for tv cable and iptv channels)

       After these two steps running tv_grab_fr_kazer with no arguments will
       get a listings for the stations you chose for all available days
       including today.

       ATTENTION: The downloaded data is cached for one hour, so if you add
       channels to your account it can take up to one hour until they are
       returned from the grabber. You can remove the downloaded guide to force
       an immediate refresh by deleteing the guide from the supplementry file
       cache. On Unix like system it is by default at
       ~/.xmltv/supplement/tvguide.zip?u=<your userhash>.


OPTIONS

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

       Note that due to the format of the source data, tv_grab_fr_kazer always
       downloads data for all channels that have been selected on kazer.org.
       Removing channels from the configuration in order to speed up downloads
       or reduce data transfer will therefore not work.

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

       --output FILE When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than standard
       output.

       --days N When grabbing, grab N days rather than everything available.

       --offset N Start grabbing at today + N days.

       Note that due to the format of the source data, tv_grab_fr_kazer always
       downloads data for all available days and then filters for days
       specified with --days and --offset. Specifying --days and/or --offset
       in order to speed up downloads or reduce data transfer will therefore
       not work.

       --quiet Only print error-messages on STDERR.

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

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

       --capabilities Show which capabilities the grabber supports. For more
       information, see <http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities>

       --version Show the version of the grabber.

       --help Print a help message and exit.


ERROR HANDLING

       If the grabber fails to download data from kazer.org, it will print an
       errormessage to STDERR and then exit with a status code of 1 to
       indicate that the data is missing.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

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