NAME

tv_grab_il - Grab TV listings for Israel.

SYNOPSIS

tv_grab_il --help tv_grab_il --version tv_grab_il --capabilities tv_grab_il --description tv_grab_il [--config-file FILE] [--days N] [--offset N] [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--debug] tv_grab_il --configure [--config-file FILE] tv_grab_il --configure-api [--stage NAME] [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] tv_grab_il --list-channels [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

Output TV listings in XMLTV format for many channels available in Israel. The data comes from tv.walla.co.il. First you must run tv_grab_il --configure to choose which channels you want to receive. Then running tv_grab_il with no arguments will get a listings in XML format for the channels you chose for available days including today.

OPTIONS

--configure Prompt for which channels to download and write the configuration file. --config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_il.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 all available days. --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. --list-channels Write output giving <channel> elements for every channel available (ignoring the config file), but no programmes. --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 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.

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.

SUPPORTED CHANNELS

For information on supported channels, see http://tv.walla.co.il/
