TV_TO_POTATOE(1)

📦 version 1.4.0, in alpine 3.24

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, listen up — tv_to_potatoe is the vibe: it converts XMLTV listings into potatoe format. that's it, that's the whole thing, iconic behavior honestly 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tv_to_potatoe [--help] [--outdir PATH] [--lang LANGUAGE] [FILE...]

look at her go 🫶 that's the whole entry point, no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically tv_to_potatoe reads your XMLTV data and outputs potatoe files. where does it put them? either the current working directory, or wherever you tell it to. main character energy, gives you options 😌

here's the breakdown of the flags, and YES you need all of them in your life:

  • --outdir PATH — writes to PATH instead of dumping everything into the current working directory. like, if you want your potatoe files to live somewhere specific, this is your girl 💫
  • --lang LANGUAGE — this is where you say what LANGUAGE you prefer. and the slay part? you can specify this argument multiple times. so stack them if you want. but here's the tea: if you give no --lang arguments at all, German gets picked as the language of choice, followed by English. ja, genau, that's the default 🙈
heads up bestie: no --lang flags = German first, then English. not a drill, that's literally the fallback. 🍓
