XML2VDR(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual, section 1 — sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about the most ✨niche✨ little converter in the whole DVB world 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

xml2vdr — no cap, this thing converts XML DVB-SI files into a VDR channel list 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xml2vdr filename.xmlstat

that's it. one argument. she's lowkey minimal and I respect it 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so xml2vdr is a simple utility whose whole entire job — her main character purpose, fr fr — is to take XML DVB-SI files and turn them into a channel list for VDR. that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe. 😌

and like, where do you even get XML DVB-SI output for a satellite? bestie, you use dvbtune:

dvbtune -i

that command will generate the appropriate XML output straight to standard output. so you pipe it, you save it, you feed it to xml2vdr, and boom — channels. iconic behavior honestly 🔥

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here's every option xml2vdr understands, and yes there are only two, she's a woman of focus 👑

  • --help — prints the help message, for when you're like "wait what does this do again" 🙈
  • --version — prints the version string, so you can flex which build you're running 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋
