💖 TV_GRAB_PT_MEO 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is tv_grab_pt_meo — a little grabber from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and she's here to pull TV listings for Portugal. 🇵🇹✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, the whole vibe in four lines:

tv_grab_pt_meo --help

tv_grab_pt_meo [--config-file FILE] --configure [--gui OPTION]

tv_grab_pt_meo [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--days N]
               [--offset N] [--fast] [--quiet] [--debug]

tv_grab_pt_meo --list-channels [--config-file FILE]
                 [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--debug]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

She outputs TV listings for several channels available in Portugal. several. we love range. 💅

First things first: run tv_grab_pt_meo --configure to choose which channels you actually want to download. Then running tv_grab_pt_meo with no arguments at all will output listings in XML format to standard output. that's it, that's the whole girl. 🎀

Channel ids come out in alphanumeric characters, okay? Only basic Latin alphabet chars are allowed, so any utf-8 characters hanging out in the station callsign get translated to a Latin equivalent. it's giving ~normalization~ ✨

But if you'd rather have numeric ids, there's the 'number' option, which uses the channel number as the id. (Compare 'HISTHD' vs. '91'.) You can set this option during --configure. pick your fighter. 👑

🫶 THE OPTIONS, ONE BY ONE, NO SKIPS 🫶

  • --configure — Prompts you for which channels you want, and writes the configuration file. the moment of decision, bestie.
  • --gui OPTION — Use this option to enable a graphical interface. OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice. Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal output (which is the default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of Term::ProgressBar. options within options, so meta. 💀
  • --config-file FILE — Sets the name of the configuration file. The default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_pt_meo.conf. This is the file written by --configure and read when grabbing. she remembers everything you told her. 🧚
  • --days N — Grab N days. The default is 7 days. a whole week, periodt.
  • --offset N — Start N days in the future. The default is to start from today. time travel, but make it listings. ⭐
  • --fast — Only fetch summary information for each programme. This is only title, start/stop times, category, episode number. speedrun mode, no lore. 🔥
  • --output FILE — Write to FILE rather than standard output. redirect your destiny. 🌈
  • --quiet — Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error. shhh. 🤫
  • --debug — Provide more information on progress to standard error to help in debugging. nosy in the best way. 🙈
  • --list-channels — Output a list (in xmltv format) of all channels that can be fetched. window shopping, but for channels. 🍓
  • --version — Show the version of the grabber. she's telling you her age.
  • --help — Print a help message and exit. the classic. iconic.
