🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, here's every single way you can call her:

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --help

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --info

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --version

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --capabilities

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --description

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

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure [--config-file FILE]

no cap, that's the whole vibe menu 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically ✨ this is an XMLTV grabber for the Schedules Direct JSON API. And when we say Schedules Direct, we mean http://www.schedulesdirect.org — that's the link, go look, it's right there 👑

💅 CONFIGURATION 💅

Okay so first thing first: run tv_grab_zz_sdjson with the --configure option and it'll make you a config file. Slay. That's the whole ritual 🫶

But heads up bestie — MythTV does not use the default XMLTV config file path. Not the vibe. So if you're on MythTV, you also gotta specify the config file, like this:

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file ~/.mythtv/source_name.xmltv

And ngl, doing the XMLTV config from inside the MythTV GUI is very flaky 😭 so you're probably better off just doing it from the command line. Trust. Command line ate, GUI did not 💀
