DESCRIPTION
Grab TV listings for several channels available in Finland. The data
comes from various sources, e.g. www.telkku.com. The grabber relies on
parsing HTML, so it might stop working when the web page layout is
changed.
You need to run "tv_grab_fi --configure" first to create the channel
configuration for your setup. Subsequently runs of "tv_grab_fi" will
grab the latest data, process them and produce XML data on the standard
output.
COMMANDS
NONE Grab mode.
--capabilities
Show the capabilities this grabber supports. See also
<http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities>.
--configure
Generate the configuration file by asking the users which
channels to grab.
--description
Print the description for this grabber.
--help|-h|-?
Show this help page.
--list-channels
Fetch all available channels from the various sources and write
them to the standard output.
--version
Show the version of this grabber.
GENERIC OPTIONS--cache FILE
File name to cache the fetched HTML data in. This speeds up
subsequent runs using the same data.
--gui [OPTION]
Enable the graphical user interface. If you don't specify
OPTION then XMLTV will automatically choose the best available
GUI. Allowed values are:
Term
Terminal output with a progress bar
TermNoProgressBar
Terminal output without progress bar
Tk Tk-based GUI
--quiet Suppress any progress messages to the standard output.
CONFIGURE MODE OPTIONS--config-file FILE
File name to write the configuration to.
Default is $HOME/.xmltv/tv_grab_fi.conf.
GRAB MODE OPTIONS--config-file FILE
File name to read the configuration from.
Default is $HOME/.xmltv/tv_grab_fi.conf.
--days "N"
Grab "N" days of TV data.
Default is 14 days.
--offset "N"
Grab TV data starting at "N" days in the future.
Default is 0, i.e. today.
--output FILE
Write the XML data to FILE instead of the standard output.
CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX
The configuration file is line oriented, each line can contain one
command. Empty lines and everything after the "#" comment character is
ignored. Supported commands are:
channel ID NAME
Grab information for this channel. "ID" depends on the source,
"NAME" is ignored and forwarded as is to the XMLTV output file.
This information can be automatically generated using the
grabber in the configuration mode.
series description NAME
If a programme title matches "NAME" then the first sentence of
the description, i.e. everything up to the first period ("."),
question mark ("?") or exclamation mark ("!"), is removed from
the description and is used as the name of the episode.
series title NAME
If a programme title contains a colon (":") then the grabber
checks if the left-hand side of the colon matches "NAME". If it
does then the left-hand side is used as programme title and the
right-hand side as the name of the episode.
title map "FROM" 'TO'
If the programme title starts with the string "FROM" then
replace this part with the string "TO". The strings must be
enclosed in single quotes ("'") or double quotes ("""). The
title mapping occurs before the "series" command processing.
title strip parental level
At the beginning of 2012 some programme descriptions started to
include parental levels at the end of the title, e.g. "(S)".
With this command all parental levels will be removed from the
titles automatically. This removal occurs before the title
mapping.

BUGS

form recommended by the XMLTV DTD.
