SYNOPSIS
tv_grab_pt_vodafone --help tv_grab_pt_vodafone --configure [--config-file FILE] tv_grab_pt_vodafone [--config-file FILE] [--days N] [--offset N] [--channel xmltvid,xmltvid,...] [--output FILE] [--quiet | --debug] tv_grab_pt_vodafone --list-channels [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--quiet | --debug]
DESCRIPTION
Output TV listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in Portugal. This program consumes the EPG service from <https://vodafone.pt/>. First you must run tv_grab_pt_vodafone --configure to choose which stations you want to receive. Then running tv_grab_pt_vodafone with no arguments will get listings for the stations you chose for the maximum 7 days, including today.
OPTIONS
--configure Prompt for which stations to download and write the configuration file. --config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_pt_vodafone.conf. This is the file written by --configure and read when grabbing. --output FILE When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than standard output. --days N When grabbing, grab N days rather than everything available. --offset N Start grabbing at today + N days. --quiet Only print error-messages on STDERR. --debug Provide more information on progress to STDERR to help in debugging. --list-channels Output a list of all channels that data is available for. The list is in xmltv-format. --capabilities Show which capabilities the grabber supports. For more information, see <http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities> --version Show the version of the grabber. --help Print a help message and exit.
ERROR HANDLING
If the grabber fails to download data from Vodafone, it will print an error message to STDERR and then exit with a status code of 1 to indicate that the data is missing.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The environment variable HOME can be set to change where configuration files are stored. All configuration is stored in $HOME/.xmltv/. On Windows, it might be necessary to set HOME to a path without spaces in it.
CREDITS
Kevin Groeneveld (kgroeneveld at gmail dot com) This grabber uses code from tv_grab_pt_meo by Karl Dietz, dekarl -at- users -dot- sourceforge -dot- net, and from tv_grab_zz_sdjson by Kevin Groeneveld, kgroeneveld -at- gmail -dot- com. The original idea of this grabber came from higuita's shell script, see <https://github.com/higuita/vodafone.pt-xmltv>. Special thanks to Vodafone for building a clean, fast, and public access API; much more reliable than Meo's open API (but sadly not as open) and much better than the lack of any API from NOS.
