DESCRIPTION
This scripts downloads listings from Zap2IT's DataDirect service, converts it to XMLTV format, and outputs the results.
You must first register with Data Direct at: . http://labs.zap2it.com
You'll need to provide the XMLTV certificate code "TGYM-ZKOC-BUTV"
The service is currently free.
Once you've registered, run tv_grab_na_dd --configure to provide your username. You control what channels you get at the DataDirect website.
Once configured, running tv_grab_na_dd with no arguments will output listings in XML format to standard output.
--configure Prompt for username and write the configuration file.
--config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_na_dd.conf. This is the file written by --configure and read when grabbing.
--password-file FILE Read the DataDirect password from FILE. If this option is not given, the grabber prompts for a password.
--output FILE write to FILE rather than standard output.
--days N grab N days. The default is 7. 0 will only list channels/lineups.
--offset N start N days in the future. The default is to start from today.
--quiet suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.
--lineup limits results to one lineup. "--lineup list" does what you expect
--old-chan-id attempt to use the same channel id as tv_grab_na
--low-mem uses less memory. Omit all but the most basic program information.
--dd-data save DataDirect data to this file (default is a temporary file)
--reprocess don't get data from DataDirect, but reprocess a file saved with --dd-data
