Re: XMLTV and Israel? (fwd)
Hi,
I have a working xmltv setup here. It required some hacking into the
downloader code for Israel. First of all, you should use tvtime which has
xmltv support. Second, you need the tv_grab_il script attached. Third,
you'll need a cron job something like this (here I download twice per week):
20 6 * * 0,3 cp /home/alon/media/TV/listings.xml
/home/alon/media/TV/listings.xml.old /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_il | tv_sort
/home/alon/media/TV/listings.xml
Fourth, you need to configure tvtime to use your XMLTV file and correctly
modify the ~/.tvtime/stationlist.xml file with XMLTV ids (I'm attaching my
file).
Good luck!

Hi all,
I would like to set up Freevo on my Ubuntu 6.10 box and make use of the TV
guide feature. I understand it uses XMLTV to get the TV guide (like the EPG
on digital broadcast) but I don't know how to set it up.
I tried to follow the instructions but it is very unfriendly and confusing.
Any of you know of an existing guide / HOWTO or did it him/her self?
Thanks!

tv_grab_il - Grab TV listings for Israel.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
tv_grab_il --help
tv_grab_il [--config-file FILE] --configure
tv_grab_il [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--days N]
[--offset N] [--quiet]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Outputs TV listings for channels available in Israel (free to air, cable
and satellite). The data is obtained from parsing web pages from the Israeli
portal walla (from tv.walla.co.il).
First run Btv_grab_il --configure to decide which channels to download. There
is a long list. You may want to select none when it asks you for which
channels and manually edit the configuration file to uncomment the channels
you wish to tape. Then run Btv_grab_il with no arguments to output the
listing in XML format to the standard output.
To view the hebrew, you will need to set your terminal to have a unicode font
that supports hebrew.
B--configure Prompt for which channels, and write the configuration file.
B--config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the
default is B~/.xmltv/tv_grab_il.conf. This is the file written by
B--configure and read when grabbing.
B--output FILE write to FILE rather than standard output.
B--days N grab N days. The default is 7 (there does not seem to be more
information than this anyway on the server in general).
B--offset N start N days in the future. The default is to start
from today.
B--quiet suppress the progress messages normally written to standard
error.
