tv_grab_pt_meo - Grab TV listings for MEO from SAPO in Portugal.

tv_grab_pt_meo --help

tv_grab_pt_meo --configure [--config-file FILE]

tv_grab_pt_meo [--config-file FILE] [--days N] [--offset N] [--channel xmltvid,xmltvid,...] [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--debug]

tv_grab_pt_meo --list-channels [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--debug]

Output TV and listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in Portugal. This program consumes the EPG service offering from SAPO at <http://services.sapo.pt/Metadata/Service/EPG?culture=EN>. Or their new API documentation at <https://store.services.sapo.pt/en/cat/catalog/other/meo-epg/technical-description>. See <http://seguranca.sapo.pt/termosdeutilizacao/apis_rss_webservices.html> for their terms of service. (automatic translation suggests it's free for personal use, verification appreciated)

First you must run tv_grab_pt_meo --configure to choose which stations you want to receive.

Then running tv_grab_pt_meo with no arguments will get a listings for the stations you chose for all available days including today.

--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_meo.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.

If the grabber fails to download data from webstep, it will print an errormessage to STDERR and then exit with a status code of 1 to indicate that the data is missing.

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.
