tv_grab_it - Grab TV listings for Italy.

       This grabber is currently unmantained.

perl v5.38.2                                       2024-02-24                                     TV_GRAB_IT(1p)

       If  you  use  --quiet  you should also use --errors-in-xml or you won't be warned about errors. Note also
       that, as opposed to previous versions, this grabber doesn't die if it cannot find any data,  but  returns
       an empty (or optionally containing just warnings) xml file instead.

       The  backends'  data  quality  differs a lot. For example, mytv was very basic, yet complete and uses the
       least amount of bandwidth. Skytv has a lot of channels, but unless you use it with the --slow option  the
       data  is  not  very  good (and in this case i would be VERY slow). wfactory is a good overall site if you
       don't need the whole sky package.

       Output TV listings for several channels available in Italy.  The grabber relies on parsing HTML so it
       might stop working at any time.  The data comes from different backends. This is to minimize blackouts in
       case of site changes but also to extend the number of channels.  If the grabber can't find the data with
       the first backend it will try the second one, and so on. You can specify your order of preference using
       the --backend option.

       Currently configured backends are (in default order):

       mediaset  - grabs data from www.mediaset.it
       skylife  - grabs data from www.skylife.it
       raiit    - grabs data from www.rai.it
       mediaset_guidatv  - grabs data from www.mediaset.it/guidatv
       mediasetpremium  - grabs data from www.mediasetpremium.it
       iris     - grabs data from www.iris.it
       boingtv  - grabs data from www.boingtv.it
       la7    - grabs data from www.la7.it

       First  run  tv_grab_it--configure to choose which channels you want to download. Then running tv_grab_it
       with no arguments will output listings in XML format to standard output.

       --configure Prompt for which channels, and writes the configuration file.

       --config-fileFILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_it.conf.  This
       is the file written by --configure and read when grabbing.

       --guiOPTION Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used.  OPTION may  be  'Tk',  or  left
       blank  for the best available choice.  Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal
       output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of XMLTV::ProgressBar.

       --outputFILE write to FILE rather than standard output.

       --daysN Grab N days.  The default is 7.

       --offsetN Start N days in the future.  The default is to start from today.

       --quiet Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.

       --slow Downloads more details (descriptions, actors...). This means  downloading  a  new  file  for  each
       programme, so it's off by default to save time.

       --cache-slow  If  you  use  the --cache option to speed up thing when you grab data several times a week,
       using this option you will cache only the --slow data, so you shouldn't miss changes in schedules.

       --verbose Prints out verbose information useful for debugging.

       --errors-in-xml Outputs warnings as programmes in the xml file, so  that  you  can  see  errors  in  your
       favorite frontend in addition to the default STDERR.

       --backend Set the backend (or backends) to use. See the examples.

       --version Show the version of the grabber.

       --help Print a help message and exit.

       tv_grab_it --backend skylife --configure
           configures tv_grab_it using only the backend skylife

       tv_grab_it --backend skylife,wfactory --days 1
           grabs one day of data overriding the  default  order  (could  also  be  --backend  skylife  --backend
           wfactory)

       tv_grab_it --cache --slow --days 3
           grabs the full data for the next three days using the default backend order and using a disk cache.
