TV_EXTRACTINFO_AR(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     TV_EXTRACTINFO_AR(1p)

NAME

       tv_extractinfo_ar - read Spanish (Argentinean) language listings and extract info from programme descriptions.

SYNOPSIS

       tv_extractinfo_ar [--help] [--output FILE] [FILE...]

DESCRIPTION

       Read XMLTV data and attempt to extract information from Spanish-language programme descriptions, putting it into machine-readable form.
       For example the human-readable text '(Repeticion)' in a programme description might be replaced by the XML element <previously-shown>.

       --output FILE write to FILE rather than standard output

       This tool also attempts to split multipart programmes into their constituents, by looking for a description that seems to contain lots of
       times and titles.  But this depends on the description following one particular style and is useful only for some listings sources
       (Ananova).

       If some text is marked with the 'lang' attribute as being some language other than Spanish ('es'), it is ignored.

SEE ALSO

       xmltv(5).

BUGS

       Trying to parse human-readable text is always error-prone, more so with the simple regexp-based approach used here.  But because TV listing
       descriptions usually conform to one of a few set styles, tv_extractinfo_en does reasonably well.  It is fairly conservative, trying to
       avoid false positives (extracting 'information' which isn't really there) even though this means some false negatives (failing to extract
       information and leaving it in the human-readable text).

       However, the leftover bits of text after extracting information may not form a meaningful Spanish sentence, or the punctuation may be
       wrong.

       On the two listings sources currently supported by the XMLTV package, this program does a reasonably good job.  But it has not been tested
       with every source of anglophone TV listings.

       This Spanish Version is heavily customized for the XML results from tv_grab_ar (developed by Christian A. Rodriguez and postriorily updated
       by Mariano S. Cosentino).

       This file should probably be called tv_extractinfo_es, but I have not tested it with any other spanish grabbers, so I don't want to be
       presumptious.

NAME

       tv_grab_es_laguiatv - Alternative TV grabber for Spain.

SYNOPSIS

       tv_grab_es_laguiatv --help

       tv_grab_es_laguiatv [--config-file FILE] --configure [--gui OPTION]

       tv_grab_es_laguiatv [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--days N]
		  [--offset N] [--quiet]

       tv_grab_es_laguiatv --list-channels

       tv_grab_es_laguiatv --capabilities

       tv_grab_es_laguiatv --version

DESCRIPTION

       Output TV listings for spanish channels from www.laguiatv.com.  Supports analogue and digital (D+) channels.  The grabber relies on parsing
       HTML so it might stop working at any time.

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

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

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

       --gui OPTION 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.

       --output FILE Write to FILE rather than standard output.

       --days N Grab N days.  The default is 3.

       --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.

       --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.
