A Docker image with a JSON Schedules Direct enabled script, allowing access to all regions.
XMLTV is a set of programs to process TV (tvguide) listings and manage your TV viewing, storing listings in an XML format. There are backends to download TV listings for several countries, filter programs and Perl libraries to process listings.
For more information visit XMLTV SourceForge page.
XMLTV utilities are provided courtesy of the Debian repository. At the time of writing [0.5.63-2] is the latest version included with Debian Jessie. The image will not work correctly unless the grabber being used is configured. This can be done via the command line or an existing config file dropped in to the config persistent mount point.
/config : This is where XMLTV will store its cache and configuration.
/data : This is the output directory for the EPG data that has been scraped.
- Auto runs grab on startup. Specify number of days using STARTUPDAYS environment variable.
- Days to grab can be configured with DAYS environment variable.
- Grabber to use can be specified with GRABBER environment variable.
- Customisable cron job support.
- Logging support.
- Unix socket support. If the filename is a socket, socat will be used to pipe the grabber's output.
