[Xmltv-devel] TVgrabbers for specific tv channels

[Trond M. <tro...@cr...>]

Hi.

I'm just wondering if there's any interest for grabbers that
only grab a single channel. 

I've made a grabber for TCM Nordic, that, with a little
help from pdftotext, parses the PDF listings available at
http://tcmonline.co.uk/listings/ . The advantage of using
these listings is that they're a lot more detailed than the
listings available from other sources. 

I'm not completely done - I've consentrated on parsing and
XML-output so far. I'll deal with downloading and handling
of command line arguments later. 

Here's what I've got so far, along with some test-input
and -output.

usage: ./tv_grab_tcmnordic.pl tcm_0701.txt

Unfortunately, TCM uses different formats for their PDF
listings for other regions, so this grabber cannot be
easily adapted to any of the other TCM stations.
