xmltv-druid-0.4.0-4mdv2009.0.noarch.rpm

xmltv-druid is a very simple XMLTV tv_grab program
selector/configurator/deployer.

DEPENDENCIES
------------

xmltv-druid depends on the following libraries:

XMLTV		- http://www.xmltv.org

gtk2-perl       - http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/

libgnomeui	- www.gnome.org

All of these libraries should be available from the linux distribution you
are already using.

INSTALLATION
------------

Nothing special, install the libraries and this program.


WHAT THIS PROGRAM ACTUALLY DOES
-------------------------------

This program presents the user a trivial, very simple configuration 
druid for selecting the appropriate tv_grab program, let's the user
configure the tv_grab program and deploys a cron task to run this
grabber once a day.

The channel selection, i.e. tv_grab_* --configure part, is run in 
a shell so that the more complex tv_grab programs also can function
nicely. Those grabbers that support apiconfig are configured inside
xmltv-druid.

In the end xmltv-druid will create a shell script, ~/.xmltv/run-tv-grab
which is set to the user's crontab and run daily at the time the user
specified. The XMLTV data is stored into ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_*.xml.

When xmltv-druid exists, it will print out to the console the name of the
xmltv data file. This can be used by other programs.
