[mythtv-users] A tv_grab_uk_bleb grabber

[Chris Moore]

Hello,

After several late nights, I've produced "something that works".  It 
isn't pretty.  It's barely tested.  But..

Dependencies: Needs xsltproc and wget.  Both are available with Debian 
natch.

Installation: I put tv_grab_uk_bleb in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.  
Create /usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_bleb and put bleb2xmltv.xsl in it.  
Cos I'm lazy I rm'ed tv_grab_uk and made it a symlink to the bleb version.

Configuration: See the top of the script.

TODO: process the parameters instead of just outputing to $6 (ahem).  
Including getting more than one days worth of data which needs to be 
cached somewhere (under /var?).  Put *all* the URLs in.

I've tested it with mythfilldatabase but only bbc1/2 and itv1/2.  They 
don't appear on the program guide but I can search for stuff and it 
finds them.  Hey, every journey starts with a single step.   License: 
whatever XMLTV uses!   Thanks for this great software btw (both sets of 
developers).

(sleepy) Chris Moore
