tv_augment [--rule <file>] [--config <file>]
[--input <file>] [--output <file>]

[--debug <level>]

DESCRIPTION¶

Augment an XMLTV xml file by applying corrections ("fixups") to programmes matching defined criteria ("rules").

Two types of rules are actioned: (i) automatic, (ii) user-defined.

Automatic rules use pre-programmed input and output to modify the input programmes. E.g. removing a "title" where it is repeated in a "sub-title" (e.g. "Horizon" / "Horizon: Star Wars"), or trying to identify and extract series/episode numbers from the programme title, sub-title or description.

User-defined rules use the content of a "rules" file which allows programmes matching certain user-defined criteria to be corrected/enhanced with the user data supplied (e.g. adding/changing categories for all episodes of "Horizon", or fixing misspellings in titles, etc.)

(see "perldoc XMLTV::Augment" for more details)

--input FILE read from FILE rather than standard input.

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

--rule FILE file containing the user-defined rules.

--config FILE configuration file containing a list of which rules you want to run.

--nostats do not print the summary log of actions performed, or list of suggested fixups.

--log FILE output the stats to this FILE.

--debug LEVEL print debug info to STDERR (debug level > 3 is not likely to be of much use (it generates a lot of output))
