NAME
tv_merge - Merge (combine) two XMLTV files.SYNOPSIS
tv_merge -iFILE
-m FILE
-o FILE
DESCRIPTION
ReadXMLTV
listings from two files and merge them together.
Unlike tv_cat (which just joins files) this will update (add/replace/delete)
the origin XMLTV
file with channels and programmes contained in the second
file.
It works with multiple channels, and will insert any new programmes and delete any overlapping programmes.
IMPORTANT
The input files must be pre-sorted into datetime within channel order
by using the ``--by-channel'' option to tv_sort
e.g. tv_sort --by-channel --output
FILE
FILE
All programmes must have start and stop times.
(Note: Programmes in the merged-in file replace any in the master file, i.e. data are not updated within programmes)
This program uses XML::TreePP which doesn't write <
DOCTYPE
> definitions in the
output file. If you need to add a suitable <DOCTYPE
> tag then use the -t parameter.
e.g. tv_merge -i
FILE
-m FILE
-o FILE
-t
EXAMPLE
Use "tv_merge -i master.xml -m newadditions.xml -o newmaster.xml" to merge all channels/programmes in newadditions.xml.SEE ALSO
