[MPlayer-users] really simple TiVoesque script for UK

[Chris Phillips]

Hi,

I've written a really short and sweet script that oes the following:

1) downloads tv listings for that day (can easily be extended)
2) reads your xawtv config to find the frequencies (NB. Channel names must 
match)
3) let's you choose a program
4) set's mencoder to record it when it starts via the at server

only currently works for UK tv though, would be simple enough to add 
certain other countries, if you can find a tv listings site what will 
provide that information in XML. There's one in Germany that can be used, 
but the one for America (found via XMLTV) doesn't seem to work (anymore?)

maybe this script might be suitable for TOOLS?

if there's anyone else in england reading this!
with a tv card!
