NAME

mythnettv - RSS video aggregator for MythTV

DESCRIPTION

mythnettv is a RSS video aggregtor for MythTV. It take downloads video feeds and places them in the recording directory
in MythTV, then makes them accessible with the rest of your
recordings.

This implementation has advantages over other RSS readers for
MythTV in that it:

- ignores the content of the post -- it's all about the video: files
- queues downloads, instead of making them when feeds are added,: or new shows are posted (this stops you from running out of
disk, or having a huge show backlog)

USAGE

(manual usage): url <url> <title> : to download an RSS feed and load the shows
from it into the TODO list. The title is
as the show title in the MythTV user
interface; file <url> <title>: to do the same, but from a file, with a show
title like url above; download <num> : to download that number of shows from the
TODO list. We download some of the oldest
first, and then grab some of the newest as
well.; download <num> <title filter>
: the same as above, but filter to only
download shows with a title exactly
matching the specified filter

download <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter>

: the same as above, but with a regexp title
filter as well

download <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter> justone

: the same as above, but download just one
and then mark all other matches as read
cleartodo : permanently remove all items from the TODO: list
markread <num> : interactively mark some of the oldest <num>: shows as already downloaded and imported
markread <num> <title filter>: : the same as above, but filter to only mark
shows with a title exactly matching the
specified filter; markread <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter>
: the same as above, but with a regexp title
filter as well
(handy stuff): todoremote : add a remote URL to the TODO list. This will
prompt for needed information about the
video, and set the date of the program to
now; todoremote <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>
: the same as above, but don't prompt for
anything

importremote : download and immediately import the named

URL. Will prompt for needed information

importremote <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>

: the same as above, but don't prompt for
anything

importtorrent <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>

: the same as above, but force the URL to be
treated as a torrent. This is useful when
MythNetTV doesn't automatically detect
that the URL is to a torrent file.

importlocal <file>: import the named file, using the title,

subtitle and description from the command
line. The file will be left on disk.

importlocal <file>: import the named file. The file will be

left on disk. Will prompt for needed
information

importmanylocal <path> <regexp> <title>:

import all the files from path matching
regexp. title is use as the title for the
program, and the filename is used as the
subtitle
(subscription management): subscribe <url> <title>
: subscribe to a URL, and specify the show
title

list : list subscriptions
unsubscribe <url> : unsubscribe from a URL
update : add new programs from subscribed URLs to the

TODO list

archive <title> <path>

: archive all programs with this title to the
specified path. This is useful for shows you
download and import, but want to build a
non-MythTV archive of as well

http_proxy <url regexp> <proxy>

: you can choose to use a HTTP proxy for URL
requests matching a given regular expression.
Use this command to define such an entry. This
might be handy if some of the programs you
wish to subscribe to are only accessible over
a VPN.

http_proxy <url regexp> <proxy> <budget mb>

: the same as above, but you can specify the
maximum number of megabytes to download via
the proxy in a given day. To see proxy usage
information, use the proxyusage command.
(reporting): statistics : show some simple statistics about MythNetTV
log : dump the current internal log entries
nextdownload <num>
: if you executed download <num>, what would
be downloaded?

proxyusage : print a simple report on HTTP proxy usage over

the last seven days
(debugging): videodir : show where MythNetTV thinks it should be
placing video files; explainvideodir : verbosely explain why that video directory was
selected. This can help debug when the wrong
video directory is being used, or no video
directory at all is found
