# pyepggrab

Extension / replacement of the original [XMLTV][xmltv].

All grabbers are written following the XMLTV specifications and compatible 
with all XMLTV tools (`tv_find_grabbers`, `tv_validate_*`).

Grabbers found here can be used together with the grabbers found in the
original XMLTV project, and any software uses the original XMLTV project
can use these grabbers without any modification.

To avoid name conflicts, pyepggrab grabbers use the prefix `tv_grab_pyepg_`.

## Installation

If the functionality of `tv_find_grabbers` is required the one in the
original [XMLTV][xmltv] project can be used until we provide an alternative.
(On the [Roadmap](#roadmap))

### From package

pyepggrab is available on PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/pyepggrab/

Install it with your preferred package manager.

For example, with `pip`
```
pip install pyepggrab
```

or with `pipx`
```
pipx install pyepggrab
```

### From source

To install from source, create a wheel package (this requires `hatch`):

```
hatch build
```

and install it with your preferred package manager.

For example, with `pip`
```
pip install dist/pyepggrab-*.whl
```

or with `pipx`
```
pipx install dist/pyepggrab-*.whl
```

## Roadmap

In no particular order

- [x] Upload a package to PyPi
- [x] Write an example grabber to demonstrate the usage of pyepggrab (see [example](example) directory)
- [ ] Write tools to make it standalone (`tv_find_grabbers`, `tv_validate_*`)
