episoder
EPISODER(1) General Commands Manual EPISODER(1)
NAME
episoder - TV show episode reminder.
SYNOPSIS
episoder [options]
DESCRIPTION
episoder is a tool to tell you about new episodes of your favourite TV shows
Global options
-h Show help and quit.
-c FILE
Use FILE for configuration values (default is ~/.episoder).
-b Update episoder's database
-B Force-update the database, disregard information on when shows were last updated
-v Enable verbose operation
-w Enable very verbose (debug) operation
-V Show program version and quit
-p Show available parsers
-l FILE
Log to FILE instead of stdout
Options for database update
-d [YYYY-MM-DD]
Remove episodes prior to this date (default: yesterday)
-d NUM Remove episodes that aired more than NUM days ago (default: 1)
-i Ignore date (don't remove old episodes), overrules -d
-f FILE
Get data from FILE, ignore configured sources (needs -P)
-P PARSER
Force PARSER to be used (only in combination with -f)
Managing shows
-L Display a list of all shows in episoder's database
-a URL Add the show located at URL to the database
-r ID Remove the show with the number ID from the database
-E ID Enable updates for the show with the number ID
-D ID Disable updates for the show with the number ID
Options for console output
-d [YYYY-MM-DD]
Only show episodes newer than date (default: yesterday)
-d NUM Only show episodes that are less then NUM days old (default: 1)
-i Ignore date (overrules -d and -n)
-n DAYS
Number of future DAYS to show (default: 2). This value is relative to the date set with -d.
-s TEXT
Search the database for TEXT
-C Don't show any colors in the output
CONFIG FILE
The configuration file consists of a section with settings for the program and a list of sources to be used to build the database.
agent=foo
Set the user-agent string to be used by wget (was required when tvtome blocked wget, might not be needed nowadays)
data=/path/to/file
Specifies the file to be used to store the information about upcoming shows. If, instead of a file, you supply a database url (as
expected by sqlalchemy, eg. 'mysql://localhost/episoder'), episoder is going to use that database for storage instead.
src=http://some.web.add/ress
Each src entry specifies a URL with episode information. Make sure you have the appropriate plugin before adding random new URLs
(check with -p). Episoder currently understands the following types of source:
src=http://www.epguides.com/CSI/
src=http://www.tv.com/CSI/show/19/
While this in no longer episoder's way of knowing which shows to parse (see ``Managing shows''), for compatibility reasons all shows listed
in the config file will automatically be added to episoder's show database (as if specified with -a).
format=unquoted format string
This allows you to customize episoder's output. Available fields are:
%airdate The episode's airdate as YYYY-MM-DD
%show Name of the show
%season Current season
%epnum Episode's number in season
%eptitle Title of the episode
%totalep Episode's total number
%prodnum Production number
If undefined, the default value of %airdate %show %seasonx%epnum (eg. "2005-07-29 Monk 4x04") is used.
dateformat=unquoted string describing the format
Here you can define the date format you'd like to be used for the output. To get a list of all possible fields, see date(1).
The default is %a, %b %d, %Y
CRON
You might want to have your episode db rebuilt on a regular basis (i.e. daily). The easiest way to achieve this is with a simple cron job:
crontab -l > crontab
echo "40 5 * * * episoder -b" >> crontab
crontab crontab
FILES
~/.episoder - default configuration file
