       -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
