# pyTVGrab

Update as of April 19, 2005 (okay_awright)

## Overview

Please read the Xmltv description. pyTVGrab is an alternative xmltv library and tv_grabbers written in python. It is almost 100% similar in its use to Xmltv.

Once you have successfully configured nxtvepg you are close to a working TV setup for Freevo. Please refer to the configuration section for TV_Channels to complete your setup.

## Installation

### From source

- Download the common python library named pytvgrab-lib-XXX.tar.gz and the grabber specific to your country named pytvgrab-YYY-XXX.tar.gz (where XXX is the current version and YYY a country specific abbreviation)

- dearchive and decompress them in a temporary folder (eg `tar xzvf pytvgrab-lib-XXX.tar.gz -C /tmp` and `tar xzvf pytvgrab-YYY-XXX.tar.gz -C /tmp`)

- enter the common library root directory (eg `cd /tmp/pytvgrab-lib-XXX`) and type `python setup.py install`

- then enter the grabber root directory (eg `cd /tmp/pytvgrab-YYY-XXX`) and type `python setup.py install`

- done!
