XMLTV version 0.1
- A program to grab web pages from www.ananova.com for 7 days
of TV listings, London region, and print some XML to
stdout.
- A program to read this XML and convert it to LaTeX source
with time, title and channel. (See poster)
- A CGI script to present a list of programmes and let you
choose whether to watch them. No good reason for it to be a
CGI script except I didn't want to learn to write GUIs.
When choosing what to watch, there are four choices:
never, no, yes and always.
An extension of killfiles to TV shows.
My preferences file.
Analysis.
Writing the XML was done with print statements, parsing it with
DOM. There was also a program to read a DOM tree and remove
programme elements with dates in the past, using
removeElement().
XMLTV version 0.1 released 2000-07-03, according to the
changelog.
Next: implementation language
