TVListings

TVListings is a small web transcoder utility that pulls up to 7 days of UK TV listings from pages on the net into simple HTML pages suitable for further conversion for mobile devices or what-have-you.

STOP PRESS: now working again!


Release Name: tvlistings_v3_0_0
Notes: Working again and with a slant towards plucker for transcoding. There is a two-stage conversion process: firstly, tvlistings.pl pulls 7 days of pages from Ananova. Next, tblext.pl can be used to pull out the channels from each day's table and serialise them using HTML::TableExtract (so you'd better install that fella). The result is an index file and a number of munged output day files that can be converted directly to plucker.
