Re: [TV] [Fwd: WGET Script Problem]

[Brian_Dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx (Brian Dorling)]

Andrew,
I basically found what to do on your site and copied it:

#!/bin/bash
#set -x
echo "My BBC WGET Script 27/02/2004 V1.00"


BASE_URL='http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings'
DAYS=-1,1,1
FORMAT=XMLTV
FILE=BZIP2
CHANNELS=bbc1,bbc2,bbc3,bbc4
APPL="For Linux VDR from Germany (brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx)"
LOC=bleb-xmltv.bz2

#echo $BASE_URL
#echo $DAYS
#echo $FORMAT
#echo $FILE
#echo $CHANNELS


TVDATA="$BASE_URL?days=$DAYS&format=$FORMAT&file=$FILE&channels=$CHANNELS"

WGETCMD="wget -U'$APPL' -O'$LOC' '$TVDATA'"
echo ""
echo ""
echo $WGETCMD

$WGETCMD
exit

Cheers Brian
