TVProg 0.6.1

TVProg project is a TV guide software.

TVProg is TV guide software running as a Web server application. It fetches the TV guide source from tvmovie.de and stores it in a MySQL database.

TV shows can be browsed online. Theres also a vcr wrapper script that, running as a cron job, is able to record scheduled tv shows in DivX.

The TVProg package contains a script "list.cgi" that is run as a CGI script to browse the tv guide. You can select channels, do searches or look what is running right now. Theres a detail view for every single tv show.

Cookies are supported for keeping the view properties while browsing.

A cron job script, "vcrwrapper.pl", acts as a wrapper for vcr. Run it every minute and you will have a nice frontend for vcr: In the tv show detail view you can click the record link to schedule it for recording.

There is also a "profile" section where users can subscribe to receive daily tvshow mailings. Also, a user may activate a search, done by a cron job, and receive the search results via email.

This way you can look for a special tvshow or movie without having to look into the listings every day.
