TV_MERGE(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation TV_MERGE(1)

tv_merge - Merge (combine) two XMLTV files.

tv_merge -i FILE -m FILE -o FILE

Read XMLTV listings from two files and merge them together. Unlike tv_cat (which just joins files) this will update (add/replace/delete) the origin XMLTV file with channels and programmes contained in the second file.

It works with multiple channels, and will insert any new programmes and delete any overlapping programmes.

IMPORTANT The input files must be pre-sorted into datetime within channel order by using the "--by-channel" option to tv_sort e.g. tv_sort --by-channel --output FILE FILE

All programmes must have start and stop times.

(Note: Programmes in the merged-in file replace any in the master file, i.e. data are not updated within programmes)

This program uses XML::TreePP which doesn't write <DOCTYPE> definitions in the output file. If you need to add a suitable <DOCTYPE> tag then use the -t parameter. e.g. tv_merge -i FILE -m FILE -o FILE -t

Use "tv_merge -i master.xml -m newadditions.xml -o newmaster.xml" to merge all channels/programmes in newadditions.xml.
