Usage: owi2plex [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -b, --bouquet              TEXT     The name of the bouquet to parse. If not specified
                                      parse all bouquets.
  -u, --username             TEXT     OpenWebIf username.
  -p, --password             TEXT     OpenWebIf password.
  -h, --host                 TEXT     OpenWebIf host.
  -P, --port                 INTEGER  OpenWebIf port.

Examples

If OpenWebif server is running in 192.168.0.150:80 with no auth and you want to output the file to c:\tmp:

owi2plex -h 192.168.0.150 -o c:\\tmp\\epg.xml

If you have a bouquet called TV and you only want to generate the XMLTV for the channels in that bouquet:

./owi2plex -b TV -h 192.168.0.150 -o /tmp/epg.xml

Scheduling

For now the script doesn't handle scheduling but you can use crontab in Linux or Windows' Task Scheduler. Ensure that the script runs daily after your OpenWebif box has refreshed the EPG.

Depending on your machine and network speed the generation time varies but for my modest set-up it takes about 45 seconds for a bouquet with 100+ channels.
