NAME
mythnettv - RSS video aggregator for MythTV

DESCRIPTION
 mythnettv is a RSS video aggregtor for MythTV. It take
 downloads video feeds and places them in the recording directory
 in MythTV, then makes them accessible with the rest of your
 recordings.
 This implementation has advantages over other RSS readers for
 MythTV in that it:
 - ignores the content of the post -- it's all about the video
   files
 - queues downloads, instead of making them when feeds are added,
   or new shows are posted (this stops you from running out of
   disk, or having a huge show backlog)

USAGE
 (manual usage)
  url <url> <title> : to download an RSS feed and load the shows
                      from it into the TODO list. The title is
                      as the show title in the MythTV user
                      interface
  file <url> <title>: to do the same, but from a file, with a show
                      title like url above
  download <num> : to download that number of shows from the
                      TODO list. We download some of the oldest
                      first, and then grab some of the newest as
                      well.
  download <num> <title filter>
                    : the same as above, but filter to only
                      download shows with a title exactly
                      matching the specified filter
  download <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter>
                    : the same as above, but with a regexp title
                      filter as well
  download <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter> justone
                    : the same as above, but download just one
                      and then mark all other matches as read
  cleartodo : permanently remove all items from the TODO
                      list
  markread <num> : interactively mark some of the oldest <num>
                      shows as already downloaded and imported
  markread <num> <title filter>
                    : the same as above, but filter to only mark
                      shows with a title exactly matching the
                      specified filter
  markread <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter>
                    : the same as above, but with a regexp title
                      filter as well
 (handy stuff)
  todoremote : add a remote URL to the TODO list. This will
                      prompt for needed information about the
                      video, and set the date of the program to
                      now
  todoremote <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>
                    : the same as above, but don't prompt for
                      anything
  importremote : download and immediately import the named
                      URL. Will prompt for needed information
  importremote <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>
                    : the same as above, but don't prompt for
                      anything
  importtorrent <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>
                    : the same as above, but force the URL to be
                      treated as a torrent. This is useful when
                      MythNetTV doesn't automatically detect
                      that the URL is to a torrent file.
  importlocal <file>: import the named file, using the title,
                      subtitle and description from the command
                      line. The file will be left on disk.
  importlocal <file>: import the named file. The file will be
                      left on disk. Will prompt for needed
                      information
  importmanylocal <path> <regexp> <title>:
                      import all the files from path matching
                      regexp. title is use as the title for the
                      program, and the filename is used as the
                      subtitle
 (subscription management)
  subscribe <url> <title>
                    : subscribe to a URL, and specify the show
                      title
  list : list subscriptions
  unsubscribe <url> : unsubscribe from a URL
  update : add new programs from subscribed URLs to the
                      TODO list
  archive <title> <path>
                    : archive all programs with this title to the
                      specified path. This is useful for shows you
                      download and import, but want to build a
                      non-MythTV archive of as well
  http_proxy <url regexp> <proxy>
                    : you can choose to use a HTTP proxy for URL
                      requests matching a given regular expression.
                      Use this command to define such an entry. This
                      might be handy if some of the programs you
                      wish to subscribe to are only accessible over
                      a VPN.
  http_proxy <url regexp> <proxy> <budget mb>
                    : the same as above, but you can specify the
                      maximum number of megabytes to download via
                      the proxy in a given day. To see proxy usage
                      information, use the proxyusage command.
 (reporting)
  statistics : show some simple statistics about MythNetTV
  log : dump the current internal log entries
  nextdownload <num>
                    : if you executed download <num>, what would
                      be downloaded?
  proxyusage : print a simple report on HTTP proxy usage over
                      the last seven days
 (debugging)
   videodir : show where MythNetTV thinks it should be

   explainvideodir : verbosely explain why that video directory was
                      selected. This can help debug when the wrong
                      video directory is being used, or no video
                      directory at all is found
