XMLTV

A Go library for parsing and generating XMLTV formatted data.

Overview

This package provides Go structures for parsing and generating XMLTV formatted data by implementing all elements of the XMLTV DTD.

XMLTV is an XML-based format widely used in electronic program guides (EPG) for describing TV listings.

Installation

go get github.com/sherif-fanous/xmltv

Usage Examples

Parsing XMLTV Data
package main

import (
    "encoding/xml"
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/sherif-fanous/xmltv"
)

func main() {
    // Read XMLTV file
    data, err := os.ReadFile("epg.xml")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error reading file: %v", err)
    }

    // Parse XMLTV data
    var epg xmltv.EPG
    if err := xml.Unmarshal(data, &epg); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error parsing XMLTV: %v", err)
    }

    // Access the data
    log.Printf("Found %d channels and %d programmes\n", len(epg.Channels), len(epg.Programmes))

    for _, channel := range epg.Channels {
        for _, displayName := range channel.DisplayNames {
            log.Printf("Channel name: %s\n", displayName.Text)
        }
    }
}
Creating XMLTV Data
package main

import (
    "encoding/xml"
    "io/fs"
    "log"
    "os"
    "time"

    "github.com/sherif-fanous/xmltv"
)

func makePointer[T any](t T) *T {
    return &t
}

func main() {
    now := time.Now()

    // Create a new XMLTV document
    epg := xmltv.EPG{
        GeneratorInfoName: makePointer("My Example Generator"),
        Channels: []xmltv.Channel{
            {
                ID: "channel1.example.com",
                DisplayNames: []xmltv.DisplayName{
                    {Text: "Example TV"},
                    {Text: "ETV", Lang: makePointer("en")},
                },
                Icons: []xmltv.Icon{
                    {Source: "https://example.com/logo.png"},
                },
            },
        },
        Programmes: []xmltv.Programme{
            {
                Start:   xmltv.Time{Time: now},
                Stop:    &xmltv.Time{Time: now.Add(30 * time.Minute)},
                Channel: "channel1.example.com",
                Titles: []xmltv.Title{
                    {Text: "Sample Program"},
                },
                Descriptions: []xmltv.Description{
                    {Text: "This is a sample program description."},
                },
                Categories: []xmltv.Category{
                    {Text: "Entertainment"},
                },
            },
        },
    }

    // Marshal to XML
    output, err := xml.MarshalIndent(epg, "", "  ")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error marshaling XMLTV: %v\n", err)
    }

    // Add XML header
    result := []byte(xml.Header + string(output))

    // Write to file
    if err := os.WriteFile("output.xml", result, fs.FileMode(0644)); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error writing file: %v\n", err)
    }

    log.Println("XMLTV file created successfully!")
}
