The `-u` flag will prepare & update (& create if not exists) the local `pseudo-channel.db`. The `-xml` flag will update the newly created local db with your schedule from the xml file. The `-g` file will generate the daily schedule (for today). Finally, the `-r` file will run a while loop checking the time / triggering the playstate of any media that is scheduled. It will also update the daily schedule when the clock hits 11.59. The xml schedule is a bit tempermental at the moment so if you see errors, check your entries there first. Make sure all of your movie names / TV Series names are correct.
Features are being added to the xml but as of now there are a few. Within the XML `<time>` entry you are able to pass in various attributes to set certain values. As of now, aside from "title" and "type" which are mandetory, you can take advantage of "time-shift". This parameter accepts values in minutes and can be no lower than "1". If the attribute, "strict-time" is set to "false", then this `<time>` entry will be shifted to a new time based on the previous time with a smaller gap calculated according to the value in "time-shift". Basically, if you do not want any gaps in your schedule you would leave "strict-time" false and set "time-shift" to "1" for all `<time>` entries. However, this will create a schedule with weird start times like, "1:57 PM". Taking advantage of the "time-shift" perameter will correct this. If you set it to a value of "5", all media is shifted and hooked on to a "pretty" time that is a multiple of 5. So if used, rather then having a "Seinfeld" episode being set to "1:57 PM" it may be recalculated and scheduled for "2:00 PM". However, if you would like to make sure that "The Simpsons" will always start every weekday at "6:00 PM" then you can simply set that `<time>` entry to `srtict-time="true"`. This will ensure that despite other non-strict times shifting around, "The Simpsons" will air every weekday at the desired "6:00 PM" as scheduled. currently this functionality will result in unintended empty gaps in the schedule. Soon there will be an option for using user specified "default" media to be injected into the gaps or "commercial" injection - or both.
