NAME
clivefeed - the feed parsing utility for clive
SYNOPSIS
clivefeed [option]... [URL]...
DESCRIPTION
clivefeed is an utility that parses RSS feeds containing video page
links and uses clive(1) (or <cclive(1)>) to extract them.
Historically, the feed parsing feature was written in Python/Newt and
was part of clive(1). This feature was originally removed in clive 2.0
and later rewritten in Perl/Tk as part of the clive-utils project which
is a set of additional utilities for clive(1).
OPTION SYNTAX
You may freely mix different option styles, or specify options after
the command-line arguments. For example:
% clivefeed -c /usr/local/bin/clive --opts=mp4 URL -a
You may also put several options together that do not require
arguments. For example:
% clivefeed -aXc /usr/local/bin/clive URL
Which is equivalent to:
% clivefeed -a -X -c /usr/local/bin/clive URL
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Show help and exit.
-v, --version
Show version and exit.
-c, --clive=path
path to clive(1) command. If unspecified, clivefeed will attempt to
locate it in the $PATH. Additionally, the CLIVE_PATH environment
variable can be used.
-o, --opts=opts
opts to append to clive call. See clive(1) for more on the
available options.
-a, --all
Grab all videos without prompting the GUI. Note that users without
X can use this option to workaround the X requirement.
-r, --recall
Recall the last input.
-s, --selected
Re-extract the last video selection.
-p, --paste
Paste URL input data from clipboard.
HTTP Options
-U, --agent=string
Identify as string to the HTTP server. Defaults to "Mozilla/5.0".
-y, --proxy=address
Use address for HTTP proxy, e.g. http://foo:1234. If http_proxy
environment variable is defined, it will be used.
-X, --no-proxy
Do not use the defined HTTP proxy (--proxy, config or http_proxy).
EXAMPLES
Typical use:
% clivefeed
"http://youtube.com/rss/user/communitychannel/videos.rss"
Multiple links:
% cat >> url.lst
http://youtube.com/rss/user/googletechtalks/videos.rss
http://youtube.com/rss/user/theonion/videos.rss
http://youtube.com/rss/user/lisanova/videos.rss
http://youtube.com/rss/user/clipcritics/videos.rss
http://youtube.com/rss/user/communitychannel/videos.rss
http://youtube.com/rss/user/manintheboxshow/videos.rss
% cat url.lst | clivefeed
Set path to clive(1) with video extraction options:
% clivefeed --clive=/usr/local/bin/clive --opts="-f mp4" URL
Grab all found videos without prompting:
% clivefeed --all URL
Note that users without X can also use this.

file. You can override this by setting the CLIVEFEED_HOME environment
variable.
