PrevueCLI is a software created by AriX that sends listings data to the Amiga, Commodore, and PC Prevue versions of the Prevue Guide software. The software can convert curday.dat files to CSV listings, as well as convert XMLTV based program information to a readable format by the Prevue software. The latest release of PrevueCLI can be found here on the forums.
The software currently supports Windows, macOS, and Linux (amd64) hosts.
Overview
PrevueCLI simulates the 2400 baud data feed sent over satellite to Prevue Guide units. Listings are either generated from XMLTV files, or created manually by following the CSV format. Configuration information is stored within PrevueCommand files, and can be customized for different units. At this time, listings can be sent over a TCP connection to programs like WinUAE, or over a serial connection. At this time, serial data is limited to macOS only.
