Not really. The videos need to be in enclosures, which are more
adequately defined here:

In your case though, you might be better off just scripting something up
which calls --todoremote.

The script is written on the assumption that output should be minimal,
so it can run from cron. To see what happened, you can use --log.

You need to run this in stages:

./mythiptv --file /tmp/testrss.xml ABCNews
./mythiptv --download 10

Well, ignoring the bug there (which I will fix), this is because you
need to run the commands separately as shown above.

I'm not sure about this bit. Let me fix the other bugs, and then we'll
see how we go.
