To run the console versions no parameters are required:
"xmltvrtc.exe" (Windows)
"./xmltvrtc" (Linux)
To specify a directory to retrieve the configuration from simply add the following to the command line
"/cDirectory"
The directory should be a subdirectory of the main xmltv directory, any configuration files not found in the supplied directory will be taken from the xmltv directory instead. This option is available on both the GUI and console versions and is used in the same way on both versions.
the /Silent switch is also available which prevents the gui from being shown whilst listings are being grabbed
