## How to?
### How to add a channel to the guide?
Open the [/sites](/sites) folder and select the source that you know has the guide for the channel you want.
Then in the selected folder open the file `*.channels.xml` and add to it:
```xml
<channel lang="LANGUAGE_CODE" xmltv_id="CHANNEL_ID" site_id="SITE_ID">CHANNEL_NAME</channel>
<channel site="SITE" lang="LANGUAGE_CODE" xmltv_id="CHANNEL_ID" site_id="SITE_ID">CHANNEL_NAME</channel>
```
| Attribute | Description | Example |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------- |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------- |
| SITE | Site domain name. | `example.com` |
| LANGUAGE_CODE | Language of the guide ([ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) code). | `en` |
| CHANNEL_ID | Channel ID from [iptv-org/database](https://github.com/iptv-org/database). A complete list of supported channels can also be found at https://iptv-org.github.io/. | `BBCOne.uk` |
| SITE_ID | Unique ID of the channel used in the source. | `bbc1` |

After creating all the files we can make sure that the guide loads correctly and has no errors using the command:
```sh
npx epg-grabber --config=sites/example.com/example.com.config.js --channels=sites/example.com/example.com.channels.xml --output=guide.xml --days=2
npm run grab -- --site=example.com
```
If the download is successful, the `guide.xml` file with the ready to use program should appear in the root directory.
After that, all that remains is to commit all the changes and send a pull request.
