<p><b>New page</b></p><div>XMLTV comes with a mechanism to update fast changing '''supplementary files''' between releases.<br />
<br />
The files are provided on a central webserver at http://supplement.xmltv.org.<br />
Convieniently the DTD is stored there too, even if it is not fast changing. This enables you to refer the DTD in exported [[XMLTVFormat|XMLTV]] files.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "http://supplement.xmltv.org/xmltv.dtd"><br />
<br />
Grabbers access supplementary files via the module {{manpage|XMLTV::Supplement|3pm}} which takes care of fetching and caching.<br />
<br />
Typical examples of supplementary files are mapping lists for channel ids, categories, etc.</div>Dekarl
