RDD 6 extraction: add `frames` suggestion to help #44

Closed thomasheritage closed 7 months ago

thomasheritage commented 9 months ago

frames commandline parameter processing was updated in #38

After discussion with @matthewmarks-bbc: However, it's still difficult for the user to know what the value should be. Perhaps just add a suggested value to the help e.g. 0-500? (why not make it very large like this?) or 0-50?

Is there any automatic checking that a complete description_text value has been extracted?

I've created https://github.com/bbc/bmx/pull/45 that hopefully addresses this issue. It adds 0-500 as an example and the description goes into why a range is needed. There is automatic checking for a complete description text and the extraction process stops if all program description texts are complete.
