Hi, here's a new release of the epgsearch plugin. You can find it here: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.0.tgz What's new? 2005-03-19: Version 0.9.0 - new search mode 'regular expressions' (POSIX(default) or Perl compatible by compiler switch HAVE_PCREPOSIX in the Makefile, see README - Installation) - new search mode 'match exactly' to simplify matching of short search terms - new option for search timers: 'only annouce' will not add a timer, but display an OSD message about the found event - new progressbar in 'what's on next', that displays the time span to the next event (0 minutes(=100%) to max. 30 minutes(=0%)) - timer conficts can now be checked in the background and are displayed via OSD after each search timer scan (requires a recent timeline plugin running) - key blue in search results now toggles between "only FTA" and "all channels" (to hide results from pay tv channels) - removed some superfluous search timer modifications - finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg - updated README and added a description of the search process - shifted version number to allow subversions What is it about? EPG-Search can be used as a replacement for the default schedules menu entry. It looks like the standard schedules menu, but adds some additional functions: - Commands for EPG entries with 5 built-in commands like 'show repeats', 'create search'. One can add own commands for other needs, like adding a VDRAdmin auto-timer. - Add up to 4 user-defined times to 'now' and 'next' - Searching the EPG: Create reusable queries, which can also be used as 'search timers'. - Search timers: Search for broadcasts in the background and add a timer if one matches (similar to VDRAdmin's auto-timers) or simply make an annoucement about it via OSD - Progress bar in 'What's on now' and 'What's on next' - Shift the time displayed by keypress, e.g. 'What's on now' + 30 minutes - Start menu can be setup between 'Schedule' or 'What's on now' - background check for timer conflicts (requires a recent timeline plugin) Works only for vdr-1.3.x (x>=7). Tested on 1.3.10 to 1.3.21. Parts of the sources are based on the repeating-EPG patch from Gerhard Steiner, who gave me the permission to use them (thanks for his work!). Best regards, Christian
