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-0.9.4.tgz What's new? - support for extended EPG info (categories like genre, audio, format) in search timers (please refer to the README 'Using extended EPG info'). - added a submenu to select an existing directory when editing a search timer. This menu can also be extended with entries in the file epgsearchdirs.conf - usage of variables like "%Genre%" or "%Category% in the directory entry of a search timer. These are replaced with the current extended EPG info when a timer is created. - key '0' in search menu now toggles the flag 'use as search timer' - fixed compilation for vdr < 1.3.18 (thanks to TomG@vdrportal) - updated script rememberevent.sh (thanks to Ronny Kornexl for complete rewrite and extensions) - added script epg2master-timer.sh for the commands menu, that adds an event to master-timer, thanks to the author Christian Jacobsen / Viking (vdrportal) - some changes to compile with bigpatch - removed font patch for progressbar, since runtime patch seems to work fine - added a script timerrep.sh to search the repeats of a timer from timer menu (requires the timercmds.conf-patch from Gerhard Steiner, see dir patches) - updated/rearranged README(.DE) and added also a MANUAL (only english) for detailed info about some topics, since README gets too big. - Added a description of the format of epgsearch.conf to MANUAL - fixed a bug with buttons display in search timer edit menu - a special thanks to Mike Constabel (vejoun@vdrportal) for great beta testing and suggestions, and to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation. 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) - detailed epg menu (summary) allows jumping to the next/previous event - support for extended EPG info for search timers Works only for vdr-1.3.x (x>=7). Tested on 1.3.10 to 1.3.24. 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
