Hi, there's a new release of the epgsearch plugin. A very big thanks to Mike Constabel for many hours of testing! http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.8b.tgz <http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.0.8.tgz> 2005-11-27: Version 0.9.8 new: ATTENTION: this version converts epgsearch.conf (the file that stores the searches) to a NEW FORMAT. A backup of the old file is stored as epgsearch.conf.bak. If you switch back to an older version you have to move the backup file back to epgsearch.conf. - new feature 'avoid repeats' for search timers, aka 'done' feature (please read the README before using it!). A special thanks to Mike Constabel (vejoun@vdrportal) for many hours of testing and bug reports. * timer preview * recognition of broken recordings * fuzzy event comparision - the menu of search results for a search timer with 'avoid repeats' has an additional mode for key 'blue' to preview the timers, that will be programmed with it. - new setup option to display channels without EPG in 'What's on...', idea from 'Nordlicht's EPG plugin' - new setup option to show channel separators in 'What's on...', idea from 'Nordlicht's EPG plugin' - new feature 'Delete recordings after ... days'. This removes a recording automatically after the given days. It's a nice thing for e.g. news recordings (like Tagesschau), that are only interesting for a few days - the timer summary now contains additional information about the event: event title, subtitle (if present) at the top, the name and ID of the search timer, that triggered the timer, and also the recording channel (after the real summary) at the bottom - the summary of timers that are manually programmed now also contains info about title, subtitle (if present) and the recording channel - 'Execute' in searches menu has been replaced with 'Actions' that list a menu consisting of * Execute search * Use as search timer on/off * Trigger search timer update * Show recordings done You can also use the short keys to trigger the corresponding action without opening this menu - introduced a logfile (default file is plugin-configdir/epgsearch.log, but can be specified with commandline option '-l /path/to/logfile'. Commandline option '-v n' specifies the verbose level of the logfile. n=0 means no logging, allowed values are n=0(default),1(standard),2(extended),3(for debug). - setup has now a default recording directory entry, that is used in manual timer programming. It supports also entries like '%Category%~%Genre%'. The directory gets automatically replaced with the values of the event (but only if all variables were replaced). - depending on the calling menu the event menu (summary) now labels the buttons green/yellow with the previous/next channel or the start of the previous/next event, suggested by Andreas Brugger - the channel number is now also listed in menu 'search results', if the setup option 'show channel numbers' is set, suggested by Gerhard Steiner. - short keys (1,2,...) to EPG commands are now also availabe in the EPG summary menu, suggested by Frank Kr?mmelbein - if VDR version >= 1.3.31 then setup has now an option to choose between epgsearch's timer edit menu and VDR's built-in menu (useful when using a patched VDR timer edit menu, suggested by Frank Kr?mmelbein) - if a subtitle is present the menu for manual timer programming now always adds the subtitle to the timer file as default, suggested by Gerhard Steiner - optimized the splitting of the directory and file entry when re-editing a timer in manual programming, thanks to Andreas Brugger - the EPG menus now always display a subtitle in the form 'title ~ subtitle' if present - new service 'Epgsearch-updatesearchtimers-v1.0' to trigger a search timer update - if a search timer update is triggered from the actions menu then an osd message is displayed when it has finished (also when using the service 'Epgsearch-updatesearchtimers-v1.0' optional) - the menu of search timers now displays the number of (active) searchtimers in its title - now checking if manual timer programming has failed and display an osd message in that case (needs vdr >= 1.3.30 to work) - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for updating the finnish translation - thanks to Mike Constabel for corrections in READMEs and MANUAL fixes: - epgsearch now exits to main menu when not called directly via a short key, thanks to Andreas Brugger - fixed editing menu search term in english translation - fixed sorting search timer list after editing a search timer, thanks to Mike Constabel - fixed menu navigation with respect to empty schedules, thanks to Darren Salt for his patch - fixed misaligned search entries in searches menu, thanks to Andreas Brugger Greets, Christian
