EPG Search Integration
-------------------------
-nOpacity fully supports the alternative "schedules" menus provided by the EPG search plugin
-(schedules, what's on now, what's on next, search results, favorites and "user defined times"
-menu). If using the EPG search menus, please set "replace original schedule" to "true",
-parallel usage of the vanilla VDR schedules menu and the schedules menu provided by EPG
-search (with a dedicated main menu entry) is not supported. Please keep also in mind that
-changing the schedules display behaviour needs to restart vdr, because nOpacity reads the
-EPGSearch config only once at startup.
-
-If you use the default settings to display the EPG search schedule menus (if the file
-epgsearchmenu.conf is not available in the epgserarch plugin config directory), everything
-should work rather well out of the box. Just set "show progress in now" to "true" to achieve a
-correct display of the progress bar in the "what's on now" view.
-
-Beside using the default settings you can also set up your own epgsearchmenu.conf file to
-control the information which is diplayed in the various menus. All tokens described in the
-epgsearchmenu.conf file in the epgsearch plugin sources (subdirectory ./conf/) are supported.
-If epgsearchmenu is used, lines for all possible entries have to be set (see list below).
-Otherwise the default epgsearch settings are used.
-For me these entries for the different menus showed the best result:
-
-MenuWhatsOnNow=%chlng%:4|%progrT2S%:5|%time%:8|%status%:3|%title%:15|%subtitle%:25
-MenuWhatsOnNext=%chlng%:4|%time%:8|%status%:8|%title%:15|%subtitle%:25
-MenuWhatsOnElse=%chlng%:4|%time%:8|%status%:8|%title%:15|%subtitle%:25
-MenuSchedule=%time%:8|%status%:8|%title%:15|%subtitle%:25
-MenuSearchResults=%chlng%:12|%time_w% %datesh%:6|%time%:6|%status%:2|%title%:15|%subtitle%:25
-MenuFavorites=%chlng%:4|%time%:8|%status%:8|%title%:15|%subtitle%:25
-WarEagleIcons=1
-
-Per default EPG search provides the short channel name (%chsh%), which is different to the "regular"
-channel name for some channels. If %chsh% is used, for those channels no channel logos are displayed
-if they are not appropriately renamed.
-
-The order of the tokens in the different sections of the epgsearchmenu.conf is not relevant how the
-information in displayed in the skin. In fact the skin displays the various tokens in the way that
-each menu item is displayed in three lines:
-line 1: date and time information, status information
-line 2: title
-line 3: subtitle (if available)
-
-The first line is created out of the following tokens (if set) in this order:
-%time_d% %time_w% %date% %datesh% %time% %timespan% %status% %t_status% %v_status% %r_status%
+Since version 0.0.5 no special epg search integration is done anymore. Replacing the
+original VDR schedules menu with the epg search menus is not possible currently. After the
+epgsearch plugin has implemented the neccessary new VDR features, this will be possible again.
+Use the additional main menu entry for accesing epg search.
+
+Until epg search has not implemented all new VDR features introduced in VDR 1.7.31 - 34, please
+use the patch "epgsearch_menucats.patch" for epg search provided in the ./patches directory
+in the source directory of the skin to grant correct functionality of epg search.
