You specify the look of each menu +(What's on now, What's on next, What's on at ..., Schedule, Search results, +Favorites) with a separate line. + +=head1 EXAMPLE + + MenuWhatsOnNow=%chnr%:3|%progrt2s%:5| %time% %t_status%:8|%category%:6| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35 + MenuWhatsOnNext=%chnr%:3|%time% %t_status%:8|%category%:8| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35 + MenuWhatsOnElse=%chnr%:3|%time% %t_status%:8|%category%:8| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35 + MenuSchedule=%time% %t_status%:8|%genre%:14| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35 + MenuSearchResults=%chnr%:3|%datesh% %time% %t_status%:14|%genre%:8| %title%%colon% %subtitle%:35 + MenuFavorites=%chnr%:3|%datesh% %time% %t_status%:14|%genre%:8| %title%%colon%%subtitle%:35 + +=head1 SYNTAX + +E.g. the entry 'MenuWhatsOnNow' tells epgsearch how you would like to build a +line for the menu 'What's on now'. This would create a menu line starting with +the channel number, followed by a progress bar in text2skin style, a space of +one char, the start time, the timer status, the EPG category (like "movie") +and finally the title and subtitle. + +The values for MenuWhatsOnNext, MenuWhatsOnElse, MenuSchedule, +MenuSearchResults, MenuFavorites specify the menu 'What's on next', 'What's on +at ...', 'Schedule', 'Search results' and 'Favorites' respectively. If you do +not specify one entry, epgsearch uses it's default menu look. + +'MenuSearchResults' has something special: If you want to have different +layouts for your search results depending on the search, you can use more then +one menu template. Simply define e.g. an additional + + MenuSearchResultsTip of the Day=%chnr%:3|%time_w%:4|%t_status%:3|%genre%:10|%title%%colon% %subtitle%:35 + +This will produce an additional menu item "Result menu layout" in the edit +menu of a search where you can choose between the default menu template and your +own templates. In the example above you will get "Tip of the Day" as selection +entry, since epgsearch simply cuts the leading "MenuSearchResults". When you +display the search results the chosen template will be used instead of the +default one. + +The following variables exist: + + %time% - start time in format HH:MM + %date% - start date in format TT.MM.YY + %datesh% - start date in format TT.MM. + %time_w% - weekday name + %time_d% - start day in format TT + %time_lng% - start time in seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 + %title% - title + %subtitle% - subtitle + %t_status% - timer status ('T', 't', 'R') + %v_status% - VPS status + %r_status% - running status + %status% - complete status, the same as + '%t_status%%v_status%%r_status%' + %colon% - the sign ':' + %<epg-category>% - a value from the extended EPG categories, specified in + epgsearchcats.conf, like %genre% or %category% + +for the 'Whats on...' and 'Search results' menu there is also: + + %chnr% - channel number + %chsh% - the short channel name (>=vdr-1.3.15) + %chlng% - the 'normal' channel name + %chdata% - VDR's internal channel representation (e.g. 'S19.2E-1-1101-28106') + %progr% - graphical progress bar (not for menu 'Search results') + %progrT2S% - progress bar in text2skin style (not for menu 'Search results') + +the variables are not case sensitive. + +An entry consists of up to 6 tables separated with '|'. The last entry of +each table should declare the table width in chars, separated with ':'. + +If you use a separator like '~', '-' or '#' to separate items like title or +subtitle, e.g. %title% ~ %subtitle%, and the subtitle is empty, then epgsearch +will try to fix this automatically to avoid a trailing separator. + +You should vary the tab width values to fit your needs, since the look often +depends on the selected skin. epgsearchmenu.conf is not reloaded with every +plugin call, since this is only useful when testing the conf file. To activate +the permanent reload for testing your conf, pass the new start parameter '-r' +or '--reloadmenuconf' in your runvdr. + +There's a sample F<epgsearchmenu.conf> in the subdirectory "conf". For a quick try +copy it to your plugins config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/plugins). + +To enable icons from WarEagleIcon-Patch simply put the line + + WarEagleIcons=1 + +to F<epgsearchmenu.conf>. + +NOTE: As long as there is a file epgsearchmenu.conf with an entry for a special +menu, all setup settings regarding the look of this menu are ignored. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +C<epgsearch(1)> + +=head1 AUTHOR (man pages) + +Mike Constabel <epgsearch (at) constabel (dot) net> + +=head1 REPORT BUGS + +Bug reports (german): + +L<http://www.vdr-developer.org/mantisbt/> + +Mailing list: + +L<http://www.vdr-developer.org/mailman/listinfo/epgsearch> + +=head1 COPYRIGHT and LICENSE + +Copyright (C) 2004-2007 Christian Wieninger + +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or +modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License +as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 +of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
