+=head1 NAME
+
+F<epgsearchmenu.conf> - Customizing the EPG menus
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The file F<epgsearchmenu.conf> in your plugins config directory is used to store
+the entries for customizing the EPG menus. 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.
