-createcats(5) Epgsearch Version 0.9.24.beta9 createcats(5)
-
-
-
-NAME
- createcats - helps you creating your own epgsearchcats.conf
-
-SYNOPSIS
- createcats [OPTIONS] /path_to/epg.data
-
-DESCRIPTION
- This tool is deliverd with the plugin and should exist in the plugins
- source directory after compilation. It helps you in creating your own
- epgsearchcats.conf, if the samples in directory ’conf’ don’t fit your
- needs.
-
- createcats takes your epg.data as argument and scans it for suitable
- EPG infos. Such an info is a set of a category name and a coresponding
- value at the beginning of a line (represented with ’|’) and has the
- form ’|category: value’, e.g.
-
- |Genre: Action
-
- So simply call it with
-
- createcats /path_to/epg.data
-
- The output is a file epgsearchcats.conf, that should be copied to your
- plugins config dir. Before using it, you should do some customizing,
- since not all things in the file will be suitable to be used as
- extended EPG info.
-
-OPTIONS
- The full set of arguments is:
-
- usage: createcats [OPTIONS] /path_to/epg.data
-
- -m N, --minappearance=N the minimum number a category has to appear
- to be used
- -v N, --maxvalues=N values of a category are omitted if they exceed
- this number
- -l N, --maxlength=N the maximum length of a text to be accepted
- as a category value
- -h, --help this help
-
- Some notes:
-
- -m N, --minappearance=N
- createcats counts how often a category is used in your current
- epg.data. If this is less than N, then this category will not be
- part of the resulting epgsearchcats.conf.
-
- -v N, --maxvalues=N
- if the number of values for a category is more than N then create‐
- cats will not output a value list for this category. As a conse‐
- quence in epgsearch the menu item gets an edit item, that can be
- filled with every text. Else, the item gets a selection item, that
- lets you select from a list of values.
-
- -l N, --maxlength=N
- if the text length of a value is more than N, this value is not
- part of the value list.
-
- Hint: Results are best, if your current EPG is as big as possible. So
- update it, if you are using an external EPG provider, before calling
- createcats.
-
- Please edit this file now, since it will contain also things not suit‐
- able.
-
- After that copy it to your plugins config directory.

-NAME
- epgsearch - Searchtimer and replacement of the VDR program menu
-
-OVERVIEW
- EPG-Search can be used as a replacement for the default schedules menu
- entry. It looks like the standard schedules menu, but adds some addi‐
- tional 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’ and an optional
- favorites menu
-
- - 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 announcement about it via OSD
-
- - Avoid double recordings of the same event
- * timer preview
- * recognition of broken recordings
- * fuzzy event comparison
-
- - Progress bar in ’What’s on now’ and ’What’s on next’
-
- - Shift the time displayed by key press, 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 with a timer conflict manager
-
- - detailed EPG menu (summary) allows jumping to the next/previous
- event
-
- - support for extended EPG info for search timers
-
- - extension of the timer edit menu with a directory item, user
- defined weekday selection and a subtitle completion.
-
- - Timer conflict check, informs you over the OSD about conflicts
-
- - Timer conflict menu, show detailed information about the conflicts
- and let you resolve them
-
- - Email notifications about search timer updates and timer conflicts
-
- Works only with >= vdr-1.3.46 or newer.
-
- Parts of the sources are based on the repeating-ECG patch from Gerhard
- Steiner, who gave me the permission to use them. Thanks for his work!
-
-OPTIONS
- -f file, --svdrpsendcmd=file
- the path to svdrpsend.pl for external SVDRP communication (default
- is internal communication, so this is usually not needed anymore)
-
- -c path, --config=path
- to specify a specific config directory for all epgsearch config
- files, default is ’<plugins configuration directory>/epgsearch’
-
- -l file, --logfile=file
- to specify a specific log file for epgsearch (default log file is
- epgsearch.log in the epgsearchs config directory)
-
- -v n, --verbose=n
- verbose level for log file. Value 0 means no logging. Other values
- are 1 (general messages), 2 (detailed messages), 3 (planned for
- extra detailed info for debugging purposes)
-
- -r, --reloadmenuconf
- reload epgsearchmenu.conf with plugin call. This can be useful when
- testing customized menu layouts.
-
- -m file, --mailcmd=file
- the external command to be used for mail delivery. The default uses
- ’sendEmail.pl’. If you are using a different command or script make
- sure that it has the same parameter interface as sendEmail.pl.

-
-1. Description
- At first glance EPG-Search looks like the schedules menu entry of VDR.
- By pressing the key ’0’, one can toggle the bottom color keys to access
- additional functions (the default assignment of the color keys can be
- adjusted by setup):
-
- 1.1 Menu Commands
-
- This menu displays commands that can be executed on the current item.
- There are 8 built-in commands:
-
- - Repeats: Searches for repeats
-
- - Record
-
- - Switch
-
- - Create search
- Switches to search menu and adds a new search with the name of the current
- item (to avoid editing the name manually)
-
- - Search in recordings:
- Search the recordings for a broadcast with the same name
-
- - Mark as ’already recorded’:
- This puts the selected event in the file epgsearchdone.data and instructs
- epgsearch to avoid recording this event if an according search timer is set
- to "avoid repeats". An already created timer will be automatically removed
- with the next search timer update.
-
- - Add/Remove to/from switch list?:
- Controls the switch list. If there is an event in the switch list, epgsearch
- will announce it and switch to the event before it starts. To access the
- complete switch list, call ’Search/Actions/Switch list’.
-
- - Create blacklist:
- A blacklist is used to ignore events when using search timers. A search
- timer can be setup to ignore events from arbitrary blacklists.
-
- You can add your own commands to this menu by editing the file
- epgsearchcmds.conf in epgsearchs config directory. There’s a sample
- conf file with some sample commands (see directory ’scripts’, taken
- from vdr-wiki.de, thanks to the authors).
-
- The format of the file is the same as VDR’s commands.conf or rec‐
- cmds.conf. When a command is executed the following parameters are
- passed to it:
-
- $1: the title of the EPG entry
- $2: the start time of the EPG entry as time_t value (like in the
- shutdown script)
- $3: the end time
- $4: the channel number of the EPG entry
- $5: the long channel name of the EPG entry
- $6: the subtitle of the EPG entry, "" if not present
-
- To execute a command from the main menu you can also press its associ‐
- ated number without opening the commands menu.
-
- 1.2 Menu search
-
- Here you can add, edit, delete and execute your own queries on the EPG.
- The usage and behavior of this menu is similar to VDR’s timer menu.
-
- 1.2.1 Menu edit search
-
- Most things in this menu are quite clear, so only some notes on:
-
- - Search term:
- The term to search for. If you like to search for more words, sepa‐
- rate them by blanks. Leaving this empty (combined with search mode
- ’Phrase’) will match anything. This is useful, if you search e.g.
- for anything that starts between some times on a specific channel.
-
- With ’blue’ you can also select a template for the new search. If
- one of the templates is set to default, new searches will automati‐
- cally get the settings of the default template.
-
- Note: fuzzy searching is limited to 32 chars!
-
- - Search mode:
- ’Phrase’ searches for the expression within the EPG. ’All words’
- requires, that each word of the expression occurs in the EPG item.
- ’at least one word’ requires, that only one word occurs in the EPG
- item. ’Match exactly’ requires, that your search term matches
- exactly the found title, subtitle or description.
-
- With ’Regular expression’ you can setup a regular expression as
- search term. You don’t need a leading and trailing ’/’ in the
- expression. By default these are POSIX extended regular expres‐
- sions. If you like to have Herl compatible regular expression,
- simply edit the plugins Makefile and uncomment #HAVE_PCREPOSIX=1 to
- HAVE_PCREPOSIX=1 (you will need pcreposix installed, comes with
- libpcre from www.pcre.org, but it’s already part of most distribu‐
- tions).
-
- See also epgsearch(4) ’Description of the search process’.
-
- - Use extended EPG info:
- Only available if configured, see below ’Using extended EPG info’.
-
- - Ignore missing categories:
- If set to ’Yes’ this tells epgsearch that a missing EPG category
- should not exclude an event from the results. Caution: Using this
- without any other criterions could flood your timers.
-
- - Use channel:
- Search only for events in the given channels interval, channel
- groups or FTA channels only.
-
- Channel groups (e.g. sport channels or Pay-TV channels) can be man‐
- aged with a sub-menu called with ’blue’.
-
- ATTENTION: After changing the channels order please check the set‐
- tings of your search timers!
-
- - Use day of week:
- Besides the weekdays you can also set up a user-defined selection,
- e.g. search only on Monday and Friday.
-
- You’ll find the user-defined selection in the list after Friday.
-
- - Use blacklists:
- You can select one or more or all blacklists here. If any search
- result is also contained in one of the selected blacklists it will
- be skipped.
-
- - Use in favorites menu:
- Only available if turned on in setup. With this option you can mark
- a search to be used in the favorites menu. The search results of
- all these searches are listed in the favorites menu.
-
- - Result menu layout:
- Only available if you have defined more than one menu template for
- search results in epgsearchmenu.conf. This option is used to assign
- a different menu layout for the search results of this search.
-
- - Use as Search Timer:
- If set to yes, the plugin will do a background scan of the EPG in
- certain intervals and add a timer, if there is a match. You have to
- activate the ’search timers’ in the setup. If set to "user defined"
- one can specify time margins with key ’blue’ where the search timer
- is active or not.
-
- - Action:
- Default action is creating a timer for the search results. But you
- can also choose to simply announce the found event via OSD or to
- switch to the event one minute before it starts.
-
- - Serial recording:
- If set to yes, the recordings will be stored in a folder with the
- name of the broadcasting and the recordings itself will have the
- name of the episode. If there is no episode name, the date and time
- of the recording will be used.
-
- - Directory:
- Here you can assign a directory, where the recording should be
- stored, e.g. ’SciFi’. Use the key ’blue’ to select directory
- entries already used in other search entries or given by entries in
- the file epgsearchdirs.conf (simply place your directories here one
- at each line without the leading video directory, also see MANUAL).
- If your provider delivers extended EPG infos you can also use vari‐
- ables like "%Genre%" or "%Category%" in your directory entry. These
- are replaced with the current EPG info, when a timer is created.
-
- See also epgsearch(4) ’Using variables in the directory entry of a
- search timer’.
-
- - Delete recordings after ... days:
- Some recordings should only be kept for a few days, like news. With
- this feature you can tell epgsearch to delete them automatically
- after ... days.
-
- - Pause if ... recordings exist:
- If the given numbers of recordings currently exists, then epgsearch
- will not create further timers. After deleting one or more record‐
- ings it will go on generating new timers.
-
- - Avoid repeats:
- If you don’t want to record repeats, this feature tries to check if
- an event was already recorded/programmed and skips it. Please refer
- to the section ’Avoid repeats - internals’ below before using it.
-
- - Allowed repeats:
- If you like to accept a certain amount of repeats you can give here
- their number.
-
- - Only repeats within ... days:
- Give here the number of days a repeat has to follow its first
- broadcast. 0 is equal to no restriction.
-
- - Compare title:
- When comparing to events then specify here if the title should be
- compared.
-
- - Compare subtitle:
- When comparing to events then specify here if the subtitle should
- be compared. If there is no subtitle than this event is always dif‐
- ferent to an event with/without a subtitle.
-
- - Compare description:
- When comparing to events then specify here if the description
- should be compared.
-
- For comparison all parts of the description, that look like a cate‐
- gory value, are removed first. The remaining text will be compared.
- If this is similar at 90% (regarding the Levinshtein-Distance algo‐
- rithm) then it will be accepted as equal.
-
- - Compare categories:
- With the button ’setup’ you can also specify which categories
- should be compared. As with subtitles an event is different if it
- has no according category value.
-
- - Priority, lifetime, margins for start and stop:
- Each search timer can have its own settings for these parameters.
- Defaults can be adjusted in the plugins setup.
-
- - VPS:
- If set to yes, VPS is used, but only, if activated in VDR’s setup
- menu and if the broadcasting has VPS information.
-
- - Auto delete:
- to automatically delete a search timer if the following is true:
-
- * after x recordings, or
- * after x days after the first recording
-
- Only complete recordings are counted. The deletion is executed
- directly after the correspondig recording
-
- To toggle the flag ’Use as search timer’ without editing the search
- entry you can use the key ’2’. This will call directly the second com‐
- mand of the command menu.
-
- 1.2.2 Menu search results
-
- This menu displays the search results. A ’T’ lets you know, that there
- is already a timer for the event. A ’t’ means that there’s only a par‐
- tial timer for it, as in standard schedules menu.
-
- 1.3 Extended ’now’ and ’next’ and favorites
-
- By setup, one can add up to 4 additional times to extend the green but‐
- ton, e.g. ’afternoon’, ’prime time’, ’late night’. Times, that are
- already passed, are skipped (you will not get ’afternoon’ at evening)
- with the exception that a time will be displayed for the next day, if
- it is less then 20h in the future. In these menus you can shift the
- currently displayed time by pressing FastRew or FastFwd to move back
- and forward in time. If you don’t have these keys on your remote, you
- can access this function by pressing ’0’ to toggle the green and yellow
- button to ’<<’ and ’>>’. This toggling can be adjusted by setup.
-
- You can display a progress bar in ’now’ and ’next’. When using
- text2skin you should use the setup option "text2skin" in the setup
- option "Show progress in ’Now’"/Show progress in ’Next’" (the setting
- ’graphical’ may also work with text2skin, but this depends on the
- selected skin).
-
- Furthermore you can enable in the setup an favorites list. You can con‐
- figure your searchtimers ("Use in favorite list") to display their
- results in you favorite list. This list display event in the next 24
- hours ordered by time.
-
- 1.4 Menu setup
-
- 1.4.1 General
-
- - Hide main menu entry:
- This hides the main menu entry ’search’. Attention: when the plugin
- is assigned to key ’green’ then hiding the plugin will give you
- VDR’s standard schedule menu (see below to avoid this).
-
- - Main menu entry:
- If not hidden, the name of main menu entry can be set here. Default
- is ’Program guide’. Note: If you set it to something different from
- the default then the main menu entry is no longer dependent on the
- OSD language. Setting it back to default or empty restores this
- behavior again.
-
- - Start menu:
- Select the starting menu ’Schedules’ or ’Now’
-
- 1.4.2 EPG menus
-
- - Ok key:
- Choose here the behavior of key ’Ok’. You can use it to display the
- summary or to switch to the corresponding channel. Note: the func‐
- tionality of key ’blue’ (Switch/Info/Search) depends on this set‐
- ting.
-
- - Red key:
- Select if you like to have Standard (’Record’) or ’Commands’ as
- assignment for key ’red’.
-
- - Blue key:
- select if you like to have Standard (’Switch’) or ’Search’ as
- assignment for key ’blue’.
-
- - Show progress in ’Now’:
- In the menu ’what’s on now’ you can display a progress bar, that
- displays the progress of the current item. When using text2skin you
- should use the setup option "text2skin" (the setting ’graphical’
- may also work with text2skin, but this depends on the selected
- skin).
-
- - Show channel numbers:
- Select this if you like to have a leading channel number before
- each item in the EPG menus.
-
- - Show channel separators:
- Display channel group separators between channel in the menus
- ’Overview now’,...
-
- - Show day separators:
- Display a day separator between events on different days in the
- schedule menu.
-
- - Show radio channels:
- Also list radio channels.
-
- - Limit channels from 1 to:
- If you have a large channel set you can speed up things when you
- limit the displayed channels with this setting. Use ’0’ to disable
- the limit. If the current channel is above the limit, the limit is
- ignored and all channels will be displayed again.
-
- - ’One press’ timer creation:
- If set to ’yes’ a timer is immediately created when pressing
- ’Record’ as introduced in vdr-1.3.38, else the timer edit menu is
- displayed.
-
- - Show channels without EPG:
- Display channels without EPG to allow switching or create a timer.
-
- - Time interval for FR/FF [min]:
- In the menus ’now’, ’next’, ’user def 1’, ... you can shift the
- displayed time by pressing FastRew, FastFwd on your remote control.
- Adjust the amount of minutes to jump here.
-
- - Toggle Green/Yellow:
- If you don’t have FastRew, FastFwd on your remote control, set this
- to yes. When pressing ’0’ in the menus, this toggles the assignment
- of the color keys and assigns e.g. ’<<’ and ’>>’ to ’green’ and
- ’yellow’.
-
- - Show favorites menu:
- A favorites menu can display a list of your favorite broadcasts.
- Enable this if you want an additional menu besides ’Now’ and
- ’Next’. You can choose between displaying this menu before or after
- the menus with user-defined times. Any search can be used as a
- favorite. You only have to set the option ’Use in favorites menu’
- when editing a search.
-
- - for the next ... hours:
- This value lets you adjust the timespan used to display the
- favorites.
-
- 1.4.3 User-defined EPG times
-
- - Use user time 1..4:
- Add up to 4 user-defined times besides ’now’ and ’next’.
-
- - Description:
- Name of the user-defined time, e.g. ’Afternoon’, ’Prime time’,
- ’Late night’.
-
- - Time:
- The associated time of the user-defined time.
-
- 1.4.4 Timer programming
-
- - Use VDR’s timer edit menu:
- When programming a standard timer epgsearch uses an extended menu,
- that also supports a directory item, user defined weekday selection
- and subtitle completion. If you are using a patched version of VDR,
- that also has an extended timer edit menu and like to use this menu
- rather than epgsearch’s then set this option to ’Yes’.
-
- - Default recording directory:
- This entry will be used in standard timer programming as default
- directory. You can also use EPG category variables (e.g. ’My
- Movies~%Category%~%Genre%’). When the timer edit menu is launched
- epgsearch tries to replace all variables with the values found in
- the description of the event. If not all variables could be
- replaced then the directory item is left blank.
-
- - Add episode to manual timers:
- When manually adding a timer epgsearch can automatically add the
- episode name to the timer file resulting in a sub-folder for the
- later recording, that is named with the episode name. Choose here
- how this should be done. ’smart’ tries to recognize if this makes
- sense. Therefore it checks the length of the event and skips the
- subtitle if the event has more than 80min.
-
- - Default timer check method:
- Manual timers can be checked for EPG changes. Here you can setup
- the default check method for each channel. The following methods
- exist:
- * no check
- * by event ID: checks by an event ID supplied by the channel
- provider.
- * by channel and time: check by the duration match.
-
- Not all channels provide a proper event ID, so you can setup the
- default for each channel here. When programming a manual timer,
- this default use used in epgsearch’s own timer edit menu.
-
- 1.4.5 Search and search timers
-
- - Use search timers:
- If yes, the plugin makes a background scan of the EPG and adds
- timers if it finds matching entries. This applies only to searches
- that are marked with ’use as search timer’.
-
- - Update interval:
- The update interval of the background scan for search timers in
- minutes.
-
- - SVDRP port:
- If you are using a SVDRP port other than 2001 then enter this here
- to get the search timers working.
-
- - Default Priority:
- Default priority of generated timers.
-
- - Default Lifetime:
- Default lifetime of generated timers.
-
- - Margin at start/stop:
- Default margins of generated timers.
-
- - No announcements when replaying:
- suppress event announcements while any replay is active.
-
- - Recreate timers after deletion:
- epgsearch remembers by default which timers where already created
- by search timers and will not recreate them if they were removed.
- To disable this behaviour set this to ’Yes’.
-
- Default margins of generated timers.
-
- - Ignore Pay-TV channels:
- Set this to ’Yes’ if you don’t want to have events from Pay-TV
- channels when searching for a repeat.
-
- - Search templates:
- Here you can manage search templates which can be used when creat‐
- ing a search.
-
- - Blacklists:
- Here you can manage blacklists which can be used to suppress
- unwanted events within a search.
-
- - Channel groups:
- Here you can setup channel groups (e.g. Sport channels, Pay-TV
- channels) that can be used as criterion in searches. The same can
- be done in the search edit menu.
-
- Important: if you get your EPG from external sources make sure that
- search timer updates are disabled while your EPG is updated. The reason
- for this is that epgsearch will remove timers without events assigned
- to them. This situation can exist while the new EPG is feeded to VDR. A
- simple way to disable search timer updates is to use the SVDRP command
- SETS in your EPG update script:
-
- svdrpsend.pl plug epgsearch SETS off
-
- <your EPG update script>
-
- svdrpsend.pl plug epgsearch SETS on
-
- 1.4.6 Timer conflict checking
-
- - Ignore below priority:
- If a timer will fail with a priority below the given value, you
- won’t get an OSD message about this and the conflict will be clas‐
- sified as ’not relevant’ in the conflicts overview.
-
- - Ignore conflict duration less ... min.:
- If a conflict will last only the given minutes it will not produce
- an OSD message and the conflict will be classified as ’not rele‐
- vant’ in the conflicts overview.
-
- - Only check within next ... days:
- Here you can specify the day range that should be used for the con‐
- flict check.
-
- - After each timer programming:
- This performs a conflict check after each manual timer programming
- and - if the new/modified timer is involved in a conflict - pops up
- an OSD message about it.
-
- - "When a recording starts:
- Set this to ’yes’ if the conflict check should be performed when a
- recording starts. In the case of a conlfict you get immediately a
- message that informs you about it. The message is only displayed
- if the conflict is within the next 2 hours.
-
- - After each search timer update:
- Specify here if you want to have a conflict check after each search
- timer update. If set to ’No’:
-
- - every ... minutes:
- performs a conflict check in the background every ... minutes and
- informs about relevant conflicts via OSD. Set this to ’0’ to
- disable this feature.
-
- - if conflicts within next ... minutes:
- - every ... minutes:
- if you like to have a more frequent check and OSD notification
- when a conflict appears within the given time, use this fea‐
- ture.
-
- - Avoid notification when replaying:
- Set this to ’yes’ if the don’t want to get OSD messages about con‐
- flicts if you currently replay something. Nevertheless messages
- will be displayed if
- the first upcoming conflict is within the next 2 hours.
-
- Also have a look at epgsearch(4), section ’Working with the timer con‐
- flict menu’.
-
- 1.4.7 Email notification
-
- Please make sure, that ’sendEmail.pl’ is in the path of your executa‐
- bles and that the ’epgsearchupdmail.templ’ and ’epgsearchcon‐
- flmail.templ’ exists in epgsearch’s configurations directory!
-
- - Search timer notification:
- Enable this, if you want to get an email notification, when the
- search timer background thread has
-
- - created a new timer
- - modified an existing timer
- - deleted a timer, that was void because of EPG changes or other user
- actions.
-
- (Also requires ’Use search timers’ in the search timer setup to be
- activated.)
-
- - Timer conflict notification:
- Enable this, if you want to get an email notification about timer
- conflicts. The notification will only include ’relevant’ conflicts
- as specified in the timer conflict setup. epgsearch will always
- send a new notification if there is any change in the current con‐
- flicts.
-
- (Also requires ’After each search timer update’ or ’every ... min‐
- utes’ in the conflict check setup to be activated.)
-
- - Send to:
- The mail adress of the recipient. Note: Some providers (like Arcor)
- don’t allow the same adresse for sender and recipient.
-
- - Mail method:
- You can choose between:
-
- - sendEmail.pl: this is a simply script shipped with epgsearch, that allows
- mail delivery also on systems without a configured mail server. Please
- copy it to your $PATH
- - sendmail: requires a properly configured mail system
-
- - Email address:
- Your full(!) email account address to be used for sending the mail.
-
- - SMTP server:
- The name of your SMTP server to be used for sending the mails.
-
- - Use SMTP authentication:
- Select ’yes’ if your account needs authentication to send mails.
-
- - AUTH user:
- Specify the accounts username if your account needs authentication.
-
- - AUTH password:
- Specify the accounts password if your account needs authentication.
- Note: The password is saved as plain text. You have to make sure on
- your own that your system is safe and no VDR configurations files
- are visible to non authorized persons.
-
- After the account setup, check if it works with ’Test’. If you are
- using ’sendEmail.pl’ for mail delivery, there should be something like
- ’Email sent successfully’ at the end of the test output. The test func‐
- tion is not available for method ’sendmail’.
-
- Also have a look at epgsearch(4), section ’Email notifications’.
-
-2. Search timers
- This is quite the same as VDRAdmin’s auto-timers, but needs no external
- software. When you create a search, you can give it an option to use it
- as search timer. Now the plugin scans EPG entries in certain update
- intervals (->setup) in the background and creates timers if there are
- matching entries. If you don’t like to get a new timer, but only want
- to be informed about the event set ’Announce only (no timer)’ to yes.
- Since these search timers are quite useful for serials, you can set the
- option ’serial recording’ in a search, which creates timers whose
- recordings are stored in a folder with the serials name and whose
- entries are named with the episode name. If there is no episode name,
- the plugin names the recording with a date/time string.
-
- To use search timers, you also have to activate them in the plugins
- setup. Also edit the SVDRP port, if you are not using the default
- 2001.
-
- If you want to trigger a background scan manually simply
-
- touch /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch/.epgsearchupdate
-
- This can also be part of your shutdown script. (Add here a sleep after‐
- wards to give the plugin the time to finish the scan.)
-
- For more info about searchtimers please refer to epgsearch(4),
- ’Description of the search process’ and ’How do Search Timers work?’
-
- 2.1 ’Avoid repeats’ - internals
-
- This section explains the feature ’Avoid repeats’ for a search timer.
- Sometimes one cannot avoid double recordings of an event only by set‐
- ting the corresponding search criterions.
-
- Therefore the feature ’avoid repeats’ tries to check before creating a
- timer, if the same event was already recorded in the past or if there
- is a timer that records the same event. If so, there will be no new
- timer for the event.
-
- 2.2 How do we compare two events?
-
- To check if two events are the same there are many possible settings
- for a search timer. You can choose the title, subtitle, description or
- extended EPG categories within the description of an event to be com‐
- pared with the elements of another event.
-
- This comparison is always done case-sensitive and for the whole term.
- But the description of an event makes an exception of this. First all
- text within the description will be truncated that looks like an
- extended category entry, e.g. ’Rating: tip’. An extended category entry
- is a line of text beginning with max. 40 signs, followed by ’:’ and
- ending with max. 60 further signs. The reason for this cutting is that
- some categories like the rating of an event are not part of the
- description of the repeat of the same event.
-
- The remaining text will now be compared by length. If the difference is
- bigger then 90%, then we rate the description of the two events as dif‐
- ferent. If not, we apply the Levinsthein-Distance-Algorithm (LD), which
- makes a fuzzy text comparison. We accept the description of the events
- as equal, if LD returns a match of more then 90%. Since LD is quite
- runtime intensive (O(mn)), you should not choose ’compare description’
- as the only comparison criterion, but combine it always with other cri‐
- terions.
-
- 2.3 How and when do we compare?
-
- As already mentioned each search timer update checks search timers with
- this feature for recordings in the past or an already existing timer
- for the same event.
-
- To remember past recordings epgsearch stores their info in the file
- epgsearchdone.data. You can have a look at the contents of this file
- calling ’show recordings done’ in the ’actions’ of the searches menu.
- This file only stores info about recordings that are complete, i.e.
- that started and stopped just in time. So a broken recording will not
- be stored in this file and epgsearch will automatically try to record
- the next repeat, if there is any.
-
- How to use it?
-
- As you see, the whole feature depends on the quality of the EPG. After
- creating such a search timer, you should first check if it does what is
- intended. Therefore the menu of search results has an additional mode
- for the key ’blue’ named ’Timer preview’. Here you can see, what timers
- the next update would create. Existing timers are labeled with ’T’,
- future timers with ’P’.
-
- Hint: If the programming results in a conflict simply disable the con‐
- flicting timer in the timers menu. The next search timer update, will
- try to program a different timer for the same event, if it exists.
-
- When it works not correctly :-)
-
- To get a better control of the programming or not-programming of the
- timers when using this feature a log file was introduced. When starting
- epgsearch with the command line option ’-v n’ where n is the log level
- than you get additional info in the file epgsearch.log. Available log
- levels are 0 (no logging) to 3 (extended logging). See also the manual
- for the command line options.
-
-3. Usage from other plugins or scripts
- See epgsearch(4).
-
-4. Using extended EPG info
- Some EPG providers deliver additional EPG information like the type of
- event, the video and audio format, cast,...
-
- Using tvm2vdr or epg4vdr you can import this into vdr. To use this
- information with search timers one has to configure it with the file
- epgsearchcats.conf in epgsearchs config directory. The format of the
- file is as follows:
-
- ID|category name|name in menu|values separated by ’,’(option)|search mode(option)
-
- - ’ID’ should be a unique positive integer
- (changing the id later on will force you to re-edit your search timers!)
- - ’category name’ is the name as delivered by the EPG provider, e.g. ’Genre’
- - ’name in menu’ is the name displayed in epgsearch.
- - ’values’ is an optional list of possible values
- - ’search mode’ specifies the search mode:
- text comparison:
- 0 - the whole term must appear as substring
- 1 - all single terms (delimiters are ’,’, ’;’, ’|’ or ’~’)
- must exist as substrings. This is the default search mode.
- 2 - at least one term (delimiters are ’,’, ’;’, ’|’ or ’~’)
- must exist as substring.
- 3 - matches exactly
- 4 - regular expression
- numerical comparison:
- 10 - less
- 11 - less or equal
- 12 - greater
- 13 - greater or equal
- 14 - equal
- 15 - not equal
-
- Sample files for epgsearchcats.conf are delivered with the plugin in
- the directory ’conf’.
-
- Simply copy the one that fits for you to epgsearchs configurations
- directory filename epgsearchcats.conf and then have a look to the
- search timers edit menu (after a restart of VDR).
-
- Since setting up a new epgsearchcats.conf is a lot of work, I’ve added
- a small tool ’createcats’, that makes the biggest part of the job. It
- should have been compiled with the plugin and exists in the sources
- directory.
-
- See createcats(1) for information about how to use it.
-
- Internals: epgsearch scans the summary of an event for the category
- name followed by ’: ’ for all categories that have a corresponding
- value set in the search timer. The search is case sensitive regarding
- the category name as also the value.
-
-5. Replacing the standard schedule menu
- To use this plugin as a replacement for the default green key, simply
- put the line
-
- Green @epgsearch
-
- in your keymacros.conf. If you don’t like to get another plugin entry
- in your main menu, first hide it by setup. Then you could use my
- launcher-plugin and put the line
-
- Green @launcher x
-
- in your keymacros.conf, where x is the position of the Epgsearch plugin
- within launchers menu listing.
-
- Attention: Hiding the plugin without using the launcher plugin or other
- patches that enable calling hidden plugins will show the standard
- schedules menu when you press the green key. This is not needed anymore
- after VDR >= 1.3.32.
-
- Another approach is using a patch to VDR that replaces vdr’s standard
- schedule menu with epgsearch (vdr-replace-schedulemenu.diff.gz in the
- patches subdir, thanks to the author Uwe/egal@vdrportal). When using
- this patch the entry should look like
-
- Gree Schedule
-
- This patch is already included in some patch collections, like the Big‐
- patch.
-
-6. Add-ons
- epgsearch delivers 2 ’mini’-plugins. Both require an installed
- epgsearch (but epgsearch can be hided in the main menu):
-
- - epgsearchonly:
- For those who only want to use the search feature and/or search
- timers or simply want to have a separate main menu entry for the
- search feature. This plugin creates a main menu entry ’Search’
- which calls epgsearch search menu. Activation in VDR start script
- with "-Pepgsearchonly".
-
- - conflictcheckonly:
- The timer conflict check can also have its own main menu entry
- which displays epgsearch conflict overview menu. It has a setup
- option to display an information about the last check directly in
- its main menu entry. Activation in VDR start script with "-Pcon‐
- flictcheckonly".
-
- Have fun!

-1. Using variables in the directory entry of a search timer
- If you are using extended EPG information, you can use variables as
- part of a directory entry of a search timer. These variables always
- have the form ’%variable%’. The name of a variable corresponds with the
- internal name of an extended EPG info, as specified in the file
- epgsearchcats.conf (samples can be found in subdirectory ’conf’).
- Example:
-
- 1|Category|Kategorie|Information,Kinder,Musik,Serie,Show,Spielfilm,Sport|3
-
- The category with ID 1 has the internal name ’Category’. So you could
- use it with ’%Category%’. The names are not case sensitive. Sample
- directory entries could look like this:
-
- My Movies~%Category%
- Childrens Movies~%category%
- %CATEGORY%~%genre%
-
- There are also three other variables: %Title%, %Subtitle% and %Chan‐
- nel%. If you don’t use %Title%, the title is always automatically
- appended to the directory entry, when a timer will be created. If you
- set ’serial recording’ to ’yes’ in your search timer then also the sub‐
- title will be automatically appended. So the directory entry
-
- %Category%~%Genre%~%Title%~%Subtitle%
-
- is the same as
-
- %Category%~%Genre%
- (with ’serial recording’ set to ’yes’).
-
- The %Channel% variable gets replaced with the name of the channel.
-
- Attention: Automatically appending title and subtitle will not be done,
- if you use the variables %Title% or %Subtitle% in the directory entry.
- This allows to form directory entries like this one:
-
- %Category%~%Genre%~%Title%~%Episode%~%Subtitle%
-
- There is also another variable %search.query% that will be replaced
- with the query of the search timer.
-
- See also "epgsearchuservars.conf(5)".
-
-2. The format of epgsearch.conf
- Due to some new features there was a change in the format. The format
- is now signed with a comment in the first line. The field delimiter is
- ’:’:
-
- 1 - unique search timer id
- 2 - the search term
- 3 - use time? 0/1
- 4 - start time in HHMM
- 5 - stop time in HHMM
- 6 - use channel? 0 = no, 1 = Interval, 2 = Channel group, 3 = FTA only
- 7 - if ’use channel’ = 1 then channel id[|channel id] in vdr format,
- one entry or min/max entry separated with |, if ’use channel’ = 2
- then the channel group name
- 8 - match case? 0/1
- 9 - search mode:
- 0 - the whole term must appear as substring
- 1 - all single terms (delimiters are blank,’,’, ’;’, ’|’ or ’~’)
- must exist as substrings.
- 2 - at least one term (delimiters are blank, ’,’, ’;’, ’|’ or ’~’)
- must exist as substring.
- 3 - matches exactly
- 4 - regular expression
- 5 - fuzzy searching (specify tolerance in parameter 42, not available
- for EPG categories)
- 10 - use title? 0/1
- 11 - use subtitle? 0/1
- 12 - use description? 0/1
- 13 - use duration? 0/1
- 14 - min duration in minutes
- 15 - max duration in minutes
- 16 - use as search timer? 0/1/2 (with 2 one can specify time margins in
- parameter 48/49 where the search timer is active)
- 17 - use day of week? 0/1
- 18 - day of week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday...;
- -1 Sunday, -2 Monday, -4 Tuesday, ...; -7 Sun, Mon, Tue)
- 19 - use series recording? 0/1
- 20 - directory for recording
- 21 - priority of recording
- 22 - lifetime of recording
- 23 - time margin for start in minutes
- 24 - time margin for stop in minutes
- 25 - use VPS? 0/1
- 26 - action:
- 0 = create a timer
- 1 = announce only via OSD (no timer)
- 2 = switch only (no timer)
- 27 - use extended EPG info? 0/1
- 28 - extended EPG info values. This entry has the following format
- (delimiter is ’|’ for each category, ’#’ separates id and value):
- 1 - the id of the extended EPG info category as specified in
- epgsearchcats.conf
- 2 - the value of the extended EPG info category
- (a ’:’ will be translated to "!^colon^!", e.g. in "16:9")
- 29 - avoid repeats? 0/1
- 30 - allowed repeats
- 31 - compare title when testing for a repeat? 0/1
- 32 - compare subtitle when testing for a repeat? 0/1
- 33 - compare description when testing for a repeat? 0/1
- 34 - compare extended EPG info when testing for a repeat?
- This entry is a bit field of the category IDs.
- 35 - accepts repeats only within x days
- 36 - delete a recording automatically after x days
- 37 - but keep this number of recordings anyway
- 38 - minutes before switch (if action = 2)
- 39 - pause if x recordings already exist
- 40 - blacklist usage mode (0 none, 1 selection, 2 all)
- 41 - selected blacklist IDs separated with ’|’
- 42 - fuzzy tolerance value for fuzzy searching
- 43 - use this search in favorites menu (0 no, 1 yes)
- 44 - number of the search menu template to use (only available if multiple
- search result templates are defined in epgsearchmenu.conf)
- 45 - auto deletion mode (0 don’t delete search timer, 1 delete after given
- count of recordings, 2 delete after given days after first recording)
- 46 - count of recordings after which to delete the search timer
- 47 - count of days after the first recording after which to delete the search
- timer
- 48 - first day where the search timer is active (see parameter 16)
- 49 - last day where the search timer is active (see parameter 16)
- 50 - ignore missing EPG categories? 0/1
- 51 - unmute sound if off when used as switch timer
-
- A ’:’ in the search term or the directory entry will be translated in a
- ’|’. If a ’|’ exists in the search term, e.g. when using regular
- expressions, it will be translated to "!^pipe^!" (I know it’s ugly ;-))
-
- See also "epgsearch.conf(5)".
-
-3. Description of the search process
- First, for each broadcasting a search text divided by ’~’ is created,
- depending on the settings of ’Use title’, ’Use subtitle’ and ’Use
- description’:
-
- title~subtitle~description
-
- If "Match case" is not set, the search text and the search term are
- transformed to lower case. Now depending on the search mode, the
- search term will be looked up in the search text:
-
- - ’Phrase’ matches
- if the search term is found anywhere in the search text.
-
- - ’at least one word’, ’all words’
- first the search term will be split in single words. Delimiters are
- a blank and the characters ’,’ ’;’ ’|’ ’~’.
-
- Then we check if at least one or all words appear in the search
- text.
-
- - ’match exactly’
- matches if search term and search text are identical.
-
- - ’regular expression’
- the search is done with a regular expression. You don’t need a
- leading and trailing ’/’ in your search term. Two standards of
- regular expression are supported: extended POSIX and Perl compati‐
- ble regular expressions (PCRE) (see INSTALL).
-
- If the search was successful until now, the other criterions (start
- time, duration, week day) are checked.
-
-4. How do Search Timers work?
- With each update, the plugin searches for new matches of your search
- timers. If a new match is found then a new timer is created. For serial
- recordings, the subtitle is appended to the recording directory. Many
- providers deliver the subtitle just 1-2 days before the event. The plu‐
- gin uses then a date/time string for the subtitle, but replaces this
- one later if the subtitle is present.
-
- Start and end times of a broadcasting often vary a little bit. To avoid
- getting many different timers for the same event, the plugin checks
- before adding a new timer, if there is one, that has start and end
- times which only differ by a maximum of 10 minutes (or the events dura‐
- tion if this is less then 10 minutes). If so, the present timer is mod‐
- ified, else a new timer is created. If the timer was set to inactive
- there will be no update. Also manually corrected priority or lifetime
- will not be changed when updating.
-
- If you have set ’Announce only (no timer)’ to yes, no timer is created.
- Instead you get an OSD message about the event. This message is dis‐
- played at each scan, but only if there is no timer for the event.
-
-5. How to trigger a search timer update?
- the update of search timers runs in its own thread. There are several
- ways to trigger it:
-
- - automatically
- after VDR starts there is always an update (after a few seconds).
- After this, the setup option ’Update interval’ tells epgsearch when
- the next update should be done repeatedly (in minutes).
-
- - manually extern
- the thread observes the file ’.epgsearchupdate’ in the plugins con‐
- fig directory. When you
-
- touch /path_to_file/.epgsearchupdate
-
- this will also trigger an update. So this is a simple solution to
- make an update e.g. by a script.
-
- - manually intern
- calling actions or pressing ’3’ in the menu of searches asks also
- for an update.
-
- - from other plugins
-
- there’s a service ’Epgsearch-updatesearchtimers-v1.0’ that can be used
- with the service interface of VDR from other plugins with the option to
- inform via OSD when the update has finished
-
-6. The sources of the ’Select directory’ menu
- This menu displays directories, that can be used for search timers or
- ordinary timers. The items displayed are read from the following
- sources:
-
- * current recording directories
- * current timer directories
- * directories used in search timers
- * directories specified in F<epgsearchdirs.conf>,
- see C<epgsearchdirs.con(5)>
-
- The menu merges theses directories and displays only distinct directo‐
- ries. With key ’yellow’ one can change the depth of the directories
- shown. If there are items, that contain category variables like
- ’%genre%’, these entries are always shown before any other directories.
- They are also not level dependent, but are always shown with their full
- directory.
-
- If this menu is called from the timer edit menu and an item is selected
- that contains the variables "%title%" or "%subtitle" then the ’file’
- item of the timer gets cleared, since title or subtitle already exist
- in the ’directory’ item. This list can also be accessed via the SVDRP
- command ’LSRD’.
-
-7. Language dependent commands for EPG
- If you like to have a language dependent list of commands simply trans‐
- late your present epgsearchcmds.conf to your preferred OSD language and
- store it with the filename epgsearchcmds-XXX.conf, where XXX is the
- language code from i18n.c:
-
- { "eng,dos",
- "deu,ger",
- "slv",
- "ita",
- "dut,nla,nld",
- "por",
- "fra,fre",
- "nor",
- "fin,smi",
- "pol",
- "esl,spa",
- "ell,gre",
- "sve,swe",
- "rom,rum",
- "hun",
- "cat,cln",
- "rus",
- "hrv",
- "est",
- "dan",
- }
-
- If there are more codes for one language (e.g. "deu,ger") choose one of
- them. If there is no language dependent file, epgsearch loads the file
- epgsearchcmds.conf.
-
- See also "epgsearchcmds.conf(5)".
-
-8. Usage from other plugins or scripts
- Searching the EPG and other functionality can be used by other plugins
- or scripts. There are two approaches:
-
- 8.1. File-based (intended for use in scripts)
-
- Therefore simply create the file ’.epgsearchrc’ in the plugins config
- directory with the following lines in it:
-
- Search=your search term
- Searchmode=x // 0=phrase, 1=and, 2=or, 3=regular expression
- ChannelNr=x // add this line, to search on a specific channel
- UseTitle=x // 1(default) or 0
- UseSubtitle=x // 1(default) or 0
- UseDescr=x // 1(default) or 0
-
- Then call Epgsearch via svdrpsend.pl (you must have assigned a key to
- it), e.g.
-
- svdrpsend.pl HITK green
-
- At startup Epgsearch will look for this file and give you the search
- results for your search, if it exists. After that the file is removed.
-
- A sample script recrep.sh, that searches for the repeats of a recording
- exists in the scripts subdirectory of Epgsearch.
-
- 8.2. via Plugin-Interface (intended for use in plugins)
-
- A plugin can directly call two functions of epgsearch with only some
- lines of source code:
-
- - searching the EPG for some criteria and display the result list
- - extended timer edit menu
-
- I have added a quick and dirty dummy plugin (source/vdr-epgsearch‐
- client-0.0.1.tgz), that demonstrates the usage.
-
-9. SVDRP interface
- epgsearch implements a SVDRP interface, that can be accessed for exam‐
- ple like this
-
- svdrpsend.pl PLUG epgsearch LSTS
-
- the following commands are available:
-
- search management:
-
- * ’LSTS [ID]’ to list all searches, or the one with the passed ID
- (format is the same as epgsearch.conf)
- * ’NEWS <settings>’ to add a new search
- REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always
- assign the next free ID
- * ’DELS <ID>’ to delete the search with ID
- * ’EDIS <settings>’ to modify an existing search
- * ’UPDS [OSD]’ to update the search timers. Passing the optional keyword
- ’OSD’ pops up an OSD message after the update has finished.
- * ’MODS ID ON|OFF’ turns on/off the option ’Use as search timer’.
- * ’UPDD’ to reload the file epgsearchdone.data, e.g. after an
- external tool has modified it.
- * ’SETS <ON|OFF>’ to temporarily activate or cancel the search timer background
- thread.
- * ’FIND <settings>’ for searching the EPG
- input is the same as with ’NEWS’. output is a list of found events formatted
- as ’NEWT’ lines. So they can be immediately used to create a new timer for
- an event.
- * ’QRYS < ID(s) >’ to get the results for a search with the given
- ID. Multiple IDs can also be passed and have to be separated with ’|’.
- The results are formatted like this:
-
- search ID : // the ID of the corresponding search timer
- event ID : // VDR event ID
- title : // event title, any ’:’ will be converted to ’|’
- episode name : // event short text, any ’:’ will be converted to ’|’
- event start : // event start in seconds since 1970-01-01
- event stop : // event stop in seconds since 1970-01-01
- channel : // channel ID in VDR’s internal representation (e.g. ’S19.2E-1-1101-28106’)
- timer start : // timer start in seconds since 1970-01-01 (only valid if timer flag is > 0)
- timer stop : // timer stop in seconds since 1970-01-01 (only valid if timer flag is > 0)
- timer file : // timer file (only valid if timer flag is > 0)
- timer flag : // 0 = no timer needed, 1 = has timer, 2 timer planned for next update)
- * ’QRYS <settings>’ to get the results for a search with the given search
- settings.
- * ’QRYF [hours]’ to get the results for the favorites menu, see QRYS for
- result format. The optional parameter specifies the number of hours to
- evaluate and defaults to 24h.
-
- channel group management:
-
- * ’LSTC [channel group name]’
- list all channel groups or if given the one with name ’group name’
- * ’NEWC <channel group settings>’
- create a new channel group, format as in epgsearchchangrps.conf
- * ’EDIC <channel group settings>’
- modify an existing channel group, format as in epgsearchchangrps.conf
- * ’DELC <channel group name>’
- delete an existing channel group
- * ’RENC <old channel group name|new channel group name>’
- rename an existing channel group
-
- blacklist management:
-
- * ’LSTB [ID]’ to list all blacklists, or the one with the passed ID
- (format is the same as epgsearchblacklists.conf)
- * ’NEWB <settings>’ to add a new blacklist
- REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always
- assign the next free ID
- * ’DELB <ID>’ to delete the blacklist with ID
- * ’EDIB <settings>’ to modify an existing blacklist
-
- search template management:
-
- * ’LSTT [ID]’ to list all search templates, or the one with the passed ID
- (format is the same as epgsearch.conf)
- * ’NEWT <settings>’ to add a new search template
- REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always
- assign the next free ID
- * ’DELT <ID>’ to delete the search template with ID
- * ’EDIT <settings>’ to modify an existing search template
- * ’DEFT [ID]’ returns the ID of the default search template. When passing an
- ID it activates the corresponding template as default.
-
- extended EPG categories:
-
- * ’LSTE [ID] to get the extended EPG categories defined in epgsearchcats.conf
- or the one with the given ID. (format is the same as epgsearchcats.conf)
-
- misc:
-
- * ’SETP [option]’ returns the current value of the given setup option or a
- list of all options with their current values.
- The following options can be accessed:
- - ShowFavoritesMenu
- - UseSearchTimers
-
- timer conflicts:
-
- * ’LSCC [REL]’ returns the current timer conflicts. With the option ’REL’ only
- relevant conflicts are listed. The result list looks like this for example
- when we have 2 timer conflicts at one time:
-
- 1190232780:152|30|50#152#45:45|10|50#152#45
-
- ’1190232780’ is the time of the conflict in seconds since 1970-01-01. It’s
- followed by list of timers that have a conflict at this time:
-
- ’152|30|50#152#45’ is the description of the first conflicting timer. Here:
-
- ’152’ is VDR’s timer id of this timer as returned from VDR’s LSTT command
- ’30’ is the percentage of recording that would be done (0...100)
- ’50#152#45’ is the list of concurrent timers at this conflict
-
- ’45|10|50#152#45’ describes the next conflict
-
-10. Customizing the EPG menus
- The file 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 ..., Sched‐
- ule, Search results, Favorites) with a separate line. Here’s a sample:
-
- 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|%time%:6|%timespan%:7|%t_status%:14|%genre%:8| %title%%colon%%subtitle%:35
-
- 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, MenuSe‐
- archResults, 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 differ‐
- ent 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
- %timeend% - end 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
- %timespan% - timespan from now to the beginning of an event, e.g. ’in 15m’
- or the time an event is already running, e.g. ’10m’.
- %length% - length in seconds
- %title% - title
- %subtitle% - subtitle
- %summary% - summary
- %htmlsummary% - summary, where all CR are replaced with ’<br />’
- %eventid% - numeric event ID
- %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%’
-
- %<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 are 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’)
-
- some indepent variables:
-
- %colon% - the sign ’:’
- %datenow% - current date in format TT.MM.YY
- %dateshnow% - current date in format TT.MM.
- %timenow% - current time in format HH:MM
- %videodir% - VDR video directory (e.g. /video)
- %plugconfdir% - VDR plugin config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/plugins)
- %epgsearchdir% - epgsearchs config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch)
-
- The variables are not case sensitive. You can also use variables for
- extended EPG categories defined in epgsearchcats.conf or use your own
- user defined variables defined in epgsearchuservars.conf
-
- 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 epgsearchmenu.conf in the subdirectory "conf". For a
- quick try copy it to your plugins config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/plug‐
- ins).
-
- To enable icons from WarEagleIcon-Patch simply put the line
-
- WarEagleIcons=1
-
- to 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.
-
- See also "epgsearchmenu.con(5)".
-
-11. Working with the timer conflict menu
- If a conflict is detected within the periodic conflict background check
- you get an OSD message which informs you about it. Pressing ’Ok’ you
- will get a menu that displays all relevant conflicts. You can manually
- call this menu in epgsearch in the menu ’Search/Actions’.
-
- Besides the relevant conflicts (relevance is controlled via the setup
- options of epgsearch) there may also be conflicts which are not classi‐
- fied as important. If so, you can press ’Show all’ to get the complete
- list. The menu title always displays the number of relevant conflicts
- and the total number.
-
- The list displays first the time when a conflict appears and then all
- timers that will fail here. A timer entry consists of the channel num‐
- ber and its name followed by the timer priority and the percentage
- value that shows how much of the timer will be recorded. Finally the
- timer’s file entry is displayed.
-
- When you select a timer entry and press ’Ok’ or ’Details’ you get a new
- menu which displays all concurrent timers. This menu allows you to
- resolve the conflict by
-
- - searching a repeat for an event
- - disabling a timer
- - deleting a timer
- - changing the timers start- or stop-time or its priority
- - executing any other commands on this timer
-
- An entry of this menu consists of the sign ’>’ to indicate an active
- timer, the channel number, the start and stop time, the priority, the
- number of the device that will do the recording (or ’C’ for conflict)
- and the timer’s file entry. Pressing ’Ok’ on a timer entry will show
- you its event description if present.
-
- If one returns from this menu to the conflict overview menu there will
- be an automatic update to see if a conflict was really resolved. Some
- changes to a timer (like modifying start/stop or deleting a timer) in
- the conflict details menu also cause an immediate return to the
- overview menu and produce an update.
-
-12. User defined variables
- You can create your own variables to be used in any place that supports
- variables, like the default recording directory for manually created
- timers, the recording directory of a search timer or in your customized
- EPG menus. Put them in the file epgsearchuservars.conf.
-
- Variables looks like %Variablename%.
-
- "Variablename" can be consist of any alphanumerical character. Space
- and special characters are not allowed.
-
- The variable names are case-insensitive.
-
- Examples for possible names:
-
- %Series% %DocuVar1% %ThemesSubtitleDate1%
-
- Assignment
-
- %Series%=New series~Thriller
-
- The variable %Series% will be assigned with the string "New
- series~Thriller".
-
- Assignments are always strings. Spaces stay spaces.
-
- %Path%=%Series%
-
- The variable %Path% gets the content of the variable %Series%.
-
- You can do nearly everything:
-
- %Path%=%Serie%~Lost
-
- The variable %Path% contains now the string "New series~Thriller~Lost".
-
- Control structures
-
- You can use simple "if then else" constructions.
-
- These constructions cannot contain strings, only variables. Spaces are
- ignored.
-
- %Foo%=Other
-
- %Variable%=%Path% ? %Path% : %Foo%
-
- If %Path% is not empty, assign the content of %Path% to %Variable%,
- otherwise the content of %Foo%.
-
- "%Path% ?" means "not empty?". You can use other checks.
-
- %Variable%=%Path%!=5 ? %Path% : %Foo%
-
- "%Path%!=5 ?" means "is %Path% equal 5?"
-
- You can also compare variables.
-
- %Five%=5
-
- %Variable%=%Path%!=%Five% ? %Path% : %Foo%
-
- Other possible checks:
-
- == equal
- != not equal
-
- Calling a system command
-
- You can call external commands. The returned string will be assigned to
- a variable
-
- %uservar%=system(scriptname[, parameters])
-
- Calls the script "scriptname" with the parameters defined in the
- optional list of ’parameters’. This can be an arbitrary expression con‐
- taining other user variables, but not again a system call or a condi‐
- tional expression.
-
- Sample:
-
- %myVar%=system(/usr/local/bin/myscript.sh, -t %title% -s %subtitle% -u %myOtherVar%)
-
- The script must return a string without line break!
-
- If the script returns nothing, an empty string will be assigned to the
- Variable %Result%.
-
- Possible variables
-
- for a list of already builtin variables refer to the section "Customiz‐
- ing the EPG menus" Furthermore you can use every variable defined in
- epgsearchcats.conf.
-
- See "epgsearchcats.conf(5)".
-
- EXAMPLES
-
- # Weekday, Date, Time
- %DateStr%=%time_w% %date% %time%
-
- # Themes or Subtitle or Date
- %ThemesSubtitleDate1%=%Subtitle% ? %Subtitle% : %DateStr%
- %ThemesSubtitleDate%=%Themes% ? %Themes% : %ThemesSubtitleDate1%
-
- # Calls this script to get a recording path
- %DocuScript%=system(doku.pl, -t %Title% -s %Subtitle% -e %Episode% -th %Themes% -c %Category% -g %Genre%)
- %Docu%=%DocuScript%
-
-13. Email notification
- If you want to get email notifications about timers added/modi‐
- fied/removed by the search timer thread or about timer conflicts, first
- copy the script ’sendEmail.pl’ to the place where your executables are
- (e.g. /usr/local/bin) and then configure your email account in the
- setup. Press ’Test’ to check if it works. There should be something
- like ’Email successfully sent’ at the end of the output. The content
- of the mails is defined by the files
-
- - epgsearchupdmail.templ (for search timer update notifications)
- - epgsearchconflmail.templ (for timer conflict notifications)
-
- You can find sample files in the ’conf’ directory. Copy them to
- epgsearchs config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch).
-
- Customizing the notifications mails
-
- The content of the mails can be customized in many ways. You can use
- plain text or HTML (see the sample conf/epgsearchupdmail-html.templ).
- For an update mail you have to define the following sections:
-
- - "subject" to be used as mail subject
- - "mailbody" the body of the mail:
- put ’%update.newtimers%’ in the place where the list of new timers should
- appear. The same for %update.modtimers% and %update.deltimers% for the
- list of changed or deleted timers.
- - "timer" the description of one timer. This section is used to display one
- timer within a timer list, e.g. in %update.newtimers%
-
- each section is enclosed in a pseudo XML tag.
-
- The following variables can be used in the section <mailbody>:
-
- - %update.newtimers% - will be replaced with the list of new timers
- created with this update. The timers are
- displayed as defined in the section ’<timer>’
- - %update.countnewtimers% - the number of new timers
- - %update.modtimers% - same as %update.newtimers% but for modified
- timers.
- - %update.countmodtimers% - the number of modified timers
- - %update.deltimers% - same as %update.newtimers% but for deleted
- timers. (Note: a deleted timer has eventually
- no event assigned to it. So all event variables
- within the timer section will be substituted to
- an empty string.)
- - %update.countdeltimers% - the number of deleted timers
- - %colon% - the sign ’:’
- - %datenow% - current date in format TT.MM.YY
- - %dateshnow% - current date in format TT.MM.
- - %timenow% - current time in format HH:MM
-
- The following variables can be used in the section <timer>:
-
- - %timer.date% - date of the timer
- - %timer.start% - start time of the timer
- - %timer.stop% - stop time of the timer
- - %timer.file% - recording directory of the timer
- - %timer.chnr% - channel number
- - %timer.chsh% - short channel name
- - %timer.chlng% - channel name
- - %timer.search% - name of the search timer, that created the timer
- - %timer.searchid% - id of the search timer, that created the timer
- - any event variable (as in ’10. Customizing the EPG menus’)
- - any extended EPG variable as defined in epgsearchcats.conf
- - any user variable (as in ’12. User defined variables’)
-
- For a conflict notification mail the following sections exist:
-
- - "subject" to be used as mail subject
- - "mailbody" the body of the mail. Put %conflict.conflicts% in the place
- where the list of conflict times should appear (Note: there can be more
- than one timer conflict at the same time!). A conflict time uses the
- section ’conflictsat’ to display its content.
- - "conflictsat" the description of one time where one or more conflicts
- exists. Put %conflict.confltimers% in the place where the list of conflict
- timers should appear.
- - "confltimer" the description of one conflicting timer
-
- The following variables can be used in the section <mailbody>:
-
- - %conflict.count% - complete number of timer conflicts
- - %conflict.conflicts% - list of times with conflicting timers
-
- The following variables can be used in the section <conflictsat>:
-
- - %conflict.date% - date of the conflict
- - %conflict.time% - time of the conflict
- - %conflict.confltimers% - list of conflicting timers for this time
-
- The section <conflicttimer> can use the same variables as the section
- <timer> in an update mail (see above).

-
- A ’:’ in the search term or the directory entry will be translated in a
- ’|’. If a ’|’ exists in the search term, e.g. when using regular

-
- There’s no need to fill all fields, only the first 11 fields must
- exist.

-epgsearchblacklists.confEpgsearch Version 0.9.24.beepgsearchblacklists.conf(5)
-
-
-
-NAME
- epgsearchblacklists.conf - Blacklist
-
-DESCRIPTION
- You can create blacklists in epgsearch and use them in searchtimers.
-
- A blacklist entry is like a normal searchtimer which is saved in the
- file epgsearchblacklists.conf.
-
- While editing an searchtimer you can select one ore more blacklist
- entries.
-
- USAGE
-
- Searchtimer "Action" use blacklist "Damme".
-
- Blacklist entry "Damme" searches "Damme"
-
- First the searchtimer searches all films with "Action".
-
- Then for each search result epgsearch will test if the result matches
- against "Damme". If so, the result will be dismissed.
-
-SYNTAX
- This file uses the same syntax as epgsearch.conf except that theres no
- <use as searchtimer> field. So there’s a shift by one field from this
- position. Because that, see "epgsearch.conf(5)".

-epgsearchcats.conf(5) Epgsearch Version 0.9.24.beta9 epgsearchcats.conf(5)
-
-
-
-NAME
- epgsearchcats.conf - Configuration of the additional EPG information
-
-DESCRIPTION
- Some EPG providers deliver additional EPG information like the type of
- event, the video and audio format, cast,...
-
- Using tvm2vdr or epg4vdr you can import this into vdr. To use this
- information with search timers one has to configure it with the file
- epgsearchcats.conf in your plugins config directory.
-
- Sample files for epgsearchcats.conf are delivered with the plugin in
- the directory ’conf’.
-
- Simply copy the one that fits for you to your plugins config directory
- with filename epgsearchcats.conf and then have a look to the search
- timers edit menu (after a restart of VDR).
-
- Since setting up a new epgsearchcats.conf is a lot of work, I’ve added
- a small tool ’createcats’, that makes the biggest part of the job. It
- should have been compiled with the plugin and exists in the sources
- directory.
-
- See createcats(1) for information about how to use it.
-
- Internals: epgsearch scans the summary of an event for the category
- name followed by ’: ’ for all categories that have a corresponding
- value set in the search timer. The search is case sensitive regarding
- the category name as also the value.
-
-SYNTAX
- ID|category name|name in menu|values separated by ’,’(option)|searchmode(option)
-
- - ’ID’ should be a unique positive integer
- (changing the id later on will force you to re-edit your search timers!)
- - ’category name’ is the name as delivered by the EPG provider, e.g. ’Genre’
- - ’name in menu’ is the name displayed in epgsearch.
- - ’values’ is an optional list of possible values
- - ’searchmode’ specifies the search mode:
- text comparison:
- 0 - the whole term must appear as substring
- 1 - all single terms (delimiters are ’,’, ’;’, ’|’ or ’~’)
- must exist as substrings. This is the default search mode.
- 2 - at least one term (delimiters are ’,’, ’;’, ’|’ or ’~’)
- must exist as substring.
- 3 - matches exactly
- 4 - regular expression
- numerical comparison:
- 10 - less
- 11 - less or equal
- 12 - greater
- 13 - greater or equal
- 14 - equal
- 15 - not equal
-

-
-
-
-NAME
- epgsearchdirs.conf - List of directories for selecting in epgsearch
-
-DESCRIPTION
- This is one source of the ’Select directory’ menu.
-
- This file contain directories which can be used for search timers or
- ordinary timers.
-
- The items displayed are read from the following sources:
-
- * current recording directories
- * current timer directories
- * directories used in search timers
- * directories specified in F<epgsearchdirs.conf>
-
- The menu merges theses directories and displays only distinct directo‐
- ries. With key ’yellow’ one can change the depth of the directories
- shown. If there are items, that contain category variables like
- ’%genre%’, these entries are always shown before any other directories.
- They are also not level dependent, but are always shown with their full
- directory.
-
- If this menu is called from the timer edit menu and an item is selected
- that contains the variables "%title%" or "%subtitle" then the ’file’
- item of the timer gets cleared, since title or subtitle already exist
- in the ’directory’ item.
-
-SYNTAX
- Each line contains a directory. You can use every variable, internal
- ones those defined in epgsearchuservars.conf and the variables of the
- extended EPG.
-
- See "epgsearchcats.conf(5)" and "epgsearchuservars.conf(5)".
-
- Internal ones:
-
- %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

-
-NAME
- epgsearchmenu.conf - Customizing the EPG menus
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The file 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 ..., Sched‐
- ule, Search results, Favorites) with a separate line.
-
-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

- MenuFavorites=%chnr%:3|%datesh% %time% %t_status%:14|%genre%:8| %title%%colon%%subtitle%:35
-
-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, MenuSe‐
- archResults, 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 differ‐
- ent 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 epgsearchmenu.conf in the subdirectory "conf". For a
- quick try copy it to your plugins config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/plug‐
- ins).
-
- To enable icons from WarEagleIcon-Patch simply put the line
-
- WarEagleIcons=1
-
- to 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.

- ignored.
-
- %Foo%=Other
-
- %Variable%=%Path% ? %Path% : %Foo%
-
- If %Path% is not empty, assign the content of %Path% to %Variable%,
- otherwise the content of %Foo%.
-
- "%Path% ?" means "not empty?". You can use other checks.
-
- %Variable%=%Path%!=5 ? %Path% : %Foo%
-
- "%Path%!=5 ?" means "is %Path% equal 5?"
-
- You can also compare variables.
-
- %Five%=5

- %Variable%=%Path%!=%Five% ? %Path% : %Foo%
-
- Other possible checks:
-
- == equal
- != not equal
-

-
- Calls the script "scriptname" with the parameters "%Variable1%",
- "%Variable2%", etc. The result will be stored in %Result%.
-
- You can use as many variables as you want.
