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 createcats +will not output a value list for this category. As a consequence 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 suitable.

After that copy it to your plugins config directory.
