EPG-Search can be used as a replacement for the default schedules
menu entry. It looks like the standard schedules menu, but adds some
additional 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'
- 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 keypress, 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.
