6 epgsearchcats.conf - Configuration of the additional EPG information
7
9 Some EPG providers deliver additional EPG information like the type of
10 event, the video and audio format, cast,...
11
12 Using tvm2vdr or epg4vdr you can import this into vdr. To use this
13 information with search timers one has to configure it with the file
14 epgsearchcats.conf in your plugins config directory.
15
16 Sample files for epgsearchcats.conf are delivered with the plugin in
17 the directory 'conf'.
18
19 Simply copy the one that fits for you to your plugins config directory
20 with filename epgsearchcats.conf and then have a look to the search
21 timers edit menu (after a restart of VDR).
22
23 Since setting up a new epgsearchcats.conf is a lot of work, I've added
24 a small tool 'createcats', that makes the biggest part of the job. It
25 should have been compiled with the plugin and exists in the sources
26 directory.
27
28 See createcats(1) for information about how to use it.

30 Internals: epgsearch scans the summary of an event for the category
31 name followed by ': ' for all categories that have a corresponding
32 value set in the search timer. The search is case sensitive regarding
33 the category name as also the value.
34
36 ID|category name(,format)|name in menu|values separated by ','(option)|searchmode(option)
37
38 - 'ID' should be a unique positive integer
39 (changing the id later on will force you to re-edit your search timers!)
40 - 'category name' is the name as delivered by the EPG provider, e.g. 'Genre'
41 you can optionally provide a format specifier for numeric values, e.g.
42 Episode,%02i
43 - 'name in menu' is the name displayed in epgsearch.
44 - 'values' is an optional list of possible values
45 - 'searchmode' specifies the search mode:
46 text comparison:
47 0 - the whole term must appear as substring
48 1 - all single terms (delimiters are ',', ';', '|' or '~')
49 must exist as substrings. This is the default search mode.
50 2 - at least one term (delimiters are ',', ';', '|' or '~')
51 must exist as substring.
52 3 - matches exactly
53 4 - regular expression
54 numerical comparison:
55 10 - less
56 11 - less or equal
57 12 - greater
58 13 - greater or equal
59 14 - equal
60 15 - not equal
