NAME

6       createcats - helps you creating your own epgsearchcats.conf
7

SYNOPSIS

9       createcats [OPTIONS] /path_to/epg.data
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This tool is deliverd with the plugin and should exist in the plugins
13       source directory after compilation. It helps you in creating your own
14       epgsearchcats.conf, if the samples in directory 'conf' don't fit your
15       needs.
16
17       createcats takes your epg.data as argument and scans it for suitable
18       EPG infos. Such an info is a set of a category name and a coresponding
19       value at the beginning of a line (represented with '|') and has the
20       form '|category: value', e.g.
21
22        |Genre: Action
23
24       So simply call it with
25
26       createcats /path_to/epg.data
27
28       The output is a file epgsearchcats.conf, that should be copied to your
29       plugins config dir. Before using it, you should do some customizing,
30       since not all things in the file will be suitable to be used as
31       extended EPG info.
32

OPTIONS

34       The full set of arguments is:
35
36       usage: createcats [OPTIONS] /path_to/epg.data
37
38        -m N, --minappearance=N    the minimum number a category has to appear
39                                   to be used
40        -v N, --maxvalues=N        values of a category are omitted if they exceed
41                                   this number
42        -l N, --maxlength=N        the maximum length of a text to be accepted
43                                   as a category value
44        -h, --help                 this help
45
46       Some notes:
47
48       -m N, --minappearance=N
49           createcats counts how often a category is used in your current
50           epg.data. If this is less than N, then this category will not be
51           part of the resulting epgsearchcats.conf.
52
53       -v N, --maxvalues=N
54           if the number of values for a category is more than N then
55           createcats will not output a value list for this category. As a
56           consequence in epgsearch the menu item gets an edit item, that can
57           be filled with every text. Else, the item gets a selection item,
58           that lets you select from a list of values.
59
60       -l N, --maxlength=N
61           if the text length of a value is more than N, this value is not
62           part of the value list.
63
64       Hint: Results are best, if your current EPG is as big as possible. So
65       update it, if you are using an external EPG provider, before calling
66       createcats.
67
68       Please edit this file now, since it will contain also things not
69       suitable.
70
71       After that copy it to your plugins config directory.
