6 epgsearchmenu.conf - Customizing the EPG menus
7
9 The file epgsearchmenu.conf in your plugins config directory is used to
10 store the entries for customizing the EPG menus. You specify the look
11 of each menu (What's on now, What's on next, What's on at ...,
12 Schedule, Search results, Favorites) with a separate line.
13
15 MenuWhatsOnNow=%chnr%:3|%progrt2s%:5| %time% %t_status%:8|%category%:6| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35
16 MenuWhatsOnNext=%chnr%:3|%time% %t_status%:8|%category%:8| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35
17 MenuWhatsOnElse=%chnr%:3|%time% %t_status%:8|%category%:8| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35
18 MenuSchedule=%time% %t_status%:8|%genre%:14| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35
19 MenuSearchResults=%chnr%:3|%datesh% %time% %t_status%:14|%genre%:8| %title%%colon% %subtitle%:35
20 MenuFavorites=%chnr%:3|%datesh% %time% %t_status%:14|%genre%:8| %title%%colon%%subtitle%:35
21
23 E.g. the entry 'MenuWhatsOnNow' tells epgsearch how you would like to
24 build a line for the menu 'What's on now'. This would create a menu
25 line starting with the channel number, followed by a progress bar in
26 text2skin style, a space of one char, the start time, the timer status,
27 the EPG category (like "movie") and finally the title and subtitle.
28 The values for MenuWhatsOnNext, MenuWhatsOnElse, MenuSchedule,
30 MenuSearchResults, MenuFavorites specify the menu 'What's on next',
31 'What's on at ...', 'Schedule', 'Search results' and 'Favorites'
32 respectively. If you do not specify one entry, epgsearch uses it's
33 default menu look.
34 'MenuSearchResults' has something special: If you want to have
36 different layouts for your search results depending on the search, you
37 can use more then one menu template. Simply define e.g. an additional
38 MenuSearchResultsTip of the Day=%chnr%:3|%time_w%:4|%t_status%:3|%genre%:10|%title%%colon% %subtitle%:35
40 This will produce an additional menu item "Result menu layout" in the
42 edit menu of a search where you can choose between the default menu
43 template and your own templates. In the example above you will get "Tip
44 of the Day" as selection entry, since epgsearch simply cuts the leading
45 "MenuSearchResults". When you display the search results the chosen
46 template will be used instead of the default one.
47 The following variables exist:
49 %time% - start time in format HH:MM
51 %date% - start date in format TT.MM.YY
52 %datesh% - start date in format TT.MM.
53 %time_w% - weekday name
54 %time_d% - start day in format TT
55 %time_lng% - start time in seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00
56 %title% - title
57 %subtitle% - subtitle
58 %t_status% - timer status ('T', 't', 'R')
59 %v_status% - VPS status
60 %r_status% - running status
61 %status% - complete status, the same as
62 '%t_status%%v_status%%r_status%'
63 %colon% - the sign ':'
64 %<epg-category>% - a value from the extended EPG categories, specified in
65 epgsearchcats.conf, like %genre% or %category%
66 for the 'Whats on...' and 'Search results' menu there is also:
68 %chnr% - channel number
70 %chsh% - the short channel name (>=vdr-1.3.15)
71 %chlng% - the 'normal' channel name
72 %chdata% - VDR's internal channel representation (e.g. 'S19.2E-1-1101-28106')
73 %progr% - graphical progress bar (not for menu 'Search results')
74 %progrT2S% - progress bar in text2skin style (not for menu 'Search results')
75 the variables are not case sensitive.
77 An entry consists of up to 6 tables separated with '|'. The last entry
79 of each table should declare the table width in chars, separated with
80 ':'.
81 If you use a separator like '~', '-' or '#' to separate items like
83 title or subtitle, e.g. %title% ~ %subtitle%, and the subtitle is
84 empty, then epgsearch will try to fix this automatically to avoid a
85 trailing separator.
86 You should vary the tab width values to fit your needs, since the look
88 often depends on the selected skin. epgsearchmenu.conf is not reloaded
89 with every plugin call, since this is only useful when testing the conf
90 file. To activate the permanent reload for testing your conf, pass the
91 new start parameter '-r' or '--reloadmenuconf' in your runvdr.
92 There's a sample epgsearchmenu.conf in the subdirectory "conf". For a
94 quick try copy it to your plugins config directory (e.g.
95 /etc/vdr/plugins).
96 To enable icons from WarEagleIcon-Patch simply put the line
98 WarEagleIcons=1
100 to epgsearchmenu.conf.
102 NOTE: As long as there is a file epgsearchmenu.conf with an entry for a
104 special menu, all setup settings regarding the look of this menu are
105 ignored.
