Description
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"TvGuide" is a highly customizable 2D EPG viewer plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-13 07:47:26 +02:00
|
|
|
After "normal" Plugin installation you have to care about the paths for the
|
|
|
|
used Icons, the channel logos and epg images. The following paths can be set
|
|
|
|
at startup:
|
2013-01-17 13:16:44 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-l path, --logodir=path
|
|
|
|
Path to the logos (Default: <vdrconfdir>/plugins/tvguide/channellogos/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-i path, --epgimages=path
|
|
|
|
Path to the epgimages (Default: <vdrconfdir>/plugins/tvguide/epgimages/).
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-13 07:47:26 +02:00
|
|
|
-c path, --icons=path
|
|
|
|
Path to the icons directory (Default: <ressourcedir>/plugins/tvguide/epgimages/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ResourceDirectory is taken from your VDR configuration (make.config or vdr.pc).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During a "make install" the Icons are automatically copied from <PlgSourceDirectory>/icons/
|
|
|
|
to the default path. Included Theme files are also copied from <PlgSourceDirectory>/themes/
|
|
|
|
to <ConfigDirectory>/themes/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend to use channel logos from https://github.com/3PO/Senderlogos
|
|
|
|
To download them just change in the directory you want to place the logos
|
|
|
|
and do a:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/3PO/Senderlogos.git logos
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An update of the logos can then be done with a "git pull" just inside this
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For S2-6400 Users: Disable High Level OSD, otherwise the plugin will not be
|
|
|
|
loaded because lack of true color support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Xine-Plugin Users: Set "Blend scaled Auto" as OSD display mode to achieve
|
|
|
|
an suitable true color OSD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Xineliboutput Users: Start vdr-sxfe with the --hud option enabled

|
|
|
In Search & Recording menu the following options are available:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Instant Record: create a timer for the currently selected program. An
|
|
|
|
check for timer conflicts will be performed, if a timer conflict occurs,
|
|
|
|
the involved timers can be adapted to solve the conflict.
|
|
|
|
- Delete / Edit Timer: if a timer already exists for the currently selected
|
|
|
|
broadcast, this timer can be deleted or edited.
|
|
|
|
- Create Series Timer: create a periodical timer for a dedicated time on
|
|
|
|
dedicated days.
|
|
|
|
- Create Search Timer: create an search timer with epgsearch. The most
|
|
|
|
important options can be defined directly in the menu, alternatively
|
|
|
|
epgsearch templates can be used to define the searchtimer options.
|
|
|
|
- Create Switch Timer: create a switch timer for the currently selected
|
|
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
- Search: search with epgsearch
|
|
|
|
- Search in Recordings: check if a recording already exists for the currently
|
|
|
|
selected program.
|
|
|
|
- Check for Timer Conflicts: check for timer conflicts with epgsearch.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-21 10:33:07 +02:00
|
|
|
The search & recordings menu is intended to present a convenient interface
|
|
|
|
to different VDR core recording features and additional epgsearch features.
|
|
|
|
The main goal is to reach better usability for "non expert users". Some
|
|
|
|
advanced features like editing or deleting search timers and creating epgsearch
|
|
|
|
templates are not implemented. For these "expert settings" the epgsearch plugin
|
|
|
|
(or the VDR schedules menu replaced by epgsearch) have to be used directly.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-13 07:47:26 +02:00
|
|
|
The navigation through the search & recording menu can be done easily with
|
|
|
|
up/down, left/right and the ok key. In scrolling lists, with left/right
|
|
|
|
(after the first/last option of the displayed list element is selected) you
|
|
|
|
jump directly to the top/bottom of the list.
|
2013-01-17 13:16:44 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2013-07-21 10:33:07 +02:00
|
|
|
If the Option "Use folders for instant records" is set, both during creating an
|
|
|
|
instant records and a series timer you can choose the directory where the
|
|
|
|
recordings will be stored. As possible folders all entries from VDRs
|
|
|
|
<VDRCONFIG>/folders.conf will be used. These entries can be edited via OSD
|
|
|
|
through VDRs Timers Menu.
