Hi!
In a very old installation of vdr I used the autotimer plugin to generate some timers as following: Search in EPG of channel 1 (ARD) for Tagesthemen and create a timer for that with the title "ARD Tagesthemen 2230-2300". the timevalues where evaluated from EPG.
While autotimer does not work anymore, I tried epgsearch and read the manual, but I think this is not possible at this moment. Would be a nice feature: Something like title = ARD Tagesthemen %starttime%-%endtime% and maybe some more variables as in the EPG menu feature.
Regards
Marco
