Hi,
here's the next release of epgsearch:
2007-09-02: Version 0.9.23 new: - full support for new i18n system in vdr>=1.5.7, but keeps fully backwards compatible - when using extended EPG categories one can now also compare by value, e.g. to search for events after some year. Therefore new searchmodes (10 which means '<', 11 which means '<=', ...) were introduced in the file epgsearchcats.conf. Example:
# 'until year' 3|Year|until year||11 # 'from year' 12|Year|from year||13
One could use this also to search for a specific season of a series, if this data is part of the EPG. See the section <epgsearchcats.conf> in the documentation for a complete list of all search modes. - The edit menu for search timers has now a switch 'Ignore missing categories' for extended EPG categories. If set to 'Yes' this tells epgsearch that a missing EPG category should not exclude an event from the results. Caution: Using this without any other criterions could flood your timers. - Search timers have now an 'auto delete' feature. The edit menu therefor provides: * after x recordings, or * after x days after first recording Only complete recordings are counted. The deletion of the search timer is executed directly after the end of the corresponding recording - new action "Create a copy" in menu Search/Actions to create and edit a copy of the current search, suggested by Michael Brückner. - the option "use as search timer" has now a third value 'user defined' besides 'yes' and 'no', that allows specifying a time margin where the search timer is active, suggested by jo01@vdrportal - the progressbar now displays the start time instead of an empty bar, when shifting to future events, thanks to zulu@vdrportal for providing a patch. - menu "show timers created" shows now summary for the timers done with 'Ok'. Also the shortcuts '1..9' for the EPG-commands are available. - built-in pin-plugin patch (no more need to patch epgsearch). Activate it by compiling with 'USE_PINPLUGIN' in VDR's Make.config (as already done in VDR extension patch) - built-in graphtft-plugin patch (no more need to patch epgsearch). Activate it by compiling with 'USE_GRAPHTFT' in VDR's Make.config (as already done in VDR extension patch) - update of finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg - update of french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt - added file README.Translators with notes for translators fixes: - fixed a bug in timer creation after navigating through the summary menu, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting - Label "Record" or "Timer" in menu summary fixed with respect to existing timer. - fixed switch timers in the case when EPG has changed, thanks to Juergen Urban for providing a patch - fixed some compiler warnings in g++-4.2, thanks to Michael Brückner for reporting - added "," to the allowed characters for a search timer, thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting.

Hi,
I don't know about new versions of EPGS support this, but I suggest it anyway.
My problem is that if I find an interesting series, and seems to have different airing time every week, I would like to have neat way of doing EPG search timer.
Going to menus, creating new search timer is so cumbersome.
So why not when hitting RED button (or any other button) on series EPG entry, to have two possibilities, to make normal timer or to make EPG search timer from show name?
Best regards, Jori

simply press '4' on the EPG entry (or '0' to toggle the color buttons and "Commands"/"Create search"). This will call the search timer edit menu and copy the title of the event to it.
BR,

Ok, thanks. Like said I didn't know such a feature existed as it is not intuitively shown on menu.

I'm so lazy that I do those EPGSearch stuff easier.. I have installed VDRAdmin service, so I can connect directly (from any computer from my network + outside world) to HTTP port 8001 and do there changes to EPGsearch and all recordings.. ;-)
Test that! There is no return to "old way" after that... ;-)

Well I have runned VDRAdmin for years, but problem is that it is not available when I use EPG, and don't have computer next to sofa to use it. And using cell phone takes time also.. So something handly when using remote, and by pressing "4" is the answer.

I use EPGSearches search template (one of them is set default). That way when a new series starts and when I am in EPG I push red/4/ok/back and I am back in EPG and the search timer is done :) ofcource I have set my red button in epg to be permanently Commands (through epgsearch setup).
Search templates can be found in Menu=>Setup=>Plugins=>epgsearch=>Search and search timers=>blue=>use search timer=yes=>down to Search templates=>blue(Setup)=>green(new) then create a template of your wishes=>ok=>blue(default)=>ok=>ok=>back=>back=>back=>back its that simple :)
Hope this was any help to you.
