Hi,
here's a new release of the epgsearch plugin. A bit early this time, but there were two bugs, that had to be fixed.
You can find it here:

wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.7.tgz
2005-09-04: Version 0.9.7 new: - changes in the events summary now also trigger a timer update fixes: - fixed a memory leak in search timers with regular expressions, thanks to TomG@vdrportal - fixed channel name display in color buttons when a channel separator exists, thanks to viking@vdrportal
What is it about?
EPG-Search can be used as a replacement for the default schedules menu entry. It looks like the standard schedules menu, but adds some additional functions:
- Commands for EPG entries with 5 built-in commands like 'show repeats', 'create search'. One can add own commands for other needs, like adding a VDRAdmin auto-timer.
- Add up to 4 user-defined times to 'now' and 'next'
- Searching the EPG: Create reusable queries, which can also be used as 'search timers'.
- Search timers: Search for broadcasts in the background and add a timer if one matches (similar to VDRAdmin's auto-timers) or simply make an annoucement about it via OSD
- Progress bar in 'What's on now' and 'What's on next'
- Shift the time displayed by keypress, e.g. 'What's on now' + 30 minutes
- Start menu can be setup between 'Schedule' or 'What's on now'
- background check for timer conflicts (requires a recent timeline plugin)
- detailed epg menu (summary) allows jumping to the next/previous event
- support for extended EPG info for search timers
Works only for vdr-1.3.x (x>=7). Tested on 1.3.10 to 1.3.30. Parts of the sources are based on the repeating-EPG patch from Gerhard Steiner, who gave me the permission to use them (thanks for his work!).
Best regards,
Christian Wieninger
Hi,

seems this version was really too early ;-)
perhaps somebody already has noticed, that there's a problem with the search timers update, when there are events without description. I've fixed it now, so please reload the release.
BR,

There's a bug in the schedule display wrt channel selection via the green and yellow buttons if the currently displayed channel doesn't have any EPG data: it's impossible to use the buttons to select either the previous and/or next channel (there's a dependency on how you accessed the schedule for that channel).
Here, E4+1 has no EPG data and will trigger this bug.
Hi,
thanks for your bug report and patch. Will be part of the next release.
BR,
