epgsearchdirs.conf - Man Page

In EPGSearch, you often have to enter entire directory paths, for example, when editing search timers. Since this is rather tedious, frequently used paths can be specified in this file, which can then be easily selected from the menu.

This file is one of the sources for the Select directory menu. The items displayed are collected from the following sources:

• current recording directories
• current timer directories
• directories used in search timers
• directories specified in this file
• entries in the VDR file folders.conf

The menu consolidates the found directories and displays only distinct ones. The key yellow allows changing the level of the directories shown. Items containing EPG category variables, like %Genre%, always appear before other directories. They also do not depend on the level and are shown with their full directory path.

If this menu is called from the timer-edit menu and the selected item already contains the variables %Title% or %Subtitle, the timer's File entry gets cleared, since title or subtitle already included in the Directory item.

Each line contains the pathname of a directory that can include variables, if necessary. You can use internal variables, those of EPG categories configured in epgsearchcats.conf, and variables defined in epgsearchuservars.conf.

The following internal variables are available:

%Time%

An event's start time in 'HH:MM' format.

%Time_D%

An event's start date in 'DD' format.

%Time_W%

Name of the weekday on which an event starts.

%Time_Lng%

An event's start date and time in Epoch encoding (i.e., seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC).

%Date%

An event's start date in 'DD.MM.YY' format.

%DateSh%

An event's start date in 'DD.MM' format.

%Title%

An event's title.

%Subtitle%

An event's subtitle.

Also see epgsearchcats.conf(5) and epgsearchuservars.conf(5) for further variables.
