<b>Filtering (or searching)</b>
|

<hr>
|

<p>In the EPG top tool bar you can access five input fields.
|
||||
These are used to filter/search for events. The form uses implicit AND
|
||||
between the input fields. This means that all filters must match
|
||||
for an event to be displayed.

<dl>

<dt>[Search title...]
|

<dd>
|
||||
Filter on the event title. The filter uses case insensitive regular
|
||||
expression. If you don't know what a regular expression is this means
|
||||
that you can type just parts of the title and filter on that too.
|
||||
(No need for exact matching).
|
||||
<dt>[Filter channel...]
|
||||
Only display events that match the given title. The filter uses case-insensitive
|
||||
regular expressions. If you don't know what a regular expression is, this simply
|
||||
means that you can type just parts of the title and filter on that - there's no need
|
||||
for full, exact matching.</dd>
|
||||
<dt>[Filter channel...]</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Only display events from the selected channel. Channels in the drop down are
|
||||
ordered by channel number and can be filtered (by name) by typing in the box.
|

<dt>[Filter tag...]

<dt>[Filter tag...]</dt>

|

<dt>[Filter content type...]
|
||||
Only display events from channels which are included in the selected tag.
|
||||
Tags are used for grouping channels together - such as 'Radio' or 'HDTV' - and are
|
||||
configured by the administrator. You can start typing a tag name to filter the list.</dd>
|
||||
<dt>[Filter content type...]</dt>
|

<dd>
|

Most DVB networks classify their events into content groups. This field
|

allows you to filter based on content type.
|
||||
Only display events that match the given content type tag. Most DVB networks
|
||||
classify their events into content groups. This field allows you to filter based
|
||||
on content type (e.g. "Sports" or "Game Show"). Supported tags are determined by
|
||||
your broadcaster. Again, simply start typing to filter the entries if you have a
|
||||
long list to choose from.</dd>
|
||||
<dt>[Filter duration...]</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Only display events that fall between the given minimum and maximum durations.
|
||||
This allows you to filter for or against, say, a daily broadcast and a weekly omnibus
|
||||
edition of a programme, or only look for short news bulletins and not the 24-hour
|
||||
rolling broadcasts.</dd>
|
||||
<dd> </dd>
|
||||
<dd>Options are:</dd>
|
||||
|
||||
<table class="hts-doc-text" border="0">
|
||||
<tr><td>00:00:01 to 00:15:00 - for very short news bulletins, children's programmes, etc.</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>00:15:01 to 00:30:00 - for short programmes, e.g. daily soap operas</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>00:30:01 to 01:30:00 - for medium-length programmes, e.g. documentaries</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>01:30:01 to 03:00:00 - for longer programmes, e.g. films</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>03:00:00 to no maximum - for very long programmes, e.g. major sporting events</td></tr>
|

|

Thus, if you only would like to browse Movies from your HD-channels you
|
||||
would select 'HDTV' in the [Filter tag...]-field, and select
|
||||
'Movie / Drama' in the [Only include content...]-field.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Notice that you don't have to press a 'Search' button, the grid immediately
|
||||
updates itself as you change the filters.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you would like to clear all filters, just press the [Reset] button.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So, if you only want to see Movies from your available HD channels, you
|
||||
would select 'HDTV' in the <i>[Filter tag...]</i> field, and select
|
||||
'Movie / Drama' in the <i>[Filter content type...]</i> field. If you wish, you
|
||||
could then further limit the search to programmes of between 90 minutes and 3 hours by
|
||||
selecting '01:30:01 to 03:00:00' in the <i>[Filter duration...]</i> field.</p>
|
||||
<p></p>
|
||||
<p>Note that you don't have to press a 'Search' button: the grid immediately
|
||||
updates itself as you change the filters.</p>
|
||||
<p></p>
|
||||
<p>You can clear an individual filter by simply deleting its contents, or by selecting
|
||||
<i>'(Clear filter)'</i> as appropriate on all except the title filter. If you want to
|
||||
clear all filters, just press the <i>[Reset All]</i> button.</p>

|

In large installations with many channels and full EPG feed there could be
|
||||
tens of thousands of events in the database.
|
||||
Therefore the EPG display employs a paging bar at the bottom of the grid.
|
||||
Use it to browse backwards and forwards in the EPG. It also displays the
|
||||
total amount of events matched by the current query.
|
||||
|
||||
<dt>Event details and recording
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
If you click on a single event, a popup will display detailed information
|
||||
about the event. It also allows the user to schedule the event for recording
|
||||
by clicking on the [Record program] button.
|
||||
<p>If you click on a single event, a popup will display detailed information
|
||||
about the event. It also allows you to schedule the event for recording
|
||||
by clicking on the <i>[Record program]</i> button.</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For EPG providers that supply series link information there will also be a
|
||||
[Record series] button that will record all entries in the series.
|
||||
<i>[Record series]</i> button that will record all entries in the series.</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For events without any series link information, a [Autorec] button will be
|
||||
provided to create a pseudo series link using the Autorec feature.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<img src="docresources/epg2.png">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To close the popup, just close it with the [X] window button.
|
||||
The popup is not modal and you can open as many detailed information popups
|
||||
as you want.
|
||||
For events without any series link information, an <i>[Autorec]</i> button will be
|

provided to create a pseudo-series link using the autorec feature.</p>

|

<p></p>
|
||||
<p>If you schedule any kind of recording from this point, you can choose a specific
|
||||
DVR profile that will apply to the recording or autorec rule. This will normally show
|
||||
as <i>(default)</i>, but you can define different profiles in the <b>Configuration ->
|
||||
Recording -> Digital Video Recorder</b> tab. This allows you to set, for example, more post-
|
||||
broadcast padding for a channel that always runs late, or perhaps define a different
|
||||
post-processing command to strip adverts out on a commercial channel.</p>
|
||||
<p>You will also see a <i>Search IMDB</i> link to look for the programme by name on
|
||||
imdb.com, and a <i>Play</i> link to watch a programme that's already in progress. This
|
||||
second link downloads a playlist file (XSPF or M3U depending on your startup options);
|
||||
if your system is configured for it, this will automatically launch an appropriate
|
||||
player, otherwise you will need to manually open the playlist to start watching (normally a
|
||||
double-click on the downloaded file).</p>
|
||||
<p></p>
|
||||
<p>To close the popup, just click on the [X] window button.
|
||||
The popup isn't modal, so you don't have to close it before doing something else,
|
||||
and you can open as many detailed information popups as you want.</p>

<dt>Autorecordings

Should you wish to record all events matching a specific query. (Record
|
||||
your favorite TV-show, etc) you can press the [Create Autorec] button
|
||||
in the top toolbar.
|

A popup with details about the to-be-created autorecording rule needs to
|

be confirmed before the rule takes effect.
