Tvheadend has a built in Electronic Program Guide. The EPG is an in memory
|
|
database populated with all the information about events received from
|
|
the DVB networks or from XMLTV.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The EPG tab displays a filterable paged grid containing all the events
|
|
sorted based on start time.
|
|

<dl>
|
|
<dt>Filtering (or searching)
|
|
<dd>
|
|
In the EPG top tool bar you can access four 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>[Only include channel...]
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Only display events from the selected channel.
|
|
<dt>[Only include tag...]
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Only display events from the channels which are included in the selected tag.
|
|
Tags are used for grouping channels and is configured by the administrator.
|
|
<dt>[Only include content...]
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Most DVB networks classify their events into content groups. This field
|
|
allows you to filter based on content type.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
Thus, if you only would like to browse Movies from your HD-channels you
|
|
would select 'HD channels' in the [Only include 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.
|
|
|
|
<dt>Paging
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
In an installation with many (hundreds of) channels and full EPG feed from
|
|
both DVB and XMLTV there will 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>
|
|
<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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Autorecordings
|
|
<dd>
|
|
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.
|
|
<p>
|
|
A popup with details about the to-be-created autorecording rule needs to
|
|
be confirmed before the rule takes effect.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img src="docresources/autorecpopup.png">
|
|
<p>
|
|
The autorecordings can later be changed/deleted in under the
|
|
'Digital Video Recorder'-tag. Use that editor if you temporary want
|
|
to disable an autorecording or make adjustments, etc.
