I am looking for people that would like to help test a new EPG search plug-in. It is optimized to allow quick text entry via the remote. For example, typing 234 will match any entries that contain any of 2abcáâãäåæ for the first character, any of 3defèéêë for the second character, and any of 4ghiìíîï for the third character. In my EPG this matches words like Behind, Behaving, Begins, etc. In this way it is very quick to spell any word using just the remote. You can, of course, also type in letters if you have a keyboard.

The search can be based off of the entry name or the entry description.

The text matching can be restricted to text that start with the search text, for entries that have any word that starts with the search text, or for entries that contain the search text embedded anywhere in any word.

The search can be across the entire EPG or filtered based on the unique ID prefix to just search movies, sports, episodes, or shows.

The results list includes indications if the show is already scheduled, scheduled but in conflict, or a duplicate of a previously recorded show. All of these are skinnable. In the screen shot below, duplicates are indicated by a red circle with a D, currently scheduled items with a blue circle with a S and conflicts (of which there are none_ with a red cross. This makes it very easy when you are searching the schedule to see if you have already recorded the given entry.

As a word of warning, the plug-in does some direct writes to the database, so if you are interested in testing you should either backup your database now and again or be aware that there may be bugs that could cause problems with scheduled recording. I have been using the plug-in for many months on my own without problem, but I have fairly simple scheduling habits and have not really out it through its paces.

Send me a PM if you are interested. I will be putting together the install package in the next week or two.

A suggestion for this is you get it going, and was something that I was thinking of.....

Maybe store a list of words/phrases to search for ("Two Pints" say for "Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of crips") , and when that is found in the EPG, stil a message in the VA Panel. For things like shows that have gone off air and you're waiting for them to come back.

Woohoo! I have been waiting for something like this for ever....

If you could search by schedule (eg, what movies are on saturday night at 8pm?) that would be fantastic.

Good stuff Jeff.

Jeff,

I would love to see this plugin! Give us a way to store the searches and then present them when there are shows available.

For example, I could create a search for Vegas and check back every couple of days to see if there is something I want to record.

Have you released this plugin yet? If not, I'd like to "test" it! Big Grin
