[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] New VDR plugin: epgfixer

[Matti Lehtimäki]

Hi

I made a new plugin to remove parental rating from the end of title in
EPG when separated by parentheses, for example "Program title (12)". The
obtained parental rating is then placed into correct EPG field. The
feature can be activated/disabled from plugin setup.

Requirements:
VDR-1.7.26 or later

If there are other features related to handling of EPG data you would
like to add please let me know. I'll be happy to integrate them to this
plugin.

Nice idea for a plugin.

How about adding the capability to define regular expressions to alter
the epg data? I think it would allow a great deal of flexibility as
practically anything can be done with regexes :)

You'd need to work hard on the UI to make it user friendly though.


Best regards,

I have already started to add preliminary support for regular
expressions. Hopefully I'll manage to create support for at least simple
regular expressions with PCRE soon. I'll look into more complex support
later.

I have yet to decide how regular expressions are to be given by user.
Especially if data is to be moved between EPG fields. Good ideas are
welcome.

any potential for picking up shows with 'original air date' ?
this could help in my quest to add an ability to vdr to record 'just new
shows' - currently not possible afaik.
