[QUOTE="hurley, post: 1171825, member: 151395"] [COLOR=#0000b3][B]What is EPG Cleaner?[/B][/COLOR] EPG Cleaner is a TV-Server plugin, which allows DVB EPG data to be cleaned or filtered as it is loaded into the TV-Guide. Remove spam or prefixes and suffixes from program titles and description text, which make the TV-Guide difficult to read and cause problems with scheduling. For example if your TV network appends words like 'New' or 'Repeat' or 'Premiere' to program titles in an inconsistent manner, or parental ratings like (12) or (16) which are different for each episode, you may need to create multiple schedules for your favourite series to avoid missing any episodes. Examples like these will also result in series recordings being scattered over multiple folders in Recorded TV. EPG Cleaner uses Regular Expressions (RegEX) to create powerful and highly flexible filters for your guide data to remove these unwanted parts. Each filter may apply to all channels or only selected channels. [COLOR=#808080][I]"RegEx sounds too complicated for me"...[/I][/COLOR] [INDENT]Don't worry, EPG Cleaner has a [I]Simple[/I] mode which uses wildcards like * and ? which most Windows users should be familiar with.[/INDENT] • For more examples or help with RegEx or plugin settings, please download and read the user guide linked in this post. [COLOR=#0000b3][B]What is Schedule Repair?[/B][/COLOR] Schedule Repair is an integrated feature of EPG Cleaner designed to improve some aspects of MediaPortal's scheduling system. MediaPortal does a great job of scheduling recordings but some schedule types don't handle dynamic guide data very well. Schedule Repair tracks changes to program start and end times for these schedule types and updates the schedule accordingly. If your schedules occasionally disappear from MediaPortal's TVGuide, record with the name of the previous show or miss the end of a show with last minute schedule changes, Schedule Repair can help. [COLOR=#bfbfbf]_____________________________________________________________________________________________________[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000b3][B]User Guide[/B][/COLOR] A comprehensive user guide and Regular Expression reference is installed along with the plugin and is also available as a separate download here. If you have any specific questions or feedback, please post to this forum thread. [COLOR=#bfbfbf]_____________________________________________________________________________________________________[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000b3][B]Installation[/B][/COLOR] Installation is handled by the MediaPortal Extension Manager. Just download and launch the [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/epgcleaner_1-0-2-0-mpe1.178978/'][B]EPGCleaner_1.0.2.0.mpe1[/B][/URL] file from this post or the plugin repository, or start the MediaPortal Extension Manager from your desktop shortcut, browse for [I]EPG Cleaner[/I] and click [I]Install[/I]. [COLOR=#ffa64d][B]**For TV-Server only installations**[/B][/COLOR] The MPEM system is not available on TV-Server only installations. You will need to download and run the stand-alone installer contained in [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/epgcleanersetup_1-0-2-0-zip.178979/'][B]EPGCleanerSetup_1.0.2.0.zip[/B][/URL] from the linked downloads in this post. [COLOR=#404040][B]**Manual Installation**[/B][/COLOR] If you have any problems with the MPEM or stand-alone installers you can download the appropriate zip file package for your MP version. Just extract the zip file's contents to your TV-Server Plugins folder, enable the plugin in TV-Server Configuration and re-start the TVService. (Note that using this option will not add the plugin to the MP Extension Manager) [COLOR=#bfbfbf]_____________________________________________________________________________________________________[/COLOR] MP Plugin Repository Listing: [B][URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/epg-cleaner-schedule-repair']EPG Cleaner & Schedule Repair[/URL][/B] [SPOILER="Change Log"] [B]Version 1.0.2.0[/B] (2016-05-20) [LIST] [*]Bugfix: Plugin config was slow to load with large number of channels [/LIST] [B]Version 1.0.1.0[/B] (2016-03-11) [LIST] [*]Maintenance release [*]Fixed minor bug in GUI filter table [*]Improvements to EPG data pre-processing [*]Code cleanup and prepare project for source release [/LIST] [B]Version 1.0.0.0[/B] (2016-01-16) [LIST] [*]First official release [*]Added MPEI installer [/LIST] [/SPOILER] [ATTACH]176790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]174854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]174855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]174856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]174857[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]175045[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
