Block 6: Channel group definitions

5

All channels1*

All BBC channels2*BBC*Cbeebies All ITV channels1*ITV*

Channel Four group4Channel 4E4More 4Film4 Channel Five group1Five*

This block specifies the channel groups, being groups of channels across which a series link pattern could match. A channel is said to belong to a channel group if its name matches one of a number of patterns attached to that group; so, BBC channels as defined above are all channels with BBC somewhere in the name, or the Cbeebies channel; ITV channels just have ITV in the name; and so on.

The channel groups defined in the example here are the default groups: if no iguide.epc file exists, these channel groups are defined automatically. Note that if an iguide.epc file does exist, but contains no channel group definitions, then only “All channels” is created by default.

The first integer (5 above) is the number of groups in total. Following lines define a group thus:

group namenumber of patternspattern 0…pattern N

Block 7: Series link pattern definitions

BBC ONE1/Data Files/Dr Who/Doctor Who321080144016

EOF

This block specifies the series-link patterns for each channel or channel group. One channel/group per line, the block terminated again with an “EOF” string. Each line has the following format:

channel/group namenumber of patternspatterns

Each pattern has the following format:

programme title patternkeywordsinteger representing daysstart timeend time unique value

The start time and end time in the pattern line above are the number of minutes since the start of a day: 1080 = 6.00pm, 1440 = midnight.

Note that the programme title pattern may contain a ‘path’ like portion at the beginning. If it exists, this specifies the folder into which iGuide will move successfully recorded programmes matching the pattern. If no path-like portion exists, the recorded programme will remain in /Data Files.
