<div>If you don't know what a Wiki is this [[About Wiki|text]] will help you.<br />
<br />
There is also a small help file, which explains the [[TVBrowser_Wiki:Editing help |formatting possibilities]].</div>Luxiferhttps://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php?title=Providing_TV_listings&diff=2005Providing TV listings2006-11-25T13:38:10Z<p>Luxifer: /* TV listings usage permit */</p>
<hr />
<div>==Requirements==<br />
<br />
Required skills:<br />
* Using a command line/terminal<br />
* Configuring software using text files<br />
* '''Creating programs''' that read websites or other sources and convert them to other formats. The language you use to do this doesn't matter. It should be possible to use anything like VB or Java. Without such a program you would need to convert the data manually. '''We strongly discourage converting the data manually!'''<br />
<br />
The operating system doesn't matter, the tools are written in Java and should run on any platform that runs TV-Browser.<br />
<br />
==Providing TV listings==<br />
<br />
There are three possibilities to get your listings into TV-Browser:<br />
<br />
===Excel/XML===<br />
<br />
We wrote a little tool to enter and extract data for one channel in a Excel sheet (we call such tools ''[[Primary Data Service]]'' or ''[[Primary Data Service|PDS]]''). <br />
<br />
Alternatively, it's possible to enter and extract the data to and from an XML file.<br />
<br />
How this works is explained in the [[TV Listings Tutorial|tutorial]]. It also explains the other tools you need to prepare the data.<br />
<br />
===Primary Data Service===<br />
<br />
There is also the possibility of writing your own [[Primary Data Service|PDS]] that reads the data from a website or some other source. Ofcourse, to implement such a service you have to know Java programming. If you do know Java read the [http://www.tvbrowser.org/downloads/docs/providetvdata_v1.1_de.pdf guide] about how to proceed.<br />
<br />
====Tips====<br />
<br />
* [[Processing Listings - Automatic conversion from Word/Excel to TXT/CSV using OpenOffice]]<br />
<br />
===TV data services===<br />
<br />
The third way to provide your listings is a program so called [[Plugin#TV-Data Services|TV data services]]. (See [[Tutorial: Development of a TvDataService]]). These will be loaded directly into TV-Browser as a [[plugin]]. An example of such a plugin is the [[NextViewDataService]].<br />
<br />
This third possibility should only be used in special cases. The development is much more involved than for a PDS, and everyone who wants to use your service needs to install a plugin, while in the PDS case he only needs to enter an URL.<br />
<br />
==More tips==<br />
<br />
=== TV listings usage permit ===<br />
<br />
To be allowed to use the listings of different TV/radio stations an official permission of the broadcasting service is needed. Here you can read an example mail<br />
<br />
Dear Sir or Madam,<br />
<br />
I am a volunteer of the free electronic program guide 'TV-Browser' (for information, please see<br />
"http://www.tvbrowser.org/"). This is an open source project without any commercial interests, <br />
meanwhile we already count over 80,000 active users.<br />
<br />
We wish to extend our program magazine by your [station/stations] [STATIONNAME/S]. That is why<br />
I ask you to furnish me an access to your press area with the permission for preparing and <br />
providing the program data on our web server for the users of the program guide.<br />
Moreover I would need your station emblem for viewing in the environment of the program information.<br />
<br />
Yours faithfully,<br />
<br />
[ABSENDERNAME]<br />
<br />
You should use friendly, but decisive wording.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' Do not forget to provide them with your name, address and phone number!<br />
<br />
[[de:Eigene TV-Daten anbieten]]</div>Luxiferhttps://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php?title=Search&diff=2004Search2006-11-25T13:35:48Z<p>Luxifer: </p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:Plugin_Search.png]]<br />
<br />
The Search Plugin makes provides a tool to search the data of TV-Browser.<br />
<br />
You can restrict the search to a certain period of time und a certain search field. For instance you can only search in the search field "Actor". Please pay attention to the [[Program data quality]]. Therefore you can for instance search for broadcasts with the word ''Documentary'' appearing in their description.<br />
<br />
Other provided search options are:<br />
{|<br />
|valign=top|"Match exactly"|| hear the text has to match exactly for the broadcast to appear on the results list. You can for instance separate between the two programmes ''Enterprise'' and ''Star Trek: Enterprise''. So with ''Godfather'' you won´t find ''The Godfather'', you would have to search for ''The Simpsons''.<br />
|-<br />
|valign=top|"Keyword"|| hear it is enough for the search text to appear in the field. In this case a search for "Godfather" would also find "The Godfather" or "The Godfather Part II".<br />
|-<br />
|valign=top|"regular expression"|| here you can name a [[Regular Expressions|regular expression]].<br />
|-<br />
|valign=top|"Boolean Search"|| here you can create a search expression with AND / OR / NOT and (). Please take care that the commands are written in CAPITAL LETTERS.<br />

<hr />
<div>==What is this?==<br />
<br />
With the Favorite-Programs-System you can manage your favorite programs. After each TV-program update it will search for your favorite program and hand them over to other plugins and reminders.<br />
<br />
==Create new Favorite==<br />
===Wizardmode===<br />
<br />
By default the Favorite-Programs-System uses a Wizard for choosing your favorite programs. With the Wizard your can choose the features of your favorite programs, step by step. <br />
<br />
To start the Wizard you can right-click on a program in the program table and choose "Add to favorite programs" from the context menu.<br />
You can also press the button "new favorite program" in the Favorite-Program-Management-System.<br />
<br />
The following dialogue will appear:<br />
[[Image:Favorites_wizard_step1.png]]<br />
<br />
Now you can choose if the program should be added by <br />
<br />
* name of the program = I like this program:<br />
* a certain word in the programs description = I like this subject:<br />
* an actor, playing in this movie = I like these actors:<br />
<br />
At each step you can click on "Done" to save your favorite, or click "Cancel" to stop. The button "next" takes you to the next step of the wizard, where you can set more options. It's also possible to go back a step if you want to alter some settings, click "Previous" for that.<br />
<br />
Clicking on "Next" takes you to:<br />
[[Image:Favorites_wizard_step2.png]]<br />
<br />
TV-Browser can automatically remind you when one of your favorite programs is about to begin. You can also choose to be notified right after the update of the TV-listings everytime a matching program is discovered. <br />
<br />
By clicking "Next" for the second time, you'll get to: <br />
[[Image:Favorites_wizard_step3.png]]<br />
<br />
Here you can limit the number of programs that will belong to this favorite.<br />
<br />
Clicking "Next" for the third time takes you to the final step: <br />
[[Image:Favorites_wizard_step4.png]]<br />
<br />
Here you can choose the name of your favorite, the way it will be displayed in the "Manage favorite programs" dialog and in the [[Appearance#Plugin_overview| Plugin overview]].<br />
By clicking "Done" you are finished and your new favorite will be added. <br />

<hr />
<div>=== General ===<br />
With the introduction of version 1.1 it is possible to navigate through the program table. The currently selected show is highlighted.<br />
<br />
<br />
http://wiki.tvbrowser.org/images/0/05/Tastaturmarkierung.jpg<br />
<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the keyboard-navigation the first highlighted show is the first current show in the first program. If there is another show highlighted, the operation of the keyboard operation will be started there. The highlighting is also used for certain mouse-operations. If an end of the program table is reached, another keyboard command in the direction of the end of the table brings you to the opposite end of the table, e.g. if you are on the left side of the table and you want to move further on to the left side through the program table, the program table will wrap around to the right side. <br />
<br />
'''Shows that are already expired can't be selected using the keyboard.'''<br />
<br />
=== Commands ===<br />
The following commands are defined for keyboard operations:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>'''CTRL + Cursor:''' navigates through the program table in the direction of the cursor keys</li><br />
<li>'''CTRL + D:''' unmarks the current highlighting</li><br />
<li>'''CTRL + P:''' switches to the day before</li><br />
<li>'''CTRL + N:''' switches to the next day</li><br />
<li>'''D:''' simulates a mouse-double-click on the currently highlighted show</li><br />
<li>'''M:''' simulates a mouse-middle-click on the currently highlighted show</li><br />
<li>'''R or the context-menu-key (from JRE 5.0):''' opens the context-menu of the highlighted show</li><br />
</ul><br />
<br />
<br />
The following commands are available in combination with the mouse:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>'''Shift + left-click:''' highlight the current show/unmark the current show</li><br />
<li>'''Shift + left-click + drag the mouse with the left button pressed:''' start the dragging of the show (the target of the dragging are the plugins in the plugin-overview)</li><br />
</ul><br />

<hr />
<div>What are Regular Expressions?<br />
Regular Expressions are powerfull wildcards. For example by using ".*ter\b.*" you will find all shows whose title includes a word that ends with "ter".<br />
<br />
Further information upon "Regular Expressions" can be found in this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression]Wikipedia Artikel.<br />
<br />
An explanation of the Syntax used in the TV-Browser can be found in the "Java-Documentation".</div>Luxiferhttps://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php?title=Settings:Start&diff=1995Settings:Start2006-11-25T13:31:35Z<p>Luxifer: </p>

<hr />
<div>== What's this? ==<br />
<br />
The Growl-Plugin makes it possible to show a reminder using the [http://growl.info Growl-System] on MacOS X.<br />
<br />
== Preferences ==<br />
<br />
[[http://wiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php/Bild:Plugin_Growl.png German Screenshot]]<br />
<br />
You may configure the title and content of the Growl message. For these texts the [[Parameter System|parameter system]] will be used.<br />
<br />
Having successfully edited the text you can generate a test message with Grow using the "Test Growl" Button.<br />
<br />
To start using the plugin for reminders, you first have to activate the transfer of reminders to it using the [[Reminder]] plugin.</div>Luxiferhttps://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php?title=Clipboard&diff=1993Clipboard2006-11-25T13:30:44Z<p>Luxifer: </p>
<hr />
<div>==What is this?==<br />
<br />
This plugin makes it possible to select several broadcasts and forward them to other plugins. At the moment this plugin is only useful together with the [[Calendar Export]] Plugin. You can create a list of broadcasts which can then be saved as vCal/iCal.<br />
<br />
On longer terms it is planned to change all plugins (at least where it makes sense) so that they can forward and receive their lists. For instance the [[Print program|Printing Plugin]] can be named. Therefore it would be possible to copy a list of broadcasts to clipboard and print them together. Or to simply send all reminders of the [[Reminder]] Plugin to the [[Calendar Export]] Plugin.<br />
<br />
==Configuration of the plugin==<br />
<br />
To add a broadcast to the clipboard you have to click on it with the right mouse button. The context menu appears. There you choose ''copy to clipboard''. The broadcast is now copied to the clipboard.<br />
<br />
To manage broadcasts or to send them to another plugin choose ''Clipboard'' in the ''Plugins'' menu. The following dialog appears:<br />
[[Image:Clipboardplugin_dialog.png]]<br />
<br />
In this dialog you can use the arrow buttons on the right side to change the order of the broadcasts. With the trash button under these buttons you can remove an entry from the list.<br />
<br />
With the button on the lower left you can forward the selected broadcasts to another plugin. For instance you can save all appointments to a [[Calendar Export|vCal/iCal file]].<br />
<br />
The second button on the lower left with the clipboard symbol is used to copy all broadcasts to the system clipboard.<br />

<hr />
<div>==General==<br />
===What is TV-Browser?===<br />
<br />
TV-Browser is a digital TV guide. It enables you to load the current TV program from the internet and view it offline with a great visual style. There is no need for a continuous online connection.<br />
<br />
===Which operating systems are supported by TV-Browser?===<br />
<br />
TV-Browser will run on all systems for which a Java Runtime Environment is available.<br />
Normally this is the case for all desktop systems. The [http://jdl.sun.com/webapps/getjava/BrowserRedirect?locale=en&host=java.com Sun Java Runtime Environment] must be installed prior to installing TV-Browser.<br />
<br />
Java installation instructions can be found [[Java_installation|here]].<br />
<br />
===Why is TV-Browser for free?===<br />
<br />
The TV program data is put at our disposal free of charge. The servers from which TV-Browser loads the data are provided by users who support us. Besides that we just like working on this project.<br />
<br />
===What differentiates TV-Browser from similar, but non-free/commercial services?===<br />
<br />
Paid services use professional editorial staff that prepare the program data or buy prepared data from another service. This is accordingly cost intensive.<br />
<br />
Our data is prepared automatically. Therefore we only need to maintain and improve the software that prepares the data.<br />
<br />
==Provided channels==<br />
===Which channels are provided by TV-Browser?===<br />
<br />
A list of all currently offered channels can be found [http://www.tvbrowser.org/component/option,com_tvbchannellist/Itemid,34 here].<br />
<br />
===Does TV-Browser support radio stations?===<br />
<br />
We are currently providing a few programs of radio stations. Possibly more will follow.<br />
<br />
===I'm missing the channel $FAVORITECHANNEL - can you provide this channel?===<br />
<br />
As for all channels, we first need the authorization to publicize the data.<br />
Then the data has to be edited so that TV-Browser can use them. This can be done automatically, but must be prepared and maintained.<br />
<br />
We currently provide over 50 channels. The more channels we provide the more effort is needed to maintain them, so we can't provide as many channels as desired.<br />
<br />
But TV-Browser offers the possibility to use channels not provided by us directly.<br />
<br />
===Which possibilities do I have to import my own TV-data into TV-Browser?===<br />
<br />
TV-Browser offers a Plugin-Interface for Data-Import. This allows TV-Data to be imported into TV-Browser. Information on importing data can be found in the [[Providing_TV_listings| Developers-Section]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile offering personal TV-Data has been made easy with our [[TV_Listings_Tutorial| TV-Data-Starterkit]].<br />
<br />
===What are Channel groups?===<br />
<br />
We implemented Channel groups so that Program-Data can be offered by third parties as well and not just by us.<br />
<br />
By adding a Channel group URL in the TV-Browser settings, TV-Browser can access all Channel data available for that Channel group.<br />
How to add a Channel group is described [[Update Channel List|here]].<br />
<br />
==Solving problems==<br />
<br />
===TV-Browser doesn't load new Program-Data===<br />
<br />
A internet connection is necessary to update Program-Data. Check if TV-Browser can access the internet.<br />
<br />
See also [[How to fix update problems]].<br />
<br />
Check if the clock of your operating system is configured correctly. This step is necessary for TV-Browser to update the right Program-Data for the different TV Channels. Otherwise it can occur that TV-Browser doesn't load the required Data because it expects the Data to be obsolete.<br />
[[de:FAQ]]<br />
<br />
===Everything is grey! Help! All my windows are grey! What can I do?===<br />
<br />
Update the drivers of your graphics card or start TVBrowser using TVBrowser_noDD.exe.<br />
This avoids that java uses DirectX to display the windows.<br />
<br />
===How can I start TV-Browser?===<br />
<br />
On Windows systems you must doubleclick the file "tvbrowser.exe". From the console you can start TV-Browser with<br />
<br />
java -jar tvbrowser.jar<br />
<br />
First you have to change to the appropriate directory. Alternatively you can use the "tvbrowser.sh" shell script.<br />
<br />
===Do I have the right Java-Version installed?===<br />
<br />
If you enter<br />
<br />
java -version<br />
<br />
at the console (Windows: DOS-Box, Mac OS X: Terminal), the output should look something like this:<br />

<div>=FAQ=<br />
<br />
==Which cinemas are available for TV-Browser?==<br />
<br />
*'''Cineplex''' cinemas (Bad Kreuznach, Bruchsal, Elmshorn, Frankfurt (Main), Friedrichshafen, Goslar, Limburg, Lippstadt, Mannheim, Marburg, Münster (Westf), Naumburg (Saale), Paderborn, Singen, Suhl, Warburg (Westf))<br />
*'''Breitwand''' cinemas (Herrsching, Seefeld, Starnberg)<br />
*About 100 '''CineStar''' cinemas in over 80 cities, among them also many small cinemas - a list of all cinemas can be found at the [http://www.cinestar.de/html/site.php "CineStar" web pages]<br />
*'''Hollywood Megaplex''' cinemas in Austria (Innsbruck, Linz, St. Pölten, Wien (2))<br />
*[http://www.cineworld-main.de/ '''Cineworld'''] cinema (in the "Mainfrankenpark")<br />
*[http://www.jenaonline.de/filmev/ '''Schillerhof'''] cinema in Jena (Thuringia)<br />
<br />
==When is my favourite cinema available?==<br />
<br />
Perhaps soon, perhaps never - it's the same as with the TV data: One (or several) cinema(s) will be available, when there is someone providing them. [[Providing_TV_listings|Also ''you'' can settle that - try it!]]<br />
<br />
==How can I provide a cinema guide?==<br />
<br />
For this the same procedure as when offering TV data is necessary.<br />
<br />
* Ask your cinema if you are allowed to use and provide the data<br />
<br />
* Read the [[Providing_TV_listings|Provide TV listings]] information<br />
<br />
For any problems or questions please use our [http://forum.tvbrowser.org/ forum]. We will help you as fast as possible.<br />
<br />
==How can I add the cinema-guide?==<br />
If you are using TV-Browser 2.1 or higher, you can use the channel/channel groups refresh buttons within the settings. For older versions please follow this instructions:<br />
<br />
* Click "Settings" -> "TvDataServices" -> "TV-Browser"<br />
* Open "Channel groups"<br />
* Click "Add"<br />
* Now you can type in the URL to the cinema guides<br />
** '''Breitwand''': <nowiki>http://kinotvbrowser.tagus.de/breitwand</nowiki><br />
** '''CineStar''': <nowiki>http://kinotvbrowser.tagus.de/cinestar</nowiki><br />
** '''Cineworld''': <nowiki>http://kinotvbrowser.tagus.de/cineworld</nowiki><br />
** '''Hollywood Megaplex''': <nowiki>http://tv.hermann.czedik.net/megaplex</nowiki><br />
** '''Jena Schillerhof''': <nowiki>http://tvradio.tv.funpic.de/data/JENA</nowiki><br />
** '''Wiesbaden Caligari''': <nowiki>http://www.xata.de/tvbrowser/cinevents</nowiki><br />
<br />
* Activate the channel group<br />
<br />
* Click the "Refresh" button near the channellist - the new cinemas will appear in the left column soon<br />
<br />
* Move the desired cinemas to the right column (list of active channels)<br />
<br />
* At last, click the "Refresh" button in the main menu<br />
<br />
==I receive the 'No mirror found for group' message==<br />
<br />
* Check your web connection<br />
* Check your firewall<br />
* Check the channel group's URL<br />
<br />
==Are there some other hints for me?==<br />
<br />
Sure. To seperate TV or radio channels from the cinema's data, you can setup a filter rule. So it is quite easy to switch between TV/radio and cinema schedules. For more information have a look at [[Filterrules|Filter rules]] or [[Filterrules_-_Example:_Subtitle|Filter rules - example: Subtitle]].<br />

<div>Before installing TV-Browser you should [[install Java]].<br />
<br />
To install<br />
<br />
* '''Windows''': Installer<br />
* '''Mac OS X''': Open the disk image and start the installer<br />
* '''Other''': Extract the zip file or look for [[More Packages|alternative packages]].<br />
<br />
If you want to install TV-Browser for multiple users you can change the [[Settings:Directories|TV listings folder]] to a shared directory. This helps to reduce the traffic generated by TV-Browser. Since our traffic is donated to us, everyone should try to use as little as possible.<br />
<br />
If you have problems with the installation, please read the [[FAQ]] (Frequently Asked Questions) or post your question in the [http://forum.tvbrowser.org TV-Browser Forum].<br />
<br />
A TV-Browser installation consists of the following files and directories:<br />
<br />
'''Installation directory'''<br />
{|<br />
|imgs/<br />
||The images<br />
|-<br />
|plugins/<br />
||This directory contains the plugins. If you download plugins from the internet, move them into this folder. TV-Browser will automatically detect them.<br />
|-<br />
|themepacks/<br />
||This directory contains the skins for TV-Browser. You can also put them into any other directory.<br />
|-<br />
|tvdataservice/<br />
||This directory contains the TV-DataServices. The default installation contains exactly one TV-DataService, called TvBrowserDataService, which loads the TV listings of TV-Browser.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Home directory'''<br />
<br />
The [[Home directory]] contains the respective users' settings.<br />

<hr />
<div>==No connection==<br />
<br />
===Correct date?===<br />
<br />
If no error message appears but nothing new is downloaded, check the date settings of your computer!<br />
<br />
===Is a Firewall installed?===<br />
<br />
Your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_%28networking%29 firewall] should allow TV-Browser to use outgoing port 80. <br />
<br />
The name of the proces that actually initiates the connection, depends on the Operating System you use, e.g.<br />
<br />
* Windows: javaw.exe<br />
* Mac OS X: JavaApplicationStub<br />
<br />
You can read about how to do this in the documentation of your firewall or in this [[Firewalls|guide]].<br />
<br />
===Is GData Antivir installed?===<br />
<br />
GData Antivir has problems if internet traffic monitoring is enabled. Please disable internet traffic monitoring.<br />
<br />
===Is a proxy installed?===<br />
<br />
If you are using a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server proxy server], you have to set it up in TV-Browsers [[Settings:Proxy| Proxy Settings]].<br />
<br />
===Is the data path correct?===<br />
<br />
Make sure the path entered in ''TV-Browser/Settings.../Technical settings/Directories'' exists.<br />
<br />
==Only some days/channels are missing==<br />
<br />
If only the data of some days or channels are missing you should first check<br />
[http://tvbrowser.awn-design.de/tvbrowser/ here] or [http://sender.wannawork.de here] if the data for that day is available.<br />
<br />
If that's the case you should update a second time. Sometimes you encounter a [[Mirrors|mirror server]] that is not completely up to date.<br />
<br />
If this doesn't help you should remove all files with names starting with 200*_ in ''Install path''/tvdata/tvbrowserdataservice.TvBrowserDataService. These contain the data of the servers. <br />
<br />
Also remove all files in ''Install path''/tvdata with de_ or at_ and try to update again. If this still doesn't work ask in our [http://forum.tvbrowser.org forum].<br />

===Plugin icons===<br />
<br />
Some [[Plugin| plugins]] are able to place symbols in the bottom right corner of a show. An example for this is the [[TV_Rater| TV-Rater]] plugin. Here you can choose which plugin icons will be displayed and in which order.<br />
<br />
Please note that if there's not enough space to display all neccessary icons, only the first icons are shown. As soon as there is not enough space available for the icons, no new icon is added. This might lead to a situation where, for example, a plugin could present an icon, but for space reasons it is however not shown.<br />
<br />
===Info text===<br />
<br />
The info text is all the text that is displayed under a programs title. Mark those fields whos information you want to show and set their order.<br />
Please keep in mind that the program information at our disposal is not always accurate enough to be able to show all information. (see also [[Program_data_quality| data quality]])<br />

<hr />
<div>== Filterrules ==<br />
On the upper right of the TV-Browsers Iconbar (funnel-icon) you can filter out the broadcasts. You can see all broadcasts, only marked or you can define your own filter and use them here.<br />
<br />
What does that mean?<br />
<br />
For instance you can only show shows which are called "Zeit im Bild" and broadcasted on "ORF" or see only broadcasts which are longer than 40 minutes and stereo.<br />
<br />
And now "How to do that?!":<br />
<br />
As an example i will show you how to filter broadcasts stations (...and there are quite much more possiblities ;-))...<br />
<br />
Behind the funnel-icon is a pulldown menu. By default the "show all" is marked, which will mean that no filter is set an you see all broadcasts from all stations. By choosing "Edit filter..." a window will show where you can define, redefine or delete your filtersets.<br />
<br />
== Create a filter ==<br />
In our case we want to add a new filter. So just click the "New..." Button ;-).<br />
<br />
Now a dialog is presented with three areas:<br />
<br />
''1. Filter name:''<br />
Here you put the "prettyname" of the filter you are defining. In our case "Austrian Channels".<br />
<br />
''2. Filter rule:''<br />
Here the filterrules are defined. As the example shows you can link several filter components (more later in the text) and associate them using "and", "or", "not" also parenthesise is possible. But in our case we still do not have filter components, so let's goon there ;-)<br />
<br />
''3. Filter components:''<br />
Here you can see your defined filter components and define your statements which are used in your filter-queries . ATTENTION: All filter components you define are NOT unique for THIS filter. By deleting one you might kill some other filters!<br />
<br />
== Create a filter component ==<br />
Now we are going to create a filter component wich will filter for all austrian channels.<br />
<br />
As first you have to click "New". Now there are also several things to be defined:<br />
<br />
''1. Component name:''<br />
That is the name of your filter component (NOT the name of the filter!).<br />
In our case we will type in "AustrianChannels".<br />
<br />
''2. Description:''<br />
Here you should place a short description of you filter component. This will be show on the filter-editting-menu!<br />
In our case "only austrian channels" that's okay, isn't it? ;-))<br />
<br />
''3. Type:''<br />
Now it is going to be interesting. Here you have to choose between the different possiblities. You can choose "Program length" (ie all programs longer than 20 minutes) or "Additional Information" (ie Subtitles). But in our case we want to see dedicated channels so we choose "Channel".<br />
<br />
''4. Component settings''<br />
Now you simply check all the channels you want. In our case the austrian like orf-1, orf-2, atv,...<br />
<br />
That's it. Finish the definition part by clicking "OK" and your filter component is created. You can define some more filter components within this session and they will be link to the filter with an "or" statement automatically.<br />
<br />
== Examples for filterrules ==<br />
<br />
A detailed example can be found at: [[Filterrules_-_Example:_Subtitle| Filterrules - Example: Subtitle]] (to be written..) or [[Filterrules_-_Example:_Films| Filterrules - Example: Films]]<br />

<hr />
<div>== What is the Reminder? ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The Reminder does exactly what its name imposes. It reminds you of shows you would like to watch. Please be aware that it can only remind you, if the TV Browser application is active in the background!<br />
<br />
== Settings ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:reminder_settings.png]]<br />
<br />
You can choose, how you would like to be reminded.<br />
* Reminder window<br />
A dialogue will pop up showing details about the show you wanted to be reminded of.<br />
* Play sound<br />
The selected sound will be played. Supported data types are wav, aif, rmf, au and midi.<br />
* Run application<br />
An external application will be started using the [[Parameter System]].<br />
<br />
<br />
It can even be defined that a remembered show will be transferred to a plug-in. To do this, please select the respective plug-ins in the '''Send reminded program to''' section.<br />
<br />
If you would like to be reminded with a reminder window, you may configure the display time of the dialogue.<br />
<br />
You can define a standard time the Reminder will use when creating a new entry.<br />
<br />
Please activate '''Show time selection dialog''' if you would like to be asked for the time of the reminder each time a new entry is created.<br />
<br />
==Reminder==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Reminder_Dialog.png]]<br />
<br />
Use the menu '''Plugins->Edit reminder list...''' to get to the reminder overview. Here you can select reminders and remove them by clicking the trash can.<br />
<br />
You can adjust the reminder time by clicking the edit symbol or by double clicking the cell in the second colum.<br />
<br />
To add a show to the list right click its entry in the program table and select "Remind me" in the popup menu.<br />
<br />
To export a show to a plugin click the middle button of the three on the bottom left while the show is selected. This way you can easily print all reminders for example. To do that you just export them to the [[Print program|print plugin]].<br />
<br />
The settings button onn the left opens the settings page of the reminder.<br />
<br />
==Miscellaneous==<br />
* [[KNotify]] for Linux as a reminder for shows<br />
* [[Reminder via CapturePlugin]] in Windows<br />
* [[Growl]] for Mac OS X as a reminder for shows<br />

[[de:Erinnerungen]]</div>Luxiferhttps://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php?title=Tutorial:_Development_of_a_TvDataService&diff=1945Tutorial: Development of a TvDataService2006-11-23T10:13:17Z<p>Luxifer: </p>
<hr />
<div>The TV listings in TV-Browsers are loaded by special [[Plugin|plugins]] we call DataServices. This allows us to add new channels to TV-Browser arbitrarily ().<br />
Die TV-Daten werden in TV-Browser über spezielle Plugins - wir nennen sie DataServices - geladen. Auf diese Weise läßt sich TV-Browser beliebig um weitere Sender erweitern (provided that someone has access to the listings and writes a corresponding DataService).<br />
<br />
This tutorial describes the basic steps for developing a DataService. For further help we recommend the [http://www.tvbrowser.org/providetvlistings.php TvDataStarterKit] and looking at the [[For Developers|JavaDoc documentation]] of TV-Browser as well as the source code of the existing DataServices.<br />
<br />
== Setting up the development environment ==<br />
<br />
Add the Jar file <code>tvbrowser.jar</code> (this can be found in the TV-Browser installation directory) to the Java class path.<br />
<br />
== Implementing ==<br />
<br />
Develop a class that implements the <code>tvdataservice.TvDataService</code> interface.<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
* To continue using TvDataServices of TV-Browser version 0.9.7 they have to inherit the abstract class AbstractOldTvDataServiceBridge (or implement the new interface).<br />
* Instead of implementing the TvDataService interface directly you can also use the class <code>util.tvdataservice.AbstractTvDataService</code>.<br />
* All methods of this class are called by the host application (i.e., TV-Browser) and thus constitute entry points of the plugin.<br />
* The class has to be contained in a package of the same name as the class in lowercase.<br />
<br />
==Creating the Jar file==<br />
<br />
Next, you need to pack the DataService into a single file, to make installing and providing it to other people simpler.<br />
<br />
The following command creates the Jar file:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
jar cvf MyTVDataService.jar mytvdataservice<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''Important:''' The name of the Jar file has to be identical to the class name (including the lowercase/uppercase letters).<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
<br />
Copy the newly created Jar file into the ''dataservice'' directory of your TV-Browser installation. Finally, restart TV-Browser and use your DataService by clicking ''Update...'' in the menu ''TV listings''.<br />
<br />

<div>===2002===<br />
<br />
Martin has analysed the TVgenial data format and put the specifications online, hoping that someone would write a client for the data, which would also run on Martin's [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh Mac]. Due to a lack of interest, Martin started to write a client on his own in January 2003, using the plaform independent language [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28Programmiersprache%29 Java].<br />
<br />
He offered this client to [http://www.tvgenial.de TVgenial], as they only have one client, that runs but on Windows systems.<br />
<br />
===April 2003===<br />
<br />
When TVgenial rejected the offered client, Martin decided to offer his client under the name "TV-Browser" as [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source Open Source-project] on [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tvbrowser SourceForge].<br />
<br />
For legal reasons he removed the part which would load data from TVgenial. Instead, Martin designed the system in order to allow others to read own data (today known as [[Plugins#TV-Daten-Services|TV-Data Service]]), which means that a TV-Browser existed, but did not contain any data.<br />
<br />
===March 2003===<br />
<br />
Til joined Martin and wrote the first public [[Plugins#TV-Daten-Services|TV-Data Service]]. He got his TV data in [http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/ XMLTV]-format from an Austrian server.<br />
<br />
===September 2003===<br />
<br />
The host of the server that provided the XMLTV-data discontinued his service, hence TV-Browser didn't have any more data.<br />
<br />
===November 2003===<br />
<br />
The first version with its own TV data is online. Martin and Til had created an own TV-data format (... as Martin knew by now how to do this http://forum.tvbrowser.org/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif ). Both started with a rather meager choice of channels, but were nevertheless confident, that they soon would be able to stock up the number of available channels.<br />
<br />
Since then, the data is directly drawn from the channels, exported into the TV-Browser format and provided on servers, which had been provided by volunteers specially for the TV-Browser project.<br />
<br />

<div>[[Image:Settings_channelgroups.png]]<br />
<br />
Everyone has the possibility of offering channels (see also [[Providing_TV_listings| providing tv listings]]).<br />
<br />
So that each user can activate these channels comfortably in the TV-Browser, there are the so-called channel groups. Each provider produces his own group of channels.<br />
A list of the channel and channel groups can be found [http://www.tvbrowser.org/component/option,com_tvbchannellist/Itemid,34 here].<br />
<br />
To find new channel groups, simply click on "Refresh list". Now the TV-Browser will connect to our server and gets the list of known channel groups. These can now be activated or deactivated individually.<br />
<br />
After you've activated a new channel group, you should update the [[Settings:Channel list| channel list]] and subscribe to the new channels.</div>Luxiferhttps://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php?title=WebPlugin&diff=1941WebPlugin2006-11-23T10:12:35Z<p>Luxifer: </p>
<hr />
<div>== What is it? ==<br />
the WebPlugin enables you to submit shows to other webpages. This can be used in a virtually unlimited number of ways: Google searches, show the selected show's IMDB ratings, etc.<br />
<br />
==Configuration==<br />
===Modifiy List===<br />
This plugin makes it possible to store any desired number of websites. A few sites have already been stored and can not be altered. The buttons on the lower left let you add, edit, delete or activate/deactivate the selected item in the list (in this case, a website).<br />
===Edit Items in the List===<br />
To submit a show to another website, you must enter the site's URL. Please familiarize yourself with the details of using the [[Parameter system]].<br />

<hr />
<div>Translators note: The content of this page is a direct translation from the german wikki, I did not write the content by myself<br />
<br />
Further images will follow as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
===What is this?===<br />
<br />
The TV Rater-Plugin enables you to rate broadcasts (also radio broadcasts) and to see ratings given by other users.<br />
<br />
You can also watch the ratings on the [http://tvaddicted.de TVAddicted.de] Website.<br />
<br />
===Settings===<br />
<br />
[[image:Plugin_ratings_settings.png]]<br />
<br />
After you have activated the plugin you will have to create a user account. This is necessary to clearly identify your ratings. '''The information will not be passed to any third party'''.<br />
<br />
So if you do not have a user account yet, please click on Create new account. TV-Browser should now open your web browser, presenting the registration page. Here you can enter your preferred username and password. After a succesful registration you can enter the data in the plugin.<br />
<br />
If nothing happens after pressing "Create new account" or a black window opens, you will need to configure your web browser.<br />
<br />
If you want to have your ratings showed in the TV listing in favor, you have to activate ''Use own rating if available''. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can choose how often the data will be updated.<br />
* With every update of the TV data<br />
* Every time you rate a broadcast<br />
* At every launch of TV-Browser<br />
* only manually<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that every update will require an open internet connection.<br />
<br />
You can also make your ratings visible in the program table, looking like this:<br />
<br />
[[Image:Plugin_ratings_icon.jpg]] <br />
<br />
To have your ratings show in the program table, please enable this under [[Program display]].<br />
<br />
===Rating-Overview===<br />
[[Image:Plugin_rating_overview.png]]<br />
<br />
With a click on plugins-tv ratings you will be presented with the overview window. There are two listings included.<br />
''Overall Ratings'' and ''Your Ratings''.<br />
<br />
''Overall Ratings'' shows all ratings for broadcasts showing soon. At every update the system first tries to identify broadcasts to be aired soon and asks their ratings from the server. This is due to reduced bandwidth usage. Please do not forget: This service is free.<br />
<br />
''Your Ratings'' displays all broadcasts which have been rated by you on this machine. Presently, broadcasts rated on the [http://tvaddicted.wannawork.de tvaddicted.wannawork.de] Website can not be displayed this way.<br />
<br />
Every broadcast has two icons; the first icon presents the overall ratings, the second is your personal rating. Grey icons represent data not available.<br />
<br />
You can also do a manual update using the ratings overview. With every update, your data will be sent to the server as well as new ratings fetched.<br />
<br />
By double-clicking on a specific broadcast or clicking on "View" you can open the ratings display for this broadcast.<br />
<br />
===Rating-Display===<br />
[[Image:Plugin_rating_display.png]]<br />
<br />
Within the rating display you can see detailed information regarding the rating. Also this is where you can rate a broadcast yourself.<br />
<br />
Showing in brackets next to ''Overall rating'' is the total count of ratings given.<br />
<br />
Genres are split in two blocks: Film features and other broadcasts. These blocks have different background colors. Additionaly, there's a point "Others" for broadcasts not fitting in any scheme.<br />
<br />
Two more buttons are of concern here: Left is a possibility to show all air-times of the given broadcast, right is a direct link to the broadcast on the [http://tvaddicted.wannawork.de TV-addicted website].<br />
<br />
===Rating a broadcast===<br />
<br />
There are three possibilities to rate a broadcast:<br />
<br />
* You can either go to the rating overview and rate the broadcast there<br />
* Or directly in the program table, right click on a broadcast to show its rating details and rate there<br />
* Finally you can also rate on the [http://tvaddicted.de Website].<br />
<br />
But please do rate! This service can only exist if EVERY user rates.<br />
The more ratings, the more realistic the overall rating will be.</div>Luxiferhttps://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php?title=Editing_help&diff=1938Editing help2006-11-23T10:11:33Z<p>Luxifer: </p>
