3. Example for vdr commands.conf

Using the commands.conf is a little tricky, because vdr seems doesn't accept svdrp connections
while some external command is executed from menu/commands. Therefore exist a little trick to
use premeireepg2vdr. Also its possible to get an Message after premiereepg2vdr has done his work.

Update Premiere EPG Sport  : echo "premiereepg2vdr -q -c PREMIERE\ SPORT\ PORTAL -o -u -z -w 1 -m premiereepg2vdr\ finished" | at now
Update Premiere EPG Direkt : echo "premiereepg2vdr -q -c PREMIERE\ DIREKT -u -z -w 1 -m premiereepg2vdr\ finished" | at now

events the event name will be added with "Option n". For Formula 1 means this:

Option 1 = Formel 1 / Supersignal
Option 2 = Formel 1 / Supersignal
Option 3 = Cockpit
Option 4 = Renndaten
Option 5 = Highlights
Option 6 = Multisignal
Option 7 = Interaktiv

This function can be disabled with the option -n.


5. Check for saved EPG data

The VDR checkt at the transmission of the epg data only the syntax und doesn't save the informationen from channels, who the vdr doesn't 
know. premeireepg2vdr check on default if the data saved by the vdr. The check will be perfomred by the request of the saved epg data 
of the channels how premiereepg2vdr found on the cit. Get the programm no data from the VDR the programm will warn you. You can disable 
the function with -e.


6. Zap to old channel

The Option (-z) can be used to call the last channel to switch back to the current running program. Premiereepg2vdr call (over the svdrp)
the function to hit a key (0). When you are using the director plugin and start itself, you must use also option -u to exit the director plugin.
