This plugin parses the extended EPG data which is send by Premiere on their
nathan@2
    17
portal channels (e.g. SPORT PORTAL). This EPG data is transmitted in a
nathan@2
    18
non-standard format on a non-standard PID.

This work is based on the premiereepg2vdr commandline tool, which was written
nathan@0
    21
by Axel Katzur software@katzur.de.

premiereepg2vdr can be found at:

Note: the EPG entries created with this plugin aren't fully compatible with
nathan@0
    26
entries created by premiereepg2vdr. This plugin used a different sheme (IMO more
nathan@0
    27
reliable) to map the EventID. If you're upgrading from premiereepg2vdr you
nathan@2
    28
should delete your epg.data file, otherwise you will see duplicate EPG events.

The plugin can tag option events i.e. the same event with the same time on
nathan@2
    31
different channels e.g. F1 sub channels. The tagging format (e.g. before or
nathan@2
    32
after event name) can be selected in the plugin setup menu.
nathan@6
    33
In addition there are two switches in the plugin setup menu to control inclusion
nathan@6
    34
of order and parental rating information into the event description.

Beside this, there is nothing big to say:
nathan@0
    37
nathan@0
    38
- There are no commandline options for this plugin.
nathan@0
    39
- There is no plugin mainmenu entry.
nathan@0
    40
- Everything should work automatically. Whenever a device is tuned to a Premiere
nathan@0
    41
  channel i.e. by EPG scan or manually, the Premiere EPG scan is triggered.
