Description:

This plugin is part of the dvdr (distributed vdr) project of the University of
Karlsruhe. It is responsible for the (automatical) exchange of EPG data between
the participating nodes.

The EPG data exchanged ranges from the past (which may be tuned by the
parameter "EPG linger time" in the Setup/EPG menu) to the near future (namely
one day in advance). As the EPG linger time is specified in minutes and this
plugin gathers the data for whole days, the number of days for which EPG data
is exchanged is calculated as follows:
   EPG_linger_time / (24*60)  -  1

We recommend to set the EPG linger time to 21600 minutes which results in the
EPG data for the last two weeks.
