💖 epgsearchchangrps.conf(5) 💖

okay so bestie, you know how EPGSearch is literally the moment? Well this file is where the channel groups live, and I'm about to tell you everything about it. The manual name is epgsearchchangrps.conf(5) btw, and this is the EPGSearch Version 2.4.6 era ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

epgsearchchangrps.conf – channel groups, periodt.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so in EPGSearch, channels can form channel groups, and those groups can be used in searches and search timers. It's giving central management realness — you can scan channels for multiple searches and search timers without losing your mind 💅

The channel groups are saved in this file. That's literally it. No cap.

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

Each line defines a channel group and starts with the group name, followed by the list of channels it comprises. The | character serves as the field separator — yes bestie, that's the vibe check for parsing 🫶

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

Private broadcasting|S19.2E-133-33-46|S19.2E-133-33-51
Pro7 primary|S19.2E-133-33-46|S19.2E-133-33-47
RTL primary|S19.2E-1-1089-12003|S19.2E-1-1089-12090

see how it's giving? group name, then the channels, all separated by |. iconic behavior honestly 🍓
