How can I get new eplists daily?

After installation, edit /etc/eplists/cron.d-eplists.example, change hour, minute, user and option "-o" (the path to your lists directory) to your needs. Then copy the file to /etc/cron.d/eplists.

How often should I fetch the eplists?

Usually 1x a day is enough.

For what is the patch in contrib/?

If you use tvmovie2vdr Version 0.5.14, then you can patch it and tvmovie2vdr will include the season number, episode number etc. into the EPG.

How can I use it with epgsearch?

Read after installation the comment in /etc/eplists/epgsearch-vdrseriestimer.conf.example

Or read VDRSeriesTimer.pl and Epgsearch?.
