New option to restrict event searches

[Wade Coxon]

Referring to this thread: http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=10467

Propose a new setting "Event search scope" with options "All bouquets", "Current bouquet", and "Current service". With default option being "All bouquets" to replicate current behaviour of the event search feature.

I would prefer to have the default as "Current bouquet", and I've raised an issue in the oe-alliance/enigma2-plugins repository asking whether there would be any objection to that default rather than keeping backwards compatibility.

I suspect that "Current bouquet" won't go down well with the Europeans. They have a far more complicated broadcast system with heavy reliance on satellites. Use of lots of bouquets is very common.

To improve acceptability to the European maintainers I suggest you default to "All bouquets" and provide a local (Australian) hint for users to limit their searches to the "Current bouquet" to eliminate the silly duplicate services that we must endure.

I know that and that's why I'm not proposing to have the default as "current bouquet" on non-Beyonwiz systems. The discussion on Github has made it clear that on non-Beyonwiz systems, the default should be "all services" for backwards compatibility.

I've finished the work on this in the OE-Alliance repository. It should be ready for use in the Beyonwiz.
