+ when you open an event's or recording's info screen. This information
+ includes for a recording its channel, size, priority, lifetime, audio
+ languages and some values that selected plugins (epgsearch, VDRAdmin-AM,
+ pin) have set. For an event the audio languages are shown.
+
+- Show remaining/elapsed time
+ Here you can set if you want to read the number of minutes an event is
+ already running (preceded by "+") or the number of minutes an event will
+ run (preceded by "-") in the channel info.
