This makes the + user switch through the predefined values by just pressing one key and without hassling with + vdr's main menu. By default the predefined values are: + Disabling, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 + In combination with 'Use default for Autoswitch' the 'Default Timespan' value will be + integrated in this sequence and calling the autoswitch function will start with this + value. + +Green / Disable: +-Disables an active sleeptimer. |
