The fields in a timer definition have the following meaning (from left
to right):
- - Timer active (0 = inactive, 1 = active)
- Values larger than '1' can be used by external programs to mark active timers
+ - Timer active (0 = inactive, 1 = active, 3 = instant recording)
+ Values other than these can be used by external programs to mark active timers
and recognize if the user has modified them. When a user modifes an active
- timer the 'active' field will be explicitly set to '1'.
+ timer the 'active' field will be explicitly set to '1' (or '0', respectively,
+ if the user deactivates the timer).
+ Note: in order to allow future extensibility, external programs using the
+ 'active' parameter should only use the upper 16 bit of this 32 bit parameter
+ and leave the lower 16 bit untouched.
- Program number of the channel to record
- Day of recording (in case of a repeating timer), either one or more of
