This can be either a + "day of month" (1..31), which allows programming a "single shot" + timer that hits once and is deleted after it ends. Single shot + timers can be programmed up to one month into the future. + Another option here are "repeating timers" which are defined + by listing the days of the week on which they shall record. + For example, a timer that shall record every monday and wednesday + would have a Day setting of "M-W----". + Start: The start time of the timer in hh:mm as 24 hour ("military") time. + Stop: The stop time of the timer. + Priority: The Priority (0..99) is used to decide which timer shall be + started in case there are two or more timers with the exact same + start time. The first timer in the list with the highest Priority + will be used. This value is also stored with the recording and is + later used to decide which recording to remove from disk in order + to free space for a new recording. If the disk is full and a new + recording needs more space, an existing recording with the lowest + Priority (and which has exceeded its guaranteed Lifetime) will be + removed. + Lifetime: The number of days (0..99) a recording made through this timer is + guaranteed to remain on disk before it is automatically removed + to free up space for a new recording. Note that setting this + parameter to very high values for all recordings may soon fill up + the entire disk and cause new recordings to fail due to low disk + space. + File: The name under which a recording created through this timer will + be stored on disk (the actual name will also contain the date and + time, so it is possible to have a "repeating timer" store all its + recordings under the same name; they will be distinguishable by + their date and time). + If this field is left blank, the channel name will be used to form + the name of the recording. |
