Programming the Timer
Use the "Timer" menu to maintain the list of timer controlled recordings.
The parameters in the "Edit timer" menu have the following meanings:
●
Active: Defines whether the timer will be processed
(set it to 'no' to temporarily disable a timer).
●
Channel: The channel to be recorded (as defined in the "Channels" list). Any changes
made in the "Channels" list (like renaming or reordering channels) will be automatically
reflected in the timers settings.
●
Day: The day on which this timer shall start. This can be a date (like 2005-03-19), which
allows programming a "single shot" timer that hits once and is deleted after it ends.
○
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----".
○
The '0' key toggles between a single shot and a repeating timer.
○
If "Day" indicates a repeating timer, the keys '1'...'7' can be used to toggle the
individual days ('1' is Monday).
○
Switch to a set of predefined repeating timer settings by pressing the "Left" key
when the day is the present day.
○
To return to the single shot mode just press "Right" until a date is displayed.
●
Start: The start time of the timer in hh:mm as 24 hour ("military") time.
●
Stop: The stop time of the timer.
●
VPS: Defines whether the timer shall use VPS (if available).
○
If this option is set to 'yes', the start time must exactly match the program's VPS
time, otherwise nothing will be recorded.
○
If VPS is used, the stop time has no real meaning. However, it must be different
than the start time, and should correspond to the actual stop time of the program,
just in case there is no real VPS data available at the time of recording, so VDR
has to fall back to normal timer recording.
●
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.
○
A timer with a higher priority will interrupt the timer with the lowest priority in
order to start recording.
