NAME
       epgsearchswitchtimer.conf – switch timers

DESCRIPTION
       Switch timers can be created in EPGSearch via the menu 'Schedules' or
       by means of search timers. They can switch the channel at the beginning
       of an event or just inform about an event's start by OSD.

       The switch timers are saved in this file.

SYNTAX
       Every line represents a switch timer, comprising the following fields:

       1 – Channel identifier
           String   with   the  channel  identifier  in  VDR  notation  (e.g.,
           'S19.2E-1-1019-10301').

       2 – Event identifier
           Integer with the VDR's unique event identifier.

       3 – Start time
           The event's start date and time in Epoch  encoding  (i.e.,  seconds
           since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC).

       5 – Margin at start [minutes]
           Integer with a positive value.

       5 – Action
           Enumeration with the following values:

           0 = switch only
           1 = announce by OSD
           2 = announce by OSD and switch



       6 – Unmute sound
           Flag with values 0 = no, 1 = yes.

       The fields of a switch timer are separated by ':' characters.
