NAME
     noannounce.conf – events not to be announced by OSD

DESCRIPTION
     This  file  contains  a events not to be announced by OSD when found by the
     search-timer background thread.

     If you press one of the keys 'OK' or 0 to 9 during an  event  announcement,
     you  will  be asked whether you want to disable future announcements perma‐
     nently (keys 'OK' or 0) or just for the next 1 to 9 days (corresponding  to
     the  keys  1 to 9). If you confirm by pressing the key 'OK' again, the set‐
     ting will be applied.

FORMAT
     Every line represents an event not to be announced, comprising the  follow‐
     ing fields:

     1 – Title
         String with the event's title.

     2 – Subtitle ("episode")
         String  with the event's subtitle, which often refers to the episode of
         a series.

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

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

     5 – Time of next announcement
         The date and time of the event's next announcement  in  Epoch  encoding
         (i.e., seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC).

         A value of 0 permanently disables future announcements.

     Fields  are  separated by ':' characters. Thus, a ':' character in title or
     subtitle will be translated to a '|' character.
