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.
