optional
Genre sub type.

Subtypes groups related to set by SetGenreType:

---

Example:

...
kodi::addon::PVRTimer tag;
tag.SetGenreType(EPG_EVENT_CONTENTMASK_MUSICBALLETDANCE);
tag.SetGenreSubType(EPG_EVENT_CONTENTSUBMASK_MUSICBALLETDANCE_JAZZ);
...

SetGenreType()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetGenreType ( int genreType )

inline

optional
Genre type.

---

Example:

...
kodi::addon::PVRTimer tag;
tag.SetGenreType(EPG_EVENT_CONTENTMASK_MOVIEDRAMA);
...

Note

If confirmed that backend brings the types in ETSI EN 300 468 conform values, can be EPG_EVENT_CONTENTMASK ignored and to set here with backend value.

SetLifetime()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetLifetime ( int priority )

inline

optional
Lifetime of recordings created by this timer.

Value > 0 days after which recordings will be deleted by the backend, < 0 addon defined integer list reference, == 0 disabled.

SetMarginEnd()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetMarginEnd ( unsigned int marginEnd )

inline

optional
If set, the backend ends the recording selected minutes after SetEndTime.

SetMarginStart()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetMarginStart ( unsigned int marginStart )

inline

optional
If set, the backend starts the recording selected minutes before SetStartTime.

SetMaxRecordings()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetMaxRecordings ( int maxRecordings )

inline

optional
Maximum number of recordings this timer shall create.

Value > 0 number of recordings, < 0 addon defined integer list reference, == 0 disabled.

SetParentClientIndex()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetParentClientIndex ( unsigned int parentClientIndex )

inline

optional
For timers scheduled by a repeating timer.

The index of the repeating timer that scheduled this timer (it's clientIndex value). Use PVR_TIMER_NO_PARENT to indicate that this timer was no scheduled by a repeating timer.

SetPreventDuplicateEpisodes()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetPreventDuplicateEpisodes ( unsigned int preventDuplicateEpisodes )

inline

optional
Prevent duplicate episodes.

Should 1 if backend should only record new episodes in case of a repeating epg-based timer, 0 if all episodes shall be recorded (no duplicate detection).

Actual algorithm for duplicate detection is defined by the backend. Addons may define own values for different duplicate detection algorithms, thus this is not just a bool.

SetPriority()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetPriority ( int priority )

inline

optional
The priority of this timer.

SetRecordingGroup()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetRecordingGroup ( unsigned int recordingGroup )

inline

optional
Integer ref to addon/backend defined list of recording groups.

SetSeriesLink()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetSeriesLink ( const std::string & seriesLink )

inline

optional
Series link for this timer.

If set for an epg-based timer rule, matching events will be found by checking with here, instead of SetTitle() (and SetFullTextEpgSearch()).

SetStartAnyTime()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetStartAnyTime ( bool startAnyTime )

inline

optional
For EPG based (not Manual) timers indicates startTime does not apply.

Default = false.

SetStartTime()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetStartTime ( time_t startTime )

inline

optional
Start time of the recording in UTC.

Instant timers that are sent to the add-on by Kodi will have this value set to 0.

SetState()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetState ( PVR_TIMER_STATE state )

inline

required
The state of this timer.

Note

PVR_TIMER_STATE_NEW is default.

---

Example:

kodi::addon::PVRTimer tag;
tag.SetState(PVR_TIMER_STATE_RECORDING);

SetSummary()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetSummary ( const std::string & summary )

inline

optional
The summary for this timer.

SetTimerType()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetTimerType ( unsigned int timerType )

inline

required
The type of this timer.

It is private to the addon and can be freely defined by the addon. The value must be greater than PVR_TIMER_TYPE_NONE.

Kodi does not interpret this value (except for checking for PVR_TIMER_TYPE_NONE), but will pass the right id to the addon with every PVRTimer instance, thus the addon easily can determine the timer type.

Note

PVR_TIMER_TYPE_NONE is default.

---

Example:

kodi::addon::PVRTimer tag;
tag.SetTimerType(123);

SetTitle()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetTitle ( const std::string & title )

inline

required
A title for this timer.

SetWeekdays()

void kodi::addon::PVRTimer::SetWeekdays ( unsigned int weekdays )

Note

PVR_WEEKDAY_NONE is default.

---

Example:

...
kodi::addon::PVRTimer tag;
tag.SetWeekdays(PVR_WEEKDAY_MONDAY | PVR_WEEKDAY_SATURDAY);
...
