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.

       announcement, you will be asked whether you want to disable future
       announcements permanently (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 setting will be applied.

FORMAT
       Every line represents an event not to be announced, comprising the
       following 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.
