<p class="p">You can programm play/recording events with the timer plugin. Simply select a station
and choose <span class="guiseq"><span class="gui">Station</span>Â â–¸ <span class="gui">Extensions</span>Â â–¸ <span class="gui">Add timer...</span></span>.
A small popup will ask for a data/time string. If you press <span class="key"><kbd>OK</kbd></span> the station
and the programmed time
will be stored in the bookmarks channel in the "timer" category.</p>
<div class="note note-tip" title="Tip"><div class="inner"><div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">Note that streamtuner2 must be running for the programmed timer events to work.
(In a future version there might be the option to have it handled by the system cron
daemon.)</p></div></div></div></div>

<div class="hgroup"><h2 class="title"><span class="title">Time specification strings</span></h2></div>
<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">The time and date specificators follow a simple scheme. It's always one or more day names
followed by a clock range, and finally the action.</p>
<p class="p">For example "<span class="code">Mon,Tue,Wed</span>" will make the event occour on the first
three days of each week, while just "Fri" would limit it to Fridays.</p>
<p class="p">A clock range of "<span class="code">18:00-20:00</span>"
would start the event at 18 o'clock and last it two hours. Note that for "play" events, the end
time is irrelevant, since streamtuner2 can't kill your audio player anyway.</p>
<p class="p">The end time is only important, if you replace "play" with the word "<span class="code">record</span>"
in the timer event string. This runs streamripper instead and limits the recording time.</p>

<div class="hgroup"><h2 class="title"><span class="title">Editing events</span></h2></div>

<p class="p">You can remove entries from the "timer" list again. Use the normal <span class="guiseq"><span class="gui">Edit</span>Â â–¸ <span class="gui">Delete</span></span> for
that. It's also possible to modify the date+time strings by editing the stream info and
the specification in the "playing" field.</p>
<div class="note note-warning" title="Warning"><div class="inner"><div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">However, such changes don't take effect until you restart streamtuner2. The timer
events are only scheduled when adding a new event, or on starting streamtuner2.</p></div></div></div></div>
