Function Documentation

SetClientIndex()

void SetClientIndex ( unsigned int  clientIndex )

inline

required
The index of this timer given by the client.

PVR_TIMER_NO_CLIENT_INDEX indicates that the index was not yet set by the client, for example for new timers created by Kodi and passed the first time to the client. A valid index must be greater than PVR_TIMER_NO_CLIENT_INDEX.

GetClientIndex()

unsigned int GetClientIndex ( ) const

inline

To get with SetClientIndex changed values.

SetState()

void 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);

GetState()

PVR_TIMER_STATE GetState ( ) const

inline

To get with SetState changed values.

SetTimerType()

void 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);

GetTimerType()

unsigned int GetTimerType ( ) const

inline
