; DVBViewer Recording Service IP address
: The hostname or IP address of the server where DVBViewer Recording Service is installed and running. If on the same machine then 'localhost' or 127.0.0.1 can be used.
; Webinterface Port
: Port of Recording Service Webinterface
; Username / Password
: Login credentials for the Recording Service Webinterface
; Use favourites instead of channel list
: Display channels of favourites file instead of whole list. Small favourites list speeds up startup time.

; Enable Timeshift
: Enable or disable timeshift support.
; Timeshift buffer path
: The path to the timeshift buffer file. If you watch a channel for a long time you might run out of disk space (depends on your free space). Switching channel will truncate the file.
; Use RTSP streaming for live TV
: Use RTSP instead of MPEG transport stream for live TV. At present this disables timeshift support.
; Enable low performance mode
: Disables loading of channel logos and recording thumbnails. Use on low performance devices such as the Raspberry Pi
