+# /etc/conf.d/vdr.markad
+
+# Configuration:
+
+#  A few settings are given on the command line rather than in the setup menu.
+#  Available options:
+#
+#    -b DIR,   --bindir=DIR          use DIR as location for markad executable
+#                                    (default: /usr/bin)
+#    -l DIR    --logocachedir=DIR    use DIR as location for markad logos
+#                                    (default: /var/lib/markad)
+#
+#              --loglevel=<level>    sets log level of started markad process (standalone, not the plugin) to the specified value
+#                                    <level>: 1=error 2=info 3=debug 4=trace
+#
+#              --astopoffs=SECONDS   assume stop of the recording SECONDS after the end of the EPG time.
+#                                    default is 0 s
+#                                    If end marks are to early, try to add some seconds
+#
+#              --cut                 cut video based on marks and write it in the recording directory
+#                                    there are no splits of the target file, make sure your filesystem can handle big files
+#
+#              --ac3reencode         re-encode AC3 stream to fix low audio level of cutted video on same devices
+#                                    requires --cut
+#
+#              --autologo=<option>   0 = disable, only use logos from logo cache directory
+#                                    1 = deprecated, do not use
+#                                    2 = enable (default)
+#                                        if there is no suitable logo in the logo cache directory markad will
+#                                        try to find the logo from recording and store it in the recording directory
+#                                        If this option is set you can not configure this feature from the VDR menu
