Watching a recoding wich is allready in recording?

Da_Phreak · 2005-11-04, 23:51

Hi,

does Media Portal gives me the ability to begin to watch a recorded movie or something other, wich is allready in recording. I mean not the classic definied timeshift. For example, i have a timed recording programmed an come to home, the movie runs since 30 minutes and is on recording. Can i start now to watch it, or i have to wait until the recoding of the whole movie is done?

Hi,

sure, you can directly begin to watch it!

I am doing this already sometimes. Just start My TV. It shows the currently recording program. Make it fullscreen and now you can jump to the beginning of fhe show.

Just watch it like normal. You even can skip comercials. This does not influence the recording process at all. The only thing you cannot do is changing the channel (single tuner) while recording.

Flip.

OK thx then i can go buying a DVB-C card now. I know that this function was not supportet from WinTV2000 from hauppage, wich i former used. That was very unpracticable.

@ Flipger

I always thought this isnt implemented, yet.
How do I jump to the start of the current recording :?:

you enter the scheduled recordings where you will see the recording show (marked with the red dot). after you click it, you'll be asked if you wish to watch from live point or watch from beginning... works just fine

@TimmyT, I never realised you could do it this way...
I always use Flipgers method.

Pretty cool, every thing seems to have been thought of
