Recording running programs

ehobel · 2006-10-19, 15:35

Is it possible to record a still running program from the beginning with information from the time-shift buffer?

Yes, just hit record now and a pop up appears.
Choose "record this show" and the part that's in timeshift will be included to the recording.
This only works, if you have EPG-data, otherwise MediaPortal doesn't know where the show starts and ends.

Regards
Ralph

I have suggestion for this. Sometimes show starts earlier than it should according to EPG (especially web EPG). It will be good feature to show option after hit record like:
1. Record this show
2. Record until manual stop
3. Record from beginning of the TS buffer until manual stop
And maybe:
4. Record this show from beginning of the TS buffer

I think that this is to heavy form implementation, but in same cases very useful.

in many cases useful (I wished for it in the past)
