Setting timer for less than 30 minutes?

lalala987 · 2006-08-30, 21:52

Hi

as i am testing MP, and currently trying out the timer.
Is it possible to set the timer to and "exact" value like 21:21 and not using one of the preset values of : 21:20, 21:25, 21:30 etc??
and can i record less than 30 mintues, since i just want to try out something?

regards
Stefan

There is no way to currently do this from the manual recording window in MediaPortal. I have asked about it before but it seems like there is no interest in modifying this feature or allowing the user to customise recording. Personally I would prefer 15 minute granularity in recording time, or the ability to enter a start and end time over the scrolling through a gigantic list of times. Also, at the moment, it is impossible to start a manual recording at midnight, as the time list starts at 00:05 and ends with 23:55 (at least the last time I checked).

Well, i am also looking for this feature, just to enter the start en and time manually with my remote. This because my epg data is just for one week, and want to shedule recording for over 2 or 3 weeks. This because i'm sometimes more than two weeks on business trips etc.

So the scrolling through a gigantic list isn't very handy.
