Background Recording

In MediaCentre, recording and scheduling is handled by an external process.

The advantgages of this are:

MediaCentre does not have to be running to record
If MediaCentre crashes (which happens alot) it won't affect the recording
The external recording process can have a higher priority than MediaCentre itself

Is this how MediaPortal works?
If not, is this planned for a future release?

Yes - if you use the client-server version (TVE3) of the MediaPortal TV engine. The standard version of Mediaportal uses TVE2, which does not do what you described.

Check on the MediaPortal home page and in the Wiki, for more information about TVE3.
