Hello,

I'm new user of media portal and busy evaluating it to use it as a VCR.
I'd like to suggest a little feature that I have on my old VHS VCR and that I find quite useful. Nevertheless I did not ever find it in a HTPC.

It goes about adding a duration behind the "record now" button so that you can decide to record the current TV program for 30 min., 1h, 2h, ...

The use case is the following: you're busy looking at a TV program late at night, you fall asleep and want to record the end of a TV show. You can schedule a new record but it is a little bit heavy whereas you only want to record the record the current channel for 30 min or 1h and shut down your PC afterwards.

I think this must not be difficult to program and can be useful...

    According to your use case, this is a function already available - if you click Record Now, you're given the option to stop the recording manually, or when the show finishes ("want to record the end of a TV show").

    Ok, thanks for this quick reply.
    I'll test it again when I'm back at home because I did not see this.
    Maybe I was really tired, it is a real use case :D
