Could anyone advise if there are plans to implement the ability to include the time-shift buffer in a recording.
As it stands at the moment, if you are halfway through a show and decide to start a manual recording, the recording will ONLY start from the moment you press the record button. None of the information already recorded in the timeshift buffer will be included.
It is disappointing this feature is not in the current version of MediaPortal as it used to be in the standalone version and it is a feature available in most other HTPC systems/apps. (Although IMHO none come close to MediaPortal as a complete package)
Could I ask anyone who thinks this feature is a good idea to reply to this post.
Everyone I know who uses MediaPortal agrees that this is a sorely missed feature. Maybe if this thread gets enough activity it might be noticed.
I have searched the forums and the last I can find on this feature were improvements being attempted by gemx in 2010 https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/other-features-release-svn-versions-130/step-2-add-already-watched-ts-buffer-recording-81937/index3.html but since his departure it appears nobody has continued the work.
