Hi all,

I just recognized, that MP starts no timeshift stream, when a scheduled recording starts.

It is impossible to view the current recording.

Same issue here with analoge tv cards too.

Hi all,

the solution is a patch in Scheduler.cs of the TVService.

The following code must be modify:

if (_controller.SupportsSubChannels(cardInfo.Card.IdCard) == false)
        {
          Log.Write("Scheduler : record, now start timeshift");
          string timeshiftFileName = String.Format(@"{0}\live{1}-{2}.ts", cardInfo.Card.TimeShiftFolder, cardInfo.Id, _user.SubChannel);
          if (TvResult.Succeeded != _controller.StartTimeShifting(ref _user, ref timeshiftFileName))
          {
            return false;
          }
        }

I did not understand, why the timeshift should not start, if the TVcard supports subchannels.

If I uncomment the

 // if (_controller.SupportsSubChannels(cardInfo.Card.IdCard) == false)

-instruction, all seems to work.

The stream will start, when the scheduled recording starts.

Is that modification correct?

I will attached a binary of the TVService, based on the svn 12935, so sombody may check it with other TVcards.

It is impossible to view the current recording.

Can somebody tell me what the server SHOULD do?

if a schedule rec is started and NO clients are conencted:
A:\ Should the server start to streaming?
b:\ should the server start a timeshift file?
c:\ only record, no ts no stream?

Regards

I still get C, but I do not know if this is suppose to happen or not (svn last night)

[Frodo]

for dvb it is: c: only record, no timeshifting files
for analog it is: record and timeshifting files.

No matter what you use, you can always view the recording
while it is still recording...

 

[lar282]

thank u Frodo.

Hmm.... I could never play a 'still recording file' with the internal player.
I could connect to the stream while recording. (in a previous svn version)

For my understanding:
Is the timeshifting file necessary to connect to the stream, or can the client connect directly to the recording files, if a scheduled recording running?

 

[SciDoctor]

I have had no problems with the client connecting directly to recording files.

I haven't tried the timeshifting fix yet, i hope it doesn't just start another buffer stream which will tax space and HD utilisation.

Something more inteligent like a parallel information file with timestamp data referencing the recording but this may not be possoble when you have a mix of TS and MPEG choices for recording.
