I was wondering if a feature to begin/stop timeshifting on a channel could be added.
I love the rich functionality of the interface. I can use it in my method to stream live TV to my Pocket PC. I pick a show that is currently coming from the satellite provider and then "record" it. This causes the TV server to begin recording the show and then I use VLC to transcode and send the media stream out to the internet and my Pocket PC media player then gets served by VLC.
To change channels, I use the web interface to cancel the current recording and then stop the DVB device in the TV server setting. Then I go back to the guide and pick another program that I want to watch and repeat the process. If it would be possible to just begin timeshifting a channel and then be able to stop timeshifting it would be less clunky.
nice idea. specially to avoid having to use mp on the clients or in other words...to be able to watch tv on clients that dont have a supported video card by mediaportal.
