But please remember that current development only concentrates on bug fixing - so please be a little patient with requests ;)

Ahum, this is the "Feature request" forum. Isn't it? :wink:

By the way, I totally agree with this request. It is a very good feature, get that timeshift when you need it. It is more logical that way instead of having to enable it beforehand and perhaps never use it for the whole evening, slowing down channel shifting etc.

Count me in -- I'd definitely use this feature if it was available, especially since (at least in my setup) timeshifting causes pretty significant unreliability in MyTV. With TS off, I get snappier channel changes and fewer cases where TV stops working altogether, whereas with TS on it's pretty common for MyTV to fail completely on channel-change requiring a restart of MP.

Turning TS on when it's first requested (at least with a 'pause', obviously it'd be no good trying to action-replay) would be something I'd use, no doubt about it.

Another vote for this feature.

I also find that enabling Timeshifting in MP leads to sluggishness and instability when changing channels - this often requires a restart. The idea of recording everything you watch is fine, but it would need to work far more smoothly for me.

I like the way timeshifting is handled in Showshifter. Recording starts when you hit pause, and continues until you press stop or change channels.

Just as a thought, it would be great if there was an option to record a 'buffer' of maybe 30 seconds or a minute in ram (perhaps a ramdrive or just a chunk of available memory). This would allow us rewind if something amazing happened, without contantly hammering the hard disk.

I tried setting the windows screensaver to power off the display on my MP1 HTPC but in fact it only blanks the screen ("no video signal") on the TV I suspect the AVR has something to do with that.

I have looked at your log files, but as usual they are unintelligible gobbledegook. (I am sure that the original developers who wrote that code know what the log entries mean, but those developers have long since retired from the MP team.) I regret to say that I think that you will have to use the "brute force" method to track down...

@CyberSimian As I have just posted in the MP2 subforum I will stay with MP1 for the time being. Many thanks for all your very informative and detailed responses. I will take your advice and monitor the Scheduled recordings list for the discrepancies you have described. Cheers.
