Timeshifting idea (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I noticed that when timeshifting is on the channel change is quite a bit slower, I presume this is cuased by the delay in writing/reading from a file rather that reading the stream directly from the memory. If this is true why don't we:

when timeshifting is enabled the video is still feed from the memory and only on skip events the feed is switched from memory to the saved file? a change channel event would trigger again the feed from the memory and only on skip action the file is used?
All this would work if my original assumption is correct.

Hi,

I had a look at the code and my idea doesn't seem trhat feasable anymore. Mp builds to different graph depending if TS is on or off which means that you can't simultaneously either read from memory or read from file. So short of building a class that implement this the only way to achieve faster switching is to make write/read faster.
I wonder how MCE overcomes this.
