[QUOTE="Timberwolf99, post: 1180530, member: 156204"] hi, so i was just looking into installing this plugin in my development environment and was thinking about the above sentence, seems to me that it should be made up of one file e.g the recording. so i have a idea please, feedback is welcome. Why cant the plugin just lock the tuner for the duration of the recording. (i know there will be a hardware limit as the time shift buffer drive is a finite size. but really all that is needed is 2 hrs maybe 3 for most movies) then when the recording is finished format the files and move them appropriately. And not need to attempt to merge the two files. Most people also should know by now that if the time shift buffer doesn't cover the start of the program there is no getting it back and just record what you can. an example a=time shift buffer []=record button press b=recording so this is how it is at the moment i think, aaaaaaa[]bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb() [] grab buffer, plus prerecording time if possible, if not grab what is available and save ts buffer file, lock tuner and start recording () recording stopped, unlock tuner and save to recording folder. what i propose aaaaaaa[]aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa() [] grab buffer, plus prerecording time if possible, if not grab what is available and lock tuner () recording stopped, unlock tuner and format file to play in TV recordings if required and move to recording folder. just seem logical to me that its essentially the same information why separate it when you can post process it when the recording is finished. once again any feedback is more than welcome.
