[QUOTE="Brownard, post: 1289533, member: 48291"] I've started to implement automatic import of recordings, there are a couple of things to consider. TvMosaic returns the recorded tv item as soon as the recording starts, however when playing back an ongoing recording the stream will only play up to wherever the recording had reached at the time the stream was requested, i.e. if you start playback 2 minutes into a recording you can watch those 2 minutes then the stream stops (whereas TV Server keeps appending to the stream until the recording completes), which probably makes watching ongoing recordings impractical as you'd have to keep restarting and FF the stream to get the next bit of the recording. Additionally if we import the recording at this point then the duration gets stored as the duration at that particular point and we'd need to figure out which items have changed duration when reimporting to update the duration, which is possible but not easy. The easiest thing to implement is to only import recordings that have actually finished, so they are guaranteed to be fully playable and have the correct metadata. Any objections to this? [/QUOTE]
