Hi, I'm not able to stop TV in fullscreen, everywhere else were I've tested it works it also works if I watch a movie from my movies in fullscreen. I looked at the code in TvFullScreen.cs and I think the problem might be in the select case. The last case looks like this:

case Action.ActionType.ACTION_STOP:
if (g_Player.IsTVRecording)
{
g_Player.Stop();
}
break;


I don't know why it's checking if IsTVRecording but still I was never able to get this to true even if I was recording so g_Player.Stop is never executed. I tried to change this to: if (g_Player.IsTimeShifting) this works but then g_Player.doStop() is fired twice as the output of mediaportal.log reveals:

2008-07-21 15:09:07.424811 [Info.][MPMain]: g_Player.doStop() keepTimeShifting = False keepExclusiveModeOn = False
2008-07-21 15:09:07.425811 [Info.][MPMain]: g_Player.OnStopped()
2008-07-21 15:09:07.478811 [Info.][MPMain]: g_Player.doStop() keepTimeShifting = False keepExclusiveModeOn = False
2008-07-21 15:09:07.478811 [Info.][MPMain]: g_Player.OnStopped()
2008-07-21 15:09:07.480811 [Info.][MPMain]: TvRecorded:OnStopped TV C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\timeshiftbuffer\live1-0.ts.tsbuffer
2008-07-21 15:09:07.481811 [Info.][MPMain]: g_Player.doStop() - stop

So that's probably not the right solution either, but you devs out there probably have a better solution to this!

You cannot stop fullscreen TV, you need to exit it and then press stop, this is by design to not accidently delete the timeshift buffer.

Okay I just have to get used to it then, what I don't understand is why it's more dangerous to accidently delete the timeshift buffer while in fullscreen than anywhere else?

Hey, how about an OSD message popping up for a few seconds? Just like the key lock on a cell phone. It would look nice and could help new users from confusion

Sorry but i dont see the point here. There has to be a solution to this. Every player stops when you press stop. This has been a major annoyance from the start, to me at least.

Hi,
I've closed this thread since discussion will not go any further, it's designed this way cause of timeshift buffer - if something else would be done later i don't know, but such a thing takes place in improvement section on forum & not bug part of forum
