[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1101826, member: 109222"] Hi. Due to the dynamic nature of TV it needs a different handling. In TV you will need to schedule recordings, view EPG Data and fiddle with "incomplete" videos (Timeshift or a running recording). Nowhere else this is needed for handling videos. So TV is not a "normal" Media Source, it's special. And for this it needs "special" attention. It's similar to Online Videos which are also not "normal" media and for this also needs a separate plugin. This similarity is the reason why we can add a lot of online video sources to TV Server and thread them like TV channels. But this isn't possible for all online sources, so we're in a need for two separate plugins for this. Imho in MP2 TV is threaded more as average media source as I like... The recorded shows are threaded as normal videos inside MP2. But you are not able to watch an ongoing recording from within the "Recordings" or "Videos" or "Browse Media" view. First the recording needs to finish and after that a reimport of the media source "TV Recordings" is needed. Only then the recorded show is available as normal media. There is a way to watch ongoing recordings from within the EPG, but only if the recording isn't in it's pre or post recording time,... This also is the nature of MP2. Here "everything is a plugin" so why should TV be different here? [/QUOTE]
