Hm the problem I have is that the server which is doing the actual talking to TV-Server will constantly be running, and so will remain active. I need some way to tell the server that "for this time shift, when the last client disconnects, stop timeshifting".

Yeah, I'm considering doing this as a video python plugin, just to get something working. I've gotten all the server commands working : ListGroups, ListChannels, TimeshiftChannel, StopTimeshift. I'm now going to code the python video plugin to use these plugins. All my testing so far as been through telnet.

I wanted to keep the TVServer stuff separate for now - just because it's easier, but also because I do not want to use MediaPortal on my PC, as I want my PC to be just the server, and XBMC to be my client, and the current plugin uses MediaPortal.
