Offset recording?

[Psymiley]

Just noticed something - cant see why:

 

I had a channel on timeshift and decided I wanted to record the program.

So I rewind back to the program start and hit record.

At the end of the program, I stopped it.

 

But when I checked the recorded file, it was from the time I hit record and not the point I rewound to.

 

Is there a hidden setting to record from the buffer instead of live feed?

No, there isn't. But you can tick DVBViewer -> Keep Timeshift File, and the "buffer" will remain on your hard disk as TS file. TSPlayer allows to extract the desired part.

Guess that's usable. Can you do this on-the-fly? Otherwise I might put a request on the wishlist, 'Dump Timeshift' or 'Keep current timeshift for this channel' as I wouldn't want the timeshift kept all of the time, just when I decide I want to keep the one from the channel i'm watching.

 

It's quite often where I'll watch a show, or turn the TV on and catch the last 5 mins of a program that's been on, then want to catch the whole show.

I know I can rewind via timeshift, but I'd like to just hit 'Dump' (or even better - use the EPG and have 'Save Show') or 'keep timeshift for current channel' (which disables if I change channel)

 

I will play with the settings later, 'hopefully' it can be mappable.
