Hello, Been following the mythbackend plugin conversation with great interest. I love the idea of moovida picking up pvr-type functionality. There is one fundamental thing however that I feel differently about apparently, and that is the "LiveTV is a recording as any other is..." (quoted from one of Michaels mails, but seems to me this is shared by many) mindset.
I'm a long time "vdr + one of the xine-based players" kind of pvr user. Over the years I've tried probably all the other pvr solutions for linux aswell, but always found I miss one feature in vdr that seemingly no other pvr in linux can match: channel changing speed. As I understand, vdr doesn't by default record the shows in LiveTV use case, but insted streams them to the player. This makes a huge difference when changing channels, and this has always been the deal breaker for me, the channel surfer. :) Now, just wanted to voice in at this point, that channel changing speed is of great importance to some of us old-school tv-watchers. Here's hopig that this can be made a priority, maybe gstreamer is flexible enough that it can stream the stream to the player as soon as possible and only after that start thinking about recording it... just my €0.02 juhis
