You'll need to set XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK=/some/path/ As an aside you might get that info from the plugins help which you can run with 'freevo plugins -l' to list them all then 'freevo plugins -i video.ivtv_xine' (check the syntax of that second one). John After playing around with the environment for a few days, I finally decided to uninstall and reinstall xine...that along with the other configuration changes did the trick. I am now able to watch live TV. Looking through the documentation, I still have not found anything that references the ability to manually start recording the current show. Is this possible? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
