You are right, the record start at the begining at the show, not at the
moment you press the record key. But I must admit that this is good for
me : Most time, if I depress the record key, it's allready too late !
In fact, xine has 3 modes for live recording:
1. save all since the stream started
2. save all from "now on"
3. save all since a specific mark, up to a next mark. The mark has to be set
by the user.
I implemented the third method. Every time you change channels (up/down or by
number), a new 'start mark' is set in the stream. This mark will also be set
automatically when, according to the EPG, a new program/show starts on the
current channel. When you press 'record', xine will save everything since the
last mark up to the next 'start mark'.
Thus, freevo saves the part of the stream since you started watching TV,
since you chose another channel or since the start of the current
program/show; whatever happend most recently. The recording is ended when you
change channels, when the show stops according to the EPG, or when you quit
watching TV.
I hope this is clear. I plan to implement the other two methods too. Patches
for xine_ui are ready, I plan to present a menubox in xine to ask the user to
choose between the three modes, but the xine_ui developer seems kind of busy
the 6 months. I also have some more patches that are pending (improved OSD
with fontsizes and color).
Make sure to let us all know when they're in. For now have you got them
online somewhere? Quick suggestion too, you're already pulling the tv
guide info and displaying it on channel change. How about modifying the
DISPLAY command to show a list of the current programs from all channels
instead of just the currently watched one.
