The main disadvantage of the record live feature is that when you change channel any recording currently happening in the live buffer will get cancelled :-(.

Odd I do use this feature as I have vlc installed on my system but don't use it as it has problems selecting the correct XV port and I get weird colours when watching TV. If you fancy trying to work out the problem the code that selects the player is in tv/plugins/livepause/players.py in the function get_player(), some well placed print statements should help you figure out why the config variable isn't being used. > > > I am having problem with my wireless connection at the moment, its not > comming up as it should and comes up well after freevo has started.

Ahh, that would explain it, I expect I didn't bind the socket to a specific address. I'll add a variable in the the new version to do that, defaulting to localhost. The new version also adds the ability for the buffer to be on a different host so that you can have a total diskless unit connecting to a backend with the disks and tuners. > > > How does this new version affect the old version.
