Ok, do the following.
plugin.activate('audio.mplayervis')
you will also need to install pygoom (http://freevo.sf.net/pygoom/)

This makes for pretty large files, but hard disk space is cheap these days, and i dont keep most of the recordings for a long period of time. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Both systems watch live tv, and record tv just fine, with full smooth motion, and excellent signal quality. I wouldnt know there performance in windows though, as i dont have it.

Apparently xine's timeshifting code is certain input plugins, and not a seperate lib as such. Id check here, or the IRC channel from time to time for updates, as im keen to get this working too. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
