Hi
At the moment all I can do is pause live tv. Just like the sky box I want to be able to rewind what I have been looking at to up to half an hour. Is this possible?

[Cytrax]

you can install a permanent time-shift plugin - something like


enigma2-plugin-extensions-altshift_0.5_a ll.ipk

[darken9]

Thanks.
That plugin is not available in the list of plugins on the Vu+. When I download it from the web it does not install.
Any ideas?

[darken9]

Sorry my bat, I unchecked the plugin by mistake.
It's installed now but I have no idea what it does. Doesn't seem to create a recording buffer like the sky box though.

If I install this I can not use the ok key anymore to get the infobar!

Have you tested this yourself?

I'd been using Rc9 and it was working fine so I assumed r10 would be ok.

I'll test RC9 again and get back you.

Sic,

This is the same issue I discussed you with you the other day.

OK button doesnt show info bar. (was OK when I removed timeshift plug in.

TV Block as well I found that the app didnt function well.

Pressing rewind did nothing (redlight was on the LCD) also when I zapped I never got a message to save or not even though I had it set to ask when zapping.

Actually I couldnt find anything on this app that worked.

I think its R10 I'm using.

Would have to agree with that, it's a very poor add-on. The instant record menu does not work when this add-on is installed, there is no way of calling it up or utilising instant record unless you disable Permanent Timeshift. This makes this add-on pretty much useless. Also like dfdream said, no message/option to save appears when zapping even though it was set to do so in options. Finally, as far as I can see there is no way of telling what version of PTS you are running.

I've disabled this add-on as instant record is more important to me than permanent timeshift. Huge improvements needed here.

[darken9]

So thats where my info bar went.
I've since reflashed my box and haven't installed perm time shift yet.
You're right, some serious improvement is needed.

I've found this one has been working really well: -
