Timeshifting problems with OpenPLi 3.0
Meega 11 May 2013
Ok I uninstalled PTS and trying this new method.
Imagine this scenario:-
I'm watching the news but missed something the guy said. so I rewind 15 seconds, so far so good, I hear what the guy said and now I want to go back to live so I press stop,
this stops the timeshift permanently and no longer records again until changing away from the channel and back again unlike PTS which will carry on recording after pressing stop.
The other way to get back to live is to FF until it catches up.
Both of these seems very clumsy or have I missed something ?
In fact, if you press the stop button alone it deletes the shift.

As I can't edit the post what I'm trying to say is:-
When rewinding and watching the recorded timeshift pressing stop should just stop playing the timeshift recording and not the actual recording of timeshift.

So a basic version of pts which should be sufficient for many people.
And no the disk full problem is not solved. But for me it's not a big problem (my hdd isn't full yet). If you use a USB stick it might be a bigger problem. But then you can use pts plugin.
And if someone has a really good, simple, easy to implement idea how to solve this problem without any gap (stop and then start leads on a gap) please call me.

I know ,i just want to back you up because i don't like this either
And i meant that when you are not watching timeshift and you press the stopbutton the shift will be deleted also.

Yes, you're right. I normally don't use stop button. I seek with the number keys. That's why I didn't change the stop button functionality.When rewinding and watching the recorded timeshift pressing stop should just stop playing the timeshift recording and not the actual recording of timeshift.
(In your scenario I wouldn't jump back to live point because then I would miss some seconds....)
Nevertheless that could be fixed easily.

I do use a USB stick so I guess it's back to PTS for me, I do see this as a problem even for ppl who use HDD for timeshift and don't fully understand the implications.

.
Ah but the adverts are showing so don't care if I miss a few seconds
Thanks for your efforts anyway, I do like some aspects of this method but it won't suit my needs.
So Littlesat this why we still need PTS plugin

Very simple, press rewind key.Any way to rewind live tv as in pts (not once pause is pressed)
Cheers

Not very simple! Don't work for me, just to be clear I mean rewinding when watching live tv and not while timeshifting is in progress.Very simple, press rewind key.Any way to rewind live tv as in pts (not once pause is pressed)

What receiver do you have? Do you have MultiQuickButton plugin installed?

Stop is currently assigned as stop timeshift recording... You need to press pause or with stop we need somehow to re-enable the warning.
I think that the only way to stop/delete the timeshift should be zapping.
Besides that "stop" should stop the shift and go to live but not delete.
Timeshift is not only for skipping adds.
When you are doing that and accidentally press the stop button ,you will lose everything.
It's also for watching something back.
For instance in slow motion ,just to see if something is possible or ...how they do it.
About "disk full" i don't know,there should be something like "max hours" on a max disk capacity or reserved space on the disk
Thats how pts does it.
I use an usb stick and when it is full pts gives a warning although i never reach that point.
When the stick is not present it also gives a warning.

A overlapping mechanism would be good or a stop/start without gap(that would also be good for pts plugin).
I'll put it on my todo list. And the stop button thing, too.

Yes, I meant it in the same way.
