Offline PVRX2

It would be wonderful to be able to watch recorded shows "offline" on my laptop.

Maybe have a utility that could download selected recordings & com skip files off of the server through a folder share, and copy the data from the servers database for the show info.

PVRX2 would then when off the network with the server be able to have instead of the Guide, and Live tv related options PVRX2 would have an "Offline Recordings" area. That would function similarly to the "standard" recordings area, albiet with only the option to watch the offline recordings.

Could you do this now using the web interface to download the recordings that you want into the videos folder of your client, I am not sure how much of the database information it would copy over though

If sub adds functionality that allows a client to startup without a connection to the server, a relatively simple plugin would be able to do what you ask.

Otherwise, downloading through the web admin is the only option.

I guess you could set up some kind of rsync. You wouldn't get the option to select the recordings you wanted but you could have any new recording copied over to the laptop...

Haven't tried this, but it came on my mind that you could use offline folders functionality which is integrated in windows already. Just click on server recordings share and tick it as to use folder offline. but beware, your laptop must have amount of free space as server recordings directory holds!
