Saving LiveTV file to Recordings Folder

[mvallevand]

In looking at the mvpmcx2 code I realised I had some code stopping the Record key from being send while video was playing probably because of problems in PCH mode. I commented this odd, and GBPVR gives me an option to record the show in progress. It works nicely and it does show up perfectly in Recording.

Code:

2010-02-10 23:48:38.267    VERBOSE    [6]    RecordingFactory.save()
2010-02-10 23:48:38.354    VERBOSE    [6]    Save(): Inserted new scheduled recording
2010-02-10 23:48:38.356    VERBOSE    [6]    Trying to switch from timeshift to recording. Please wait.
2010-02-10 23:48:38.356    VERBOSE    [6]    RecordingFactory.save()
2010-02-10 23:48:38.553    VERBOSE    [6]    Save(): Updated existing scheduled recording
2010-02-10 23:48:38.555    INFO    [6]    KeepLiveTVFile(C:\temp\The Hour_3_20100210_23050000.mpg)

This is in the wishlist option I would like an option to move this from the Live TV buffer folder to the Recordings folder added to the Recording menu options or if possible have it moved (renamed on the same drive) when the recording stop.

Ok, I'll try add this for the pre-release.

i have a transcode option that can do this in the shortterm for users till fix is in..
it's a video library transcode profile that just moves it to recordings dir and adjusts db..
[basically just a SimpleArchiver profile set to restore file to rec dir]
could be put in postproc and automate by looking for tv path and only adj. those..

but yea, it does seem logical to move it to rec dir to keep them all together..

pBS it does looks like I could modify your batch file to extract the right filedir

Code:

for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims==|" %%v in (`sqlite3.exe  "%db%" "SELECT recording_schedule.oid,programme.name FROM recording_schedule, programme  where filename like '%%%~nx1' and programme.oid=recording_schedule.programme_oid"`) do set oid=%%v & set filedir=%%w

The problem is I do so much testing I hate running postprocessing

as an extension to this (or perhaps it is the same thing, im not sure) - having live tv buffer show as a 'pending' recording would be great as well, as that way it allows a client pc/mvp/pch or whatever to watch the current show on the same tuner (ie for me, would be able to watch the sky channel in two rooms at once without having to be recording the current show)

Perhaps a further tweak...or again the same thing. I would like to be able to pause live TV on one machine (client or server) then move to another room and un-pause live tv on a different machine and continue watching the program from where I left off but in a different room.

Why just live tv though. Could be a cool feature for hd movies, or loaded playlist in ML3 or etc. Would have to be done more like a 'transfer session to nn client' kind thing maybe..

[mvallevand]

Once you save live TV it is treated like any recording so inter-room resume works. As for ML3 the last played playlist should be available from one machine to another.
