Indeed it works. I did something stupid.
When i converted the json to c# i get the following.

But why do you use an array for the recording and liveTv? On a tuner you only have 1 recording, live stream,...
Or am i wrong?
You can have a card with more tuners, like i have. But everthing is seperated. You can't have multiple items on 1 tuner...

You can have multiple on digital tuners. With digital tv they often transmit up to 8 or channels on a single frequency, and NextPVR is able use them all at the same time. So, you could be doing several recordings and live tv sessions at the same time, on one or more channels, only using the one tuner.

Oh that's something i didn't know.
I also don't have digital yet, only analog.

Then i need some changes in the object on MB side i think.

For the recording you have a nice name. But the liveTV have not that same nice name.

I think I can get a "nice name" for live Tv when I add the other stuff mentioned in my above post.

If the NextPVR server is set to "EPG Based" timeshifting instead of the default "Time Based" (Settings, Misc2 tab), you will get a "nice name" for live tv.

Unfortunately that's only the case for NextPVR itself. Timeshifting with other client types is still time based.

In the next release I will try to provide some more information about what the live tv sessions are doing though.

Ok, I didnt realize you could have simultaneous activity on a single tuner. I think for now since it's only used for display I'll keep it as is and avoid having to change the interface. But the next time there's a change we can definitely slip it in.

I think now the big thing really is optimization and avoiding transcoding whenever possible. The only way to do that is to get media info about the stream you're sending back. I'm just not sure of the best way to do that though.

I wrote about that earlier, you can get the service type for the channel but to get it from the stream first for live tv isn't going to work well at all. In North America for HD most user won't have luck unless they have the HDPVR or the newest HDHR4

My update will go out with the next NEWA release....not sure when that will be.... I still need to update the wiki with the last release that came out with the last release of NPVR.

So what would you suggest?
Is it also possible to fast forward? What i mean, that you can start the recorded "movie,..." in the middle....

I posted my suggestions a few page back. Best suggestion is to get MBT working on clients that it will for. I'd also suggest you guys be a little less fanboy about the non-transcoding possibilities. North America + Roku ia a bad mix.

The NextPVR web server allows range requests. I am not sure how well that works with transcoding and multiple reads by external ffmpeg. You might need an integrated ffmpeg demux.

I don't see any method to send range request. Also i don't see that on recordings...
