Resume not available when watching ongoing recording near the end.

[Handy.Man]

Symptoms on client:
In TV Guide, I watch an ongoing recording from start (it started about 15min before), stop watching, back in TV Guide, select the same program I get a Resume button.

However, if I skip to the end of the program while it is recording, 2-3 sec (from real time), stop watching, then when I select the program I do not get the Resume button.

I did read somewhere that NextPVR use a different path when watching live TV then when watching a recording. Is this possible that it use a different path when watching an ongoing recording near the end and then it does not update Playback position at some point?.

In the log, I watch TVA Nouvelles from start, exit, Resume available
Resume watching, skip to middle of the recording, exit, Resume available.
Resume watching, skip to the end of the recording, exit, Resume not available.
Exit NextPVR.

nextpvr purposely doesn't save a resume point if you've watched the entire recording. unfortunately it doesn't distinguish between a completed recording where you watched to the actual end, vs. an in-progress progress where you've watched to the current end.

Well that explain the behaviour
Thanks again.

I've added this to my list of things for sub to look at for the next release, since this failing has annoyed me more than once. this doesn't mean anything will change, merely that I've called his attention to it.

One workaround might be to hit pause (Ctl-Q) for a few seconds before stop.

I don't think it would help; it counts anything fairly close as being the end. you'd have to back off a good minute or more from the end to get it to store a resume point.

Ctrl-Left Arrow = 30 seconds seems to do it

What I do in x-newa is set the duration to the estimated duration for in-progress recording. Kodi doesn't like in-progress recordings via http so I found it a mandatory change.

This is fixed for the next release.
