Recording TV - watching from the Recordings

[jwebber]

Hi,

I've recently moved from WMC to NextPVR with Kodi frontend - so hope I'm posting in the right place here. I'm recording programs and watching them on a delay of around 10 minutes by using the Recordings menu (rather than the guide). The recordings timeshift don't seem to grow though, and after 10 minutes the program ends and I have to go into recordings again, open it up and now the program has 20 minutes worth of play time. Again, at the end of 20 minutes it ends and I have to go in again and play it.

Is there any way, like WMC that the end time can grow while you're watching the recording (as the ts file is growing in the background)?

I've done a search and can only find this thread from 2011 which sounds a little similar: https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...=recording

Do others have this problem?

Thanks for any help!

Sounds like that may be a Kodi thing. It doesn't happen here but I only use a pure NextPVR environment; server and clients.

That is a Kodi http limitation. You.can configure the Kodi x-newa add-on to play in progress recordings from a share.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for this. I'm guessing x-newa is a third party addon with its own interace and doesn't integrate with the NextPVR kodi plugin I'm using at the moment (e.g. the Titan skin)? I quite like my current setup with the Kodi NextPVR client but this is the only annoyance.

Thanks!

x-newa has it's own interface, but most users use the web client interface which is the NextPVR GUI running on Kodi.

Thanks for the information! I'll check it out and see whether it fits what I need.

Many thanks,

James
