I'm trying to record shows previously recorded on my Tivo (or from VCR tapes - same issue). I can see the Tivo as an external source channel just fine and I can record by pressing record in live TV. I'm left with two issues:
1) I'd like to use the manual record feature so I can control the length of the recording but, since I can't tell exactly when gbpvr will a) pick up my request to schedule the recording or b) when recording has actually started, I can't tell when to hit "play" on the Tivo (or VCR) to start playback.
2) I can use the record button on live TV and this lets me coordinate when to hit "play" since I can see the output on the cached output. However, a) I can't control the length of the recording - have to watch the output and hit the gbpvr record button again when I want to stop and b) the recording does not show up in the gbpvr on-screen recordings list (maybe because the external source channel does not have a show name?). Instead, the recording shows up in my gbpvr cache directory with a "generated" name so I have to rename and copy the file into the recordings directory.
Am I missing something here? Any ideas? I see a number of threads tangential to my problem but none specifically discussing this particular issue.
