In progress recordings in xnewa

[stustunz]

Are in progress recording played back with x-newa web client on rpi meant to work now ?

I know its a strange question but some recordings seem to keep going if i start while still recording yet others stop
just curious to know whats going on

It is Kodi that controls the playback not x-newa. Over http Kodi doesn't support growing files and that is the default. If you have things configured to play files from a share they can play to the end (in my experience), if you don't get to close to the tail of the buffer. If the readahead buffer is ever empty that triggers a stop and you will need to resume. I have no experience with the buffering in the RPi but that would be something useful to test on Fred's client.

Ok it just seems different since I updated the server the other day in that I seem to be able to watch in progress recordings as long as it's been recording for a while before I start, never use to be able to do that.

Now I have the full look of nextpvr.exe with comskip x-newa is pretty much perfect
Only thing that would be icing ontop would be tvguide overlay but pretty sure thats not possible.l

The TV guide osd comes up with F1 I can't remember if I added it to the context menu or not.

Really!!no way
May have to re program remote thought I had tried all my keys
Just keeps getting better

[stustunz]

Ok cool F1 works
Problem is remote doesn't do f1
Can I edit the key somewhere?

[mvallevand]

It should work with the MCE guide key too assuming you have Kodi configured (I don't support remote configuration). If you want to enable the context menu in live tv and recordings edit emulate.py around line 365 and comment out the stop and change the return as follows.

Code:

elif actionID == ACTION_CONTEXT_MENU:
                    #xbmc.Player().stop()
                    retval = False

I had a look that's over my head :-)
Will try changing via advanced settings

bugger!!! cant send Function keys it seems

[mvallevand]

Can you send Ctrl-G that works as the MCE Guide mapping?
