Catchup TV.

[mvallevand]

Not all device support it but my new cable box give me the option to restart or catchup an in-progress program from the beginning for many programs.  For the tuning string it is a simple matter of

Code:

irsend send_once RNG-150 KEY_5 KEY_0 KEY_1 KEY_OK
vs
irsend send_once RNG-150 KEY_5 KEY_0 KEY_1 KEY_PLAY

Would it be possible to provide a new recording type when recording an in-progress show?

I believe some IPTV providers offer this service too.  This is actually well documented by phunkyfish here https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.iptvsimp...le#catchup

So I played around a bit and wrote a program that I will run in ParallelProcessing to give me what I want with some caveats. Basically if I start recording a show that is in progress the program will call a script to send catchup TV remote keys which resets the recording as catchup and the recording duration changes to match recording the entire show. Here is a video that shows that https://imgur.com/a/l5avEZt

The only minor issue with NextPVR is the What's New times doesn't update but the Recording list times do.

One of the caveats is if the shows isn't available for catchup TV, there is a long OSD recorded so it is best to check. If NextPVR has shows scheduled on that channel it can mess up scheduling but I don't do that much recording. I might set a resume point for the time I started in case I want to just watch from where I was.

Would love to test this on my NextPVR on win10.

I doubt you want this. It is not IPTV catchup
