Sorry, i'm not sure to fully understand what new functionality this patch brings. Can you elaborate what you mean by "permanent timeshift" ?
How does it differ from current behavior ?
The patch does following:
- it always records the channel you are watching, when you switch
channel a new recording starts and the old will be deleted
- so you are able to repeat a scene if for example you
didn't understand
something
- or when you are watching a film, and you decide during
the film, that
you want to record it, you can do so, if the beginning is in the livebuffer (new timer -> LiveBuffer: yes)
- you can turn on/off this functionality in menu -> setup ->
recording -> LiveBuffer there you can also set the size for the livebuffer (in MB)
But I want to WARN you: This patch is not yet really stable! (Of course, it would
nice if some
of you test it and report bugs)
Thanks for the great additional patch! Of course
modifications are required to
the patch if you use enAIO and the jumpplay patches. But,
besides vdr, I found
5 common plugins that also required changes when using this
LiveBuffer patch.
I find it very bad if a patch modifies interfaces that require plugins to be specially adapted to that patch. Plugins should _always_ run with plain vanilla VDR and never require a "specially patched" version of VDR!
You are right Klaus. It wasn't my intention to modify any interface that require plugins.
