Hello,

So, this is a matter of LiveBuffer patch. But I don't understand why it was working when switching channels.
Anyway, to fix it properly, the following line in cXineDevice::SetPlayMode() most be adapted to LiveBuffer:
m_settings.SelectReplayPrebufferMode(!Transferring());For vanilla VDR, Transferring() reports the existence of a transfer thread which means, VDR sends Live TV to vdr-xine.
So, how could I detect Live TV in the case of a VDR with LiveBuffer patch?
Is there a way to automatically detect that the LiveBuffer patch was applied to VDR?
In config.h LIVEBUFFERVERSION is defined, when livebuffer has been applied: #define LIVEBUFFERVERSION 106
When the livebuffer is active (replaying) cTransferControl::ReceiverDevice() returns the receiving device. So you could use this for detecting Live TV.
But I think it would be better to adapt the livebuffer patch so that cDevice::Transferring() returns also true when a livebuffer recording is played. (Or does something argue against it?)
