I thought this was a VDR developers mailing list and not a ´how to tell o ther people how they should educate their kids´
I for one think is not helpful at all people posting here things like:
¨The Real Problem is that people are too lazy to educate their brats properly.¨
It does not help and it is getting a bit annoying, I don´t tell you how t o bring up your kids. For me it is a better approach to change something in VDR´s code than to divorce my wife and get a new one who is more competen te with VDR (perhaps I should look for a replacement in this thread?) Of course divorce would end the problem as the kids would live with their mother.
Now seriously, let´s keep unsolicited parenting advice out of this tread.
Now, as for the instant recording, how about it gets deleted when you zap t o another channel?
Geralds idea that by pressing record the instant recording becomes a real o ne is very good...

...or when there is no available tuner to continue the older instant-recording... I think about zapping, when you would like to keep the "previous channel" instant recording.
I would be very pleased if that function was handled by the VDR server (the one with the DVB devices), instead of the VDR client (which gets it's streams via the network). The same applies to cutting (the headless server with the disks should do the cutting, not the diskless client with the IR receiver). But all this is another (big) thread...
If you don't want VDR to "record" when pause is pressed, how do you expect to resume play from the point at which you pressed pause? Obviously it has to "record" the stream somewhere since there is no live tv caching in VDR. Next, you _do_ have the option to delete these pause/instant recordings, you just go into the recording menu and do it. VDR doesn't just assume you'd like to discard it, as it shouldn't.
This is one of those things where people will complain either way. Users who want pause-recordings deleted automatically complain that they're not. Users who want to manage this themselves will complain if they are. Maybe there's some middle ground where the user can choose which behavior he prefers, and takes minimal effort to implement. After talking to some users about this subject, it seems most would actually prefer live tv caching as an option.

I'm talking about what the users sees, not what VDR does behind the scenes.

This exposes an implementation detail to the user. Any computer-illiterate user would not understand this.

This might be what you expect would happen, since you know how VDR works behind the scenes.

Having an option to auto delete live recordings, or asking the user to press record to save said recording, would probably resolve this issue.
