Maybe I'm missing something here? Xine already has timeshifting and works well with Freevo. Why do you want mplayer instead of xine? Timeshifting works smoothly on my epia (1 GHz) machine (with a pvr-250).

Therefore a suggested way to implement it:
-from the programguide:
-pressing record -> records the selected program
-pressing OK -> start TVtime (or mplayer) as life TV player
-Pressing play -> select right channel and start timeshifting
implementing functions:
I don't think there should be any distinction between timeshifting and
no time shifting. After all, practically the point of time shifting is
being able to use it when you didn't expect you'd want to.
I'am sorry Jason, but there are 2 reasons why there should be a difference ( to my opinion)
-When timeshifting, zapping a channel takes to long (the buffer must be filled), everyone wants his freevo box as flexibel as a TV, mostly you don't need timeshifting, when it is needed, just pres "play" et voila: if installed: a little delay and the show is timeshifted! I don't know about you, but a lot of people zap often all channels (I certainly do). and as stated before, the "play button" would make sence to start timeshifting, within freevo it is to my knowledge no problem to capture the button or key.
-Timeshifting needs a patch to mplayer either way you do it -a lot of people (freevo users) can't patch their mplayer -Timeshifting needs a faster system, with a bigger harddisk, not all freevo users have such a system
Timeshifting remains still a "nice to have" feature but must shoud not interfere with the mainstream usage of freevo.
