I don't know what type of problems you could run into, but I just wanted to encourage you, this would be a really nice feature. The only thing I would add, would be an option to save the show you're currently watching. When you choose it, it looks up the guide information for your current channel and just saves the ring buffer starting at the time of the current show. Also, if you exit, live-TV maybe it could even keep recording the show as if it had been scheduled to record normally. I know this probably would just give you more problems, but it would solve the ring buffer loop problem if you didn't save the whole thing. -> Fritz _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
