Re: [vdr] Livebuffer for VDR 2.0

2013-07-13 Thread Eike
Hallo!

 Tv was turned on, and the channel that was running on had an interesting
 program running. The program was rewinded from the buffer to the
 beginning, and we started to watch it. Normally i pause recordings with
 the up/down keys, but in this case hitting up/down just changed the
 channel, and the buffer was lost (or not exactly, because the file
 existed on the HDD.. Here i had to manually dig out the file to be able
 to watch the program). So my point is to have an option to warn about a
 chanel-switch when you are actually watching from the buffer. If you
 don't watch fromthe buffer, then the channels should be switchable as
 normal.

I think that's how it already should work at the moment.
As long as you're watching live TV, you can just switch as normal.
As soon as you rewinded, you are in replay mode (just like if you
started watching from your list of recordings) and up and down
should not change the channel(*).
Did you change the key settings for replay mode?

That by the way is a little concern I've got with enabling the
rewind button from live TV. You would change from live watching
mode to replay mode, possibly without noticing it.

* Being able to rewind just by hitting the back/rewind button without
  
  pressing Ok or something else first.
  
  +1 IF the live buffer feature is turned on. If it's off, these keys
  should retain their current behavior.
 
 YEs, of course :-)

If there's no live buffer, there wouldn't be anything to rewind into anyway... 
:o)

Ciao,
Eike

(*) and when switching, the redording is kept if the appropriate VDR setting 
for instant recordings is set.

 Hi all!
 
 Any progress with this feature? Is there any checklist available for
 this? I would have some whishes that i think are pretty practical.
 Maybe someone has more ideas that i have forgot..
 
  * Option to choose between RAM / HDD

I don't think that's actually necessary. Make the file-based lifebuffer
feature rock-solid; if users want to have the buffer in RAM, make them mount a
tmpfs for that purpose. Should lead to simpler code and, in turn, less bugs :)

  * Option to pick the amount of memory / HDD to use
  * Option to warn if you switch channel and you are watching the
 buffer (eg. You are watching from the buffer. Changing channel will
 delete the current buffer)
  * Being able to rewind just by hitting the back/rewind button
 without pressing Ok or something else first.
  * When watching the livebuffer, and you notice that you want to
 save the curent progarm, you should be able to save the tv-program
 from either the beginning of the buffer, or then if the buffer is
 longer, from the beginning of where the program started. This way
 you will be able to save the whole progra (movie etc.)
  * Option to keep X amounts of HDD-buffers after changing channels.
 Then in the recording meny would be an entry where you could watch
 these buffers, and possibly save them as a recording afterwards.

All these would be very nice to have indeed.

Re: [vdr] Livebuffer for VDR 2.0

2013-03-25 Thread fnu
 I tested a 1.7.x version some long time ago, but that  did not
 work as well as the original version..

There has never ever been any official Livebuffer feature in any VDR
version.

I hope it'll take a long time to make it into VDR, e.g. as long as it took
to get any file-/recordings-management feature or other really useful stuff
into VDR ... ^^

Kind regards

Hello!

 Now that VDR 2.0 is just around the corner i would like to check if 
 there is any progress to the great livebuffer that was back in the 1.6

 days? I tested a 1.7.x version some long time ago, but that  did not 
 work as well as the original version..

I never tested Ye Good Olde livebuffer, but I can offer this one:

http://ein-eike.de/vdr-plugin-permashift/

It's a plugin with a minimal VDR patch automatically recording live TV
to disc. 
From what I've read, it is less sophisticated and it crashes less than
livebuffer.

Klaus said that he thinks about internal livebuffer functionality in VDR
after 2.0.

Ciao,
  Eike

There have been discussions here about the best way to add it to VDR.
As long as it can be turned off and/or sent to ram instead of
harddisk, I think it would be a great feature to add. While I couldn't
care less about livebuffer personally, it does seem to be a popular
wish-list item. I'd even say up there with solid native client/server
support.
