time shifting features

[subq]

I have my SS set to always time shift, one thing I seem to miss vs my tivo is slow motion forward and frame by frame.

Are those features in snapstream? If not, are they planned?

you dont need always timeshift to actually timeshift, as long as your recording format is mpeg timeshifting is used, allways timeshift just allows you to jump back to the main menu or the guide and come back where you left off. As of now there is now slowmo feature, only fast forward (at 3 speeds) and skip (normally 30sec for, 7sec back, but is user configurable)

dunno if it has been suggested but it probably has

yeah, it really needs it in time shifting, are you saying playback has slowmo and frame by frame?

also, a very irritating bug is when recording and going back in the time line (i.e. pause or rewind or whatever) when the show ends the recording jumps to the end of the show no matter where in the time line you are watching

no there isnt any slomo just fast forward/rewind and skip forward/back

if you want to wathc a recording in progress you should be able to play it back from the media library without it skipping when the recording finishes (it will be the one with a red dot next to it) but if you join a recording in progress using livetv then when the recording stops the buffer is swapped from the recording back to the timeshift buffer thus causing the skip out. but if you join it using the video library it wont swap buffers at the end of the recording

Ah, that is what is happening then.

Hopefully the next version or the version after that will add those other features to timeshifting.

I don't see how people run without time shifting unless they never watch live tv. That is one of the great things about PVRs is the ability to pause live tv, rewind slow motion through it, etc etc...
