And let me put it into more words with an example how useful this actually is besides just being real nice.Sorr but your issue does not sound to have anything to do at all with what this feature request discussion thread is about. This specific feature request which this forum thread is about have niothing to do with the actual buffering process or any intelligence to tell how much disk space you have left.
Some backends, like DVBviewer, have continues buffer issues that I've report all the way back 2 years ago; https://github.com/manuelm/pvr.dvbviewer/issues/2
So why is this so helpful en what happens?
For my setup to spare the SSD (got a 100% passive htpc) I made a ramdisk and the live buffer is put into the ramdisk (6GB ramdisk, 2GB for os).
At some point the space runs out on the ramdisk but the PVR addon doesn't know about this and stops.
Sometimes I pause for a sec and answer some e-mails or whatever so I can fastforward the commercials... at times with no track of how much is actually in the buffer.
They don't seem to solve this bug so this will be huge once it works! would have it a bit different if I were picky but this is really useful!
Also about the above issue; I know how it can be solved in a nice way (functionality, unfortunately I can't code) but nobody listens to me. If you're in the power of solving it PM me for info or have me try a testbuild!

Please understand that this thread is only about adding GUI elements to skins to inicate to users how much recording had been done when a user pause Live TV, which enables timeshifting, so that that with the GUI indicator know how much they can rewind or fast forward.
A backend should never let Kodi fast forward a Live TV stream so far ahead that it has gone past what is not even recorded yet. If you have an issue with a bug like that in specific backends then you will be better of trying to contact those developers behind the PVR client addon for that backend.

Sounds as if he choosen a different approch, but still with only a single progressbar.

I think some of us wait for this feature since some years now. But if you are not a developer, you have to wait...
I use jarvis and the skin aeon nox silvo. I would really appreciate to see this in Krypton.
