Personally, have been eagerly awaiting a build from margro: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1358120

I took a quick look at that. As far as I understand fernetmentas pr, the time will only be reduced iff the pvr/tv backend will keep the transport stream open during channel switching. So this will not be possible with the current dvbviewer pvr / recording service but maybe we can work with the dvbviewer team to make that happen (or wrap that using a local file).

I pushed the modified source with the DVBViewer Recording Service webinterface 1.25.0.0 now to github:

Is Timeshift supposed to be working with the above release?

No(t yet). Portisch started improving the plugin in parallel to me. He focused on performance improvements, I added timeshift support. But there was no consultation in general. To get timeshift you have to use my version for now. But I'll start merging Portisch changes in the next days. So everyone will get the best of both.

Dear Manul,

Are you developing it in github?

Sure. Just follow my signature to my initial post. or more simple:
https://github.com/manuelm/xbmc-pvr-addons

Is there any way to disable the "Can't connect to the Recording Service" popup? I often run xbmc without DVBViewer running.

Just a question to both developers here.

Are you working on a version that supports margos channel zapping fix (ffmpeg)?

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=150887&page=4

I´m currently using it - and in combination with the pvr adjustments in the advancedsettings.xml my zapping times improved, but I guess they would become slightly better if we
can make use of all the changes portisch applied for dvbviewer recording service 1.25 - and not to forget manu's timeshift

Cheers,

I installed it a few minutes again and what should I say... my already good switching times are now even better.
What do you mean by "pvr adjustments in the advancedsettings.xml" ??

Maybe I can tune just a bit more

Well,

I have added these lines to my advancedsettings.xml

<pvr>
<minvideocachelevel>1</minvideocachelevel>
<minaudiocachelevel>1</minaudiocachelevel>
</pvr>

Recommendation is to use 10 to 20 - but as I don´t have any buffer problems I reduced it to 1. Not sure if it will work for other - I have the feeling it even improved my channel switching times.

Cheers,

For me there is sadly no improvement
