But again, the question is, how much of the timeshifting is really handled by XBMC? The backend is what implements the live buffer. It dumps a transport stream to disk and allows seek functions on it as if it were a normal video file. All XBMC really needs to do is send the commands Pause/FF/Rew to the backend. Last night, I updated to the latest version of TVHeadend. I was in the web interface and I hit "Play" by one of the channels. It opened the video stream in VLC. I paused it.... waited. Hit play, it played.... I hit rewind, it rewound. I'm just curious as to what XBMC needs to do that is so much different.

I'm seriously not trying to sound like a troll here. I stress that I'm sure there's something I'm missing, I would just like to know what it is.

I needs something that doesn't just work in tvheadend and works on about 5 different back ends across 3 different OS's
