In particular - everything seems to work pretty good for me if I set it on a channel and leave it, and I'm even able to skip around (back, then forwards, pause etc) within the stream, but there is a problem with trying to use PVR functions when I'm viewing a point in the recording which is prior to a show change / half-hour break, but it is temporally after one. That is:
-I'm watching LiveTv, Show X, which runs from 8:30-9:00
-It's 9:05, but at some point I paused for 10 minutes so I'm viewing what was recorded at 8:55
-A commercial comes along (or some other reason for skipping forward), I hit SkipForward (which normally pops ahead about 8 seconds)
-It jumps to 9:05, that is, the current point in the stream
Again, this is only with LiveTv where Myth uses the EPG (or every 30 minutes on the hour/half hour if there's no EPG) to break-up recording files. I haven't confirmed if this happens with all skipping (backwards or forward) done under this condition, but it does happen consistently enough that it seems to be related.
My questios are - Do others see this? Is there a fix available or planned?
On a related note - is anyone aware what the expected behavior is when hitting the record button/key while watching LiveTv?
One thing I have noticed is that if you are watching a show that is recording and is ~15 minutes in; the show seems to end at ~15 minutes (whatever time was left on the recording when you started watching it). It doesn't do this with Mythfrontend, if you are watching a recording show you can watch it until the end uninterrupted.
