[Release] DVBViewer Recording Service PVR
Hello,

about two months ago I added basic timeshift support and sent A600 a git pull request. He replied he'll review as soon as possible, but nothing happend. A few days ago I decided to continue working on the plugin and more important rebase my work on current xbmc-pvr-addons aswell as to release unofficial plugin updates. My plan is to get my work into upstream repository so everyone will benefit of my improvements.

Please test my version. In case of channel list errors (i.e. channel missing), try the "Safe) (re-)Installation" method below.
If everything is well, I'll try to push my changes in the next week.

New features
  • Timeshift, enable in addon settings
  • Channel names from favourites will override the origin channel name. Allows to easily rename channel names (edit your favourites.xml in DVB Viewer directory)

Known Bugs / Limitations
  • As of now there's no timeshift ringbuffer. So if you watch a channel for a long time you might run out of disk space (depends on your free space). Switching channel will truncate the buffer.

(re-)Installation
  • Disable (+uninstall if possible) the addon
  • Reset the PVR database (Settings -> LiveTV -> General)
  • Download new version, safe file with a unique name (e.g. pvr.dvbviewer-CURRENT_DATE.zip) to prevent caching
  • Install + enable addon

Changelog
Quote:1.9.28 (helix) / 1.10.28 (nightly)
[added] RecordingReader: Allows playback of ongoing recordings
There are still some minor quirks. e.g. In case we reach the end during
playback/seek we'll sleep until the next refresh. This should happen
once but sometimes this happens twice.
[added] Support for putting outline before plot
[fixed] Removed custom notification if backend is unavailable
[fixed] A new timer has been removed and re-added again shortly after it has
been added the first time
