[Question] Does TVHeadEnd Plugin support timeshift / A.K.A Catch-UP ?

[CyberPoison 33]

Hello guys i'm wondering if the TVHeadEnd Plugin supports Timeshift a.k.a catch up ? 

Kind regards.

HI, this is something that needs to be implemented in the core server rather than an individual live tv plugin.

And does it?

If you're asking can you seek live streams, yes.

It’s more along the lines of this:

if a show (2 hours long) started can we restart from the beginning if we already missed an hour. Without the need to record, which is the probably preferred method. 
 

Or we can view EPG history and certain channels would have a special marking for catch-up that allows us to rewatch the shows on it.

How would the backend know what you were going to watch?  That would mean it would have to record every channel into a buffer for an hour.
