Justus Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hey, I have a quick question before I set up Live TV. Is it possible to record something at 20:15 for example and start watching it at 20:45 while the recording is still running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamES Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The only limitation will be that you may not be able to seek forward/back (which will be client dependent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayars Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 That should still work on any client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Seeking while recording doesn't work on Samsung or LG clients (they are DirectPlaying). I expect a client the streams with HLS while recording will support it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a client the streams with HLS while recording will support it though If they are like the other Android clients this is a setting you adjust to allow direct playing of TS files. Have you turned this off in settings? Disabled and you can then pause, rw, ff but it comes at a bit slower channel tune/startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just look on my Samsung phone, and cannot find the setting. Is this only an option when you are playing a file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevesb99 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I concur. Edited April 19, 2021 by stevesb99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayars Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Sorry I think I missed something earlier as @SamES is of course correct as this wasn't android mobile or ATV being discussed. LG & Samsung TV is different as he pointed out. Sorry for any misinformation or confusion on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
