saitoh183 137 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Im having trouble with getting pre/post padding to be set properly because i am unable to figure out which settings is used when recording starts. Is it the one from ServerWMC, MBS or XBMC liveTV settings? In MBS it seems you cant set padding to 0, in Serverwmc, you can tell it to force or use XBMC and in XBMC you can set it in the settings for all shows(didnt find a per-show option). I setup my recordings via MBS all the time
krustyreturns 191 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Yeah, we do need do make this clearer... When you use MBS to set a recording, swmc uses the padding values from MBS. The other padding settings that are possible in swmc are only used when xbmc is the client.

krustyreturns 191 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Yes. Recordings started in MBS-client, xbmc or wmc are all visible and the recording has whatever padding the client who started it assigned for it (i.e. the padding is stored with the recording request).

I had a show i set just the current recording to 5min pre-padding and when i checked the show after recording, the recording starts in the middle of the first scene of the show.
krustyreturns 191 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 That tab says where the padding default values come. MBS either gets its defaults from wmc or swmc depending on the setting in this tab, if you set it to xbmc (like you have) it will use wmc's padding defaults. Sorry this hasn't been explained anywhere until now, I never thought an mbs user would choose xbmc padding defaults. Btw, thanks for the reminder, I need to change the gui to say kodi... If a show started late, you should look in wmc, see 'recorded tv'>'view scheduled'>history to find out why that happened. There should be an error message and a reason why it started late. If it said it recorded correctly, then the other possibility is that the show started shifted in time and the guide didn't reflect it.

Since i use XBMB3C i never thought of changing the setting back to WMC (used to only use xbmc with swmc before MBS came along) So having set it to use XBMC i assume that would be my problem since in XBMC this is how its set by default. (regardless of what i set from MBS)
krustyreturns 191 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I am saying that if you have the default padding source set to xbmc - since this setting doesn't make sense for an MBS client - MBS will take these settings from wmc. So, as long as the wmc padding is set to what you want, it should have been working.
