I also thought about this problem and I now might have a solution which I'll try tonight. This would add a check if the time left in timer is longer than the margin at stop defined in setup and would start replaying only if this is true. Otherwise it would start a new instant recording as usual. > This, together with the fact that this is probably unexpected by the > user, can lead to disaster: If he's time-shifting later on, he'll be > quite surprised that the recording has stopped minutes ago and the > in-between show is gone.

This is one possible solution and I will consider this also.

This is quite true, but it seems some people like the new feature and I would give it as an option. -- Matti _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
