Re: Series2Folder plugin

1st "custom" plugin I have installed (IceTV doesn't count as I've got it through plugin manager) and - for my usage pattern at least - it works like a charm.

Hope to upgrade to the prod version and hope the upgrade process won't be very complex.

Thanks a lot.

So when I see a show in EPG I'd like to record as the series I select it and press Auto Timer button. It takes me to the screen with 4 (if I remember correctly) check boxes ...

I hope the update does fox the rewind problem. Interestingly enough I have not encountered rewind problems with recorded shows, but when I watch videos from NAS I can not basically rewind back using any of the buttons - either << or <<| . Is that something that can be looked at? Many thanks

Re: T4 as a video player

Make sure you buy the HDMI splitter. What you are seeing is HDCP DRM in action. Content on the Chromecast is copyright and is "protected", so video is not available. The splitter will fix this limitation, hence my recommendation. Sorry MrQuade, I was not ignoring your suggestion; perhaps ...

Yes, padding works in the normal fashion. It is applied when you create the timer rather than when the timer fires though. The T series treats padding fairly simply in that it just makes the timer longer rather than keeping track of what part of the recording the timer and what is padding. This is ...
