Pre/Post Padding of recordings.

[Ian_AW]

G'day,

I am having problems having my settings of 5 min Pre and 15 min of Post to stick.

I have set things in Settings>PVR & Live TV>Recording, snd the values of 5/15 are remembered.

I have also gone to Home>Add-Ons>IceTV>Advanced 5/15 set there and remembered.

Yet, when a new timer is set via IceTV, it defaults back to 3/30. I am set as Expert.

Does this need to be set anywhere else?

The post and pre padding has to be set in TVHeadend www server. You access via your web browser of choice:
http://{IPAdress of IceBox}:9981/

You the select Configuration > Recording, and change the pre and post padding in the dialogue box, then save using the save "button" in the menu - on far left.

The two setting you tried on the IceBox pick up the amounts of pre and post padding from the TVHeadend setting at this time when the installation wizard runs. They are not changed to reflect subsequent changes mad by the TVHeadend web server.

Thanks.

I would add, this is for now, however the settings will all be synched together at some point.

I made this diagram about a year ago.  It attempts to explain the various places that padding can be added and their related priorities.

Some slight changes are that there is no IceTV DVR profile anymore, we just use the default profile after changing it's profile to matroska.
