Bug #1548
Switching channels while on pause
0%
Description
If I pause channel, then switch to different one, the new channel is still on pause.
If timeshift is continuos, then new folder is created an buffer files are written for new channel, and I can un-pause it;
If timeshift is on-demand, new folder is not created and no buffer is written for new channel (but new channel is on pause and I can resume it) - this is weird.
I expect that either after channel change, new channel is not paused but live; or, for on-demand mode, timeshift buffering starts for new channel immediately if it's on pause.
Not sure though, is it a tvheadend/pvr.hts/xbmc issue?

This is a bug in XBMC, timeshift commands operate on each subscription independently and all subscriptions start in live mode (as this is normal practice). If a client is creating a new subscription (due to channel change) and wishes to maintain the pause state it must signal this.
A normally STB (and I think this also makes sense for XBMCs single feed model) would normally unpause on channel change and I had noticed XBMC does do this but hadn't taken it up with Lars yet.
