I LOVE MythTV and like to play the broadcast with 1.5 speed. Togtether with pausing, rewinding and automatical skipping of comercials this is increasing my TV experiance a lot, while I can watch the broadcast in half an hour that normaly would take one hour.
However I have a problem, when I like to watch a broadcast that is still broadcasting with this increased speed.
I would like to start watching a little later and see the start in increased speed till I'm "live" and than continuing with the normal speed, till I'm pausing or rewinding and than watch again with increased speed till I'm again "live".
Unfortunatly MythTV is doing it a little bit different. When I'm live it is still tryint to play the broadcast with incread speed. To make this, it is stoping to play till enought video is aviable and than plays it with increased speed.
E.g. if I have the speed 1.5, it will wait till 1.5 seconds there, than will play this 1.5 seconds in 1 second, pause and wait 0.5 seconds than play the video in 1.5 seconds and than wait again.
This is going on my nerves and the only solution is to reduce the speed to 1.0. But when I'm than pausing and rewinding, I'm not "live" anymore. Of course I can than increase the speed again, but first of all I'm forgetting this and secondly it will again studdering once I hit "live".
Is there a solution that MythTV will automatical reduce the speed to 1.0 if it is "live" and automatical increase the speed again to the amount I have set it, if it isn't "live" anymore?
I know one solution would be to wait till the broadcast it finished and than watch it. This way I could watch it all at increased speed with pausing and rewinding, BUT the things is that I want to watch is the soccer EM and my neighbors are so loud that I can't miss it, if there is a goal. So when I'm not live, I'll already know the score and therefore spoiling everything.
