Doesn't save where I am at in the Timeline

[themediaguy]

I record a few things manually from my HDMI encoder. I have two of them and I have to dummy channels set for an hour. When I get to about half in the timeline or more and hit done it thinks I got through the entire thing and the progress bar goes to the very end and then I loose my spot. The only way around this is I have been going to control center and screenshotting my place in the timeline so that I can remember where I left off. Is there a way around this? I remembered submitting something like this before but can't seem to find it. But I feel like there isn't a fix but I just wish you could turn this off. It also happens to show that get recorded from my HDHomeRun and TVE recordings.

Thanks for the help!

I found the conversation I just wish there was a setting to be able to turn this off. This would take away my frustration to this issue going away.

This is by design and working correctly.

Channels marks it as watched once you’ve watched a certain percent of the show. This doesn’t happen if you stop it mid way.

If it required a full 100% of watching to mark as watched, nothing would get marked as watched.

Recording manually meaning not via a pass or guide data? Via the API or olive-tin?

Just selecting on a “HDMI @ 1 PM” and manually recording that channel. Say for instance I recorded something for 4 hours and only got an hour and half in and when I select done it immediately thinks I have finished through the 4 hours.

So you're adding 3 hours of padding? That's probably why it thinks you're done and marks it as watched.

You could adjust your M3U to make the guide blocks longer.

That makes total since. I never thought about that. Thanks!
