Global Recording Options vs. Pass Recording Options

[jator]

Hey Devs,

Not sure if you all are aware, but when I set global recording options (buffer time), I get seconds intervals and then 1, 3, etc) minute options to consider.

However, when I go into the pass itself to modify, I am able to select more granular time slots (1, 2, 3, etc minutes). Use of ADBtuner and some Fast Recordings through other sources sometimes the timing with 1 minute isn't long enough but 3 minutes if overkill. I'd like to be able to use the 2 minute buffer globally and not have to go into each pass to update.

Not a show stopper, but if you have any plans to make enhancements in a future release the are indirectly tied to this, would be great if you could line up the global and per pass options to be the same.

Thanks

If you mean padding (not buffer) you can select custom seconds in a pass.

And you can also change your default padding (what you call global) using a curl command

Missing more default padding options

While you're waiting for that to be implemented... This will make the default end padding 2 minutes (120 seconds) Replace 127.0.0.1:8089 with the IP address and port of your Channels DVR server curl -XPATCH http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr --data-binary '{"PaddingEnd":"120"}' To change the default start padding to 2 minutes, use this curl -XPATCH http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr --data-binary '{"PaddingStart":"120"}' [Screenshot 2024-06-12 at 19-30-02 Channels Settings]

Thanks @chDVRuser. Yes, I was refering to the global having the ability to have the 2 minute increment as it doesn't offer the 2 minute in the global:

But does in the individual pass settings:

Happy to give the curl solution a go.

Adding it with curl will give you that new value in global settings

Would be nice if you could select custom everywhere it's used.
