Time Delay/Shift Channels

#1

Post by heimdm » Wed Jun 24, 2020 5:11 pm

I have channels that are being fed from TV Anywhere. However, some of the channels are always about 2-3 minutes behind. Is there a way to time shift the guide data? My over the air (OTA) channels work with the published time stamps.

While it should be possible to add an option to EPG123 to time shift the guide data for certain channels, I am not sure that is something that Gary would consider.

However, you can use end padding to make sure you don't miss the ending of your programs (if they begin/start late), use the "10 minute after" setting.
If your shows are staring/ending early, then there is also a global padding option for the beginning of all recordings, however, this padding is "soft" and may not work if there are other shows scheduled to record that overlap the padding.

This is not something I intend to support. My suggestion would be the same as Space's to pad the stop times to cover your "late" starts.
