[mythtv-users] ability to do "quick" manual recording ?

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way to setup manual recordings without going
into the scheduler setup.

For example, some VCRs will allow you to do one-touch recording, and then if
you press record again, it will allow you to incrementally setup the
recording for 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, and so on... so specify the length of
recording time very easily.

It would be really really nice to have a feature like that in mythtv... like
pressing "R" multiple times... is this possible? Maybe a feature request?

The manual recording is quite nice for future recordings... but if I want to
record live tv for say 2 hours, starting now, it's quite cumbersome to have
to go out of live tv, then go into the scheduler and so on.

Is there any way I can achieve this?
