[Plugin] VTi Timeshift Helper

[WaRp]

The VTi Timeshift Helper mini-plugin extends VTi behavior when timeshift recording occurs.

When the action "Convert timeshift to recording" is started by the REC button, VTi normally stops the permanent timeshift and starts it again only when a channel change occurs.
As a result, repeated timeshift operations are not possible for the current channel.
The VTi Timeshift Helper plugin removes this limitation by automatically restarting the permanent timeshift. This can be done either immediately when the timeshift recording is started, or only when a recording is stopped (by pressing the Stop button).
It is also possible to add "Stop Timeshift" and "Start Timeshift" options to the recording dialog that appears when the REC key is pressed.
This also allows the inclined VTi user to access timeshift manually.

Timeshift Helper is (as the name says) designed for VTi only and closed source.

Thanks Oberhesse

v.1.0-Experimental (as of 03.07.2023):

New is the 3rd option (see screenshot).

If a program is time-shifted and a timeshift recording is created, VTi jumps back to the live picture.
The VTi Timeshift Helper now allows to open the timeshift recording in the movie player (or EMC player) and go directly to the position where the show was last watched.
This way you can comfortably continue watching the program.
Important: When the movie player is loaded, this means that the channel list is exited. Accordingly, Timeshift is at rest as long as the Movieplayer is active.
