As posted before I have worked with a friend on developing a custom agent and scanner in order to allow Plex to serve up content from a SageTV backend server.
My question is arround growing files. If I have a file that is in the process of being recorded, do I need to code something special or set a piece of metadata a certain way in order to allow the clients to gracefully play the growing file?
I am not sure if this is the right place for this topic, but being that it is related in sorts to my agent and scanner i thought it would be a good start
The way it has worked in the past is that however much of the video is "recorded" is what plex will report as the max size and duration of the file. When one reaches that point, the file bombs out as if it is over. Being that XBMC is able to handle this gracefully and allow the client to fully play a growing file, I was wondering if there was a similar way to handle it in plex.
*** I completely understand the difference in architecture, and models plex vs xbmc... but wanted to ask anyways.
Thanks in advance.
