Creating thumbnails for a show as it is being recorded would be awesome. I came from Youtube TV and loved that I could see thumbnails as I fast forwarded through a game that was is progress. Makes it so much easier to find the end of a commercial.
YES! This. Please.
I’m just working on cutting the cord, so I’m new to Plex. This is probably the most frustrating of Plex’s current “personality quirks” since it makes time-shifting live TV very frustrating. Discovering that I have to wait until the recording is complete for thumbnails to generate is a genuine source of “culture shock” for me, coming from satellite and cable company DVRs that do this and have done it since the beginning.
Could you please add the ability to tap to skip whilst playing video, rather than having to pause it first, and for a thumbnail to appear so that skipping commercials is easier
I agree. Playback of a show currently being recorded (time shifting) is very buggy on Apple TV. Sometimes play/pause doesn’t work and other times clicking the touchpad doesn’t respond.
Also, I have the option to create thumbnails enabled in server settings but I have never seen anything but a black rectangle when scrubbing through a show (already recorded, or time shifting).
