How to play a wtv file that is being recorded. Such that it keeps continuing in real-time (just like media player and media center can do)? (not stopping at the EOF from when the file was opened)

Very difficult to do. Please file a bugreport on this.

I certainly will (once I figured out how to file a bug report .

In the meantime I made the following workaround:

Basically I preconfigured a m3u file, like

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,LiveTV
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=0
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=60
C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\RMCLiveTV0_452290313528986_RTL 7_2012_06_20_18_12_48.wtv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=60
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=120
C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\RMCLiveTV0_452290313528986_RTL 7_2012_06_20_18_12_48.wtv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=120
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=180
C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\RMCLiveTV0_452290313528986_RTL 7_2012_06_20_18_12_48.wtv
etc.

and just started to play this m3u after > 1 minute. Worked well with a recent nightly build of vlc.exe. I don't remember if it worked with version 2.0.1 stable as well. (I might have had other reasons to use the nightly build).
However since I am trying to do this all from C# I'd rather use VLC.DotNet (if I may throw this in?), which stops after the first minute. Any known reason for that?
