Hi VLC developers,
a feature request from a user (me) who records DVB with VDR on Linux and sometimes likes watching while recording via samba from a Windows machine.
You could try reading beyond the filesize (as of open time) and thereby allow continuous playing of data that has been written after the file has been opened.
Currently VLC opens the file and plays it to the point which has already been recorded when it opens it. For stuff that has been recorded in the meantime, you have to repress play and cue to the proper time.
Thanks anyway for the very handy program. One of the top 5 I install on new machines... Peter
