I'm not sure if this is already planned (I suspect it is), but just in case for some reason its not, I would like to make this request.
The PVR player acts differently to the standard player, namely
- left / right changes channel groups, in the standard play this is jump forward/back, I know not all backends support timeshifting, but this should be the same and if it doesnt support timeshifting, do dont anything
I know a few pvr addons are having issues with rewinding in timeshift mode, so makes sense to get left/right to jump instead of rewind (as I suspect most people would use that instead)
Also the way to change channel groups during live tv is odd. The best app i've seen that handles this is MediaPortal.
Basically in MP, you push a button (in MP its "enter", in xbmc it would have to be something else) which brings up a channel list (similar to the current xbmc channel list), and to change groups in that channel list you push left/right, this doesnt change the channel until you select a channel from one listed, the list just updates when you change group. This is a really nice and quick way of changing channels.
TIA
