Description Shaun Crampton 2008-09-28 14:12:37 UTC
Version:           0.8.6-0ubuntu8.1.1 (using KDE 4.0.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If I time-shift DVB in Kaffeine it slowly "catches up" to the end of the time shift. When it reaches the present time it loops back to the start of the time shift. For example: if I only time shift by 5 seconds then after 30s Kaffeine will loop back to the point when I started time-shifting.

I'd expect Kaffeine to continue time-shifting, always staying 5s behind real-time.  At worst, I'd expect it to catch up and then keep playing from the current time.  It should never loop.

This also happens to me on Arch Linux, kaffeine package version 1.2.2-4.

There were some changes at the timeshift logic on Kaffeine 2.0.1. Please check if the bug was fixed there.
