Comment (by ajb@…):

 Hi Mitch,
    Yes I understand your point now. I wouldn't wish to limit the ability
 to seek on an unfinished recording. So I'd like to try switching the
 client to use HLS, in the case that the recording is unfinished. I've
 looked at the 0.28 services API, but the nearest thing I can see seems to
 be GetLiveStream, but I don't understand how that could be used to watch a
 recording?
 How would a call from the client like below be converted to HLS?

 I did read this, [https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming_Server]
 but it was non obvious to me how to modify the SMartTV app to do it.

 Thanks,


 Andrew
