So I am using 108. The Shield Setup -> Apps -> Mythtv Leanback Frontend is version v0-108-gb439561.

I did another test.  I started the 4pm news as a recording using Mythweb on my v31 system with a HDHR tuner. I then went to the Shield around 10 after 4.  When I started viewing it would show current position time with 9:40 as the end time. I used the select button to check it a few more times prior to 9:40. While the timeline shows, I hit return to remove the timeline from the screen. 

When the playing timeline reached 9:40 there was a quick pause and then the recording playback continued.  If I pressed select after this point I’d see the playing timeline with “—“ as the end time as you mentioned. I could also move forward to skip a commercial at which time the end time was updated to the current end time.

However, I watched the news without any buttons being press until it reached that new end time and the screen paused (froze) with the timeline showing. The time was a few seconds past the previous end time.  If I press right or left it will play again.  If I hit select it exits back to the menu for that video. 

I’ll try this is a few minutes with v30 on a Hauppauge WinTV Quad tuner.
