They will be automatically deleted after a short time,
whatever MythTV <br>
does, I think a day or two, I am not sure of the rules for
Live TV.<br>
<br>
You can delete them. When in the LiveTV group you can also
select a row <br>
press menu and delete the whole row.<br>

I seldom use LiveTV, so adding it to leanfront was a case of
doing the <br>
minimum to make it work. It cannot work the same as
mythfrontend, where <br>
mythfrontend starts a recording for the current show, then
switches to a <br>
recording for the next show when the first show ends, this
requires <br>
backend interaction not available via the API. Leanfront
instead makes a <br>
time based recording from the channel, so the recording file
does not <br>
have the program name, just a default name with date and
time.<br>
<br>
Note that LiveTV in leanfront is unsuitable for channel
surfing. It <br>
takes 15-30 seconds to tune a channel, so I have not
provided a way to <br>
change channels while watching. You have to exit playback,
confirm, and <br>
then select another channel.<br>
<br>
If you use LiveTV and you have a specific suggestion for
improving it, <br>
please open an issue in github.<br>
<br>
I thought it was useful to leave the LiveTV recordings in
the list and <br>
allow them to be automatically deleted by the system. If you
want them <br>
deleted immediately upon exit that should not be difficult.<br>
<br>
Possibly I could provide a way to invoke LiveTV from the
Program Guide <br>
if that would help.<br>

<div>Lately I have been playing around with what is available
to run as a frontend on android devices as I no longer use
any type of pc for watching tv.</div>
<div>Leanfront is really nice because it is such a small
package and really snappy. Picture quality looks good too.
But I am a channel surfer so its not really the best option
for me.</div>
<div>Currently I am fine using Kodi with the mythtv pvr
plugin. It does everything I need and is fairly snappy.
But Kodi is kind of bloated and just feels heavy. And I
only use it for watching tv.</div>
<div>Mythfrontend on android works, but it is slow. </div>
<div>I have plex with a lifetime pass. The dvr on it works
fairly well, but its not compatible with the mythtv backend.</div>
<div>And NOTHING beats the mythtv backend for scheduling and
recording tv. </div>
<div>If plex ever has the option to work with the mythtv
backend, then that would be pretty awesome. I could use
plex for everything.</div>
<div>I'm sure you have more important things to do with your
time rather than modify leanfront to do something that only
a few people would appreciate. But I really appreciate the
offer.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Appreciate what you all do.</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>

<p>For Live TV I use the Xfinity Stream app, which also runs on the
fire stick, and is available if you are a Comcast subscriber. It
has all the channels and a guide. Other providers may also have an
app you can use on the fire stick or Android TV device.<br>
