Quick Start

use crispy_catchup::{CatchupConfig, CatchupMode};

let config = CatchupConfig {
    mode: CatchupMode::Default,
    source: "http://example.com/archive/{utc}".into(),
    catchup_days: 7,
    supports_timeshifting: true,
    terminates: true,
    granularity_seconds: 60,
    is_ts_stream: false,
};

assert_eq!(config.catchup_days, 7);

Typical Uses

archive playback URL generation
EPG-driven timeshift playback
provider catchup compatibility layers

Current Limitations

this crate does not fetch EPG or playback content
vendor compatibility still depends on the quality of upstream metadata and templates
