Support for streams in Windows Explorer files

[antoniu200]

Hi!

I have this DVB-C decoder in my house that I use for recording various TV programs. Sometimes I watch those programs on my TV, sometimes on my PC using MPC-HC.
Ever since last year when I got this device I noticed that MPC-HC always displays the same duration of the file, from the moment I open the file until the end of the streamed .ts file, unless I reopen the file.
For example, I open the .ts file of a recorded TV program 2 minutes and 29 seconds after the decoder started recording. Of course, MPC-HC shows the file duration as somewhere around 2 minutes and 29 seconds. However, this duration does not change, even though the decoder keeps on writing to that file, while MPC-HC allows playback after the 2 minute 29 second timestamp.

Today I updated MPC-HC's LAV Filters, but this issue still remains.
.mkv files also allow such streaming functionality and the same issue is present there too.

Are there any plans to implement more support for such files?

Thank you!

EDIT: To simply reproduce, record anything (your screen, something with your camera) in .mkv format and open the file before actually stopping recording.
