Timeshift file issue.

[ter9999]

There is one timeshift issue that if I set the "minimum disk space" to 200MB, when the timeshift file consumes most of the disk space to reach the "min disk space", the timeshift file will stop there. It means later TV motion picture won't be stored in the timeshift file. This is not a good method to deal with.

 

 

It's better to allow user to define the timeshift file size, if the file reaches the defined size, the earliest will be replaced with most recent scenes. It's better to allow us store the timeshift file in the RAM instead of hard disk. This will allow fastest user search. ProgDVB has this method of timeshift.

 

Please consider this way. Thanks much!!

That's intended behaviour no bug. The only other solution would be: if the minimum is reached the whole timeshift file is deleted and a new one is created.

 

What works best: throw hardware at it. A 1 TB USB drive is cheap and will last for days worth of timeshift even with HDTV.

I think this topic is suitable for the feature request? I'd appreciate if there was a feature to trim the timeshift file right within the DVBViewer app, without need of some external programs.

I know, there is a new feature in v4.2.1 that allows you to make recordings from timeshift - but it means, you have to pause the timeshift on the right spot, start recording, and wait while it's playing all the time that you want to record - it takes time and duplicates memory. It'll be just easier and lot quicker if you could quickly crop the timeshift file and save it as a recording file.

Thanks in anvance
