timeshift recordings deleted without warning

[dds]

I have recorded an important broadcast that recurs daily.

I thought, that the activated menu entry "keep timeshift file" could mean that the last recording might be overwritten when the next recording starts. So I unchecked it and left DVBViewer. I was almost shocked, when I realized, that my recording was deleted without any confirmation.

I need the recordings in the timeshift-format (*.ts) in order to import it in "dvr-studio".

Maybe DVBViewer could alert the user if it is trying to delete something.

Why are you surprised, if you decided not to keep it ?

 

btw. the ending .ts stands for transport stream. Try the dvbrecorder plugin. There you can choose between different formats. If you want to record the ts, you can add other streams (e.g. 2nd audio track) to the recording as well.

could mean that the last recording might be overwritten

no, the filename is a combination of date and time. Thus the next file gets another name.

I tried the recorder-plugin. It works fine. Thx
