Mediaportal - permanently record timeshifted program

Brasil2007 · 2008-04-13, 04:38

Hi,I want to permanently record a timeshifted program - I've looked all through the manual and fiddled with different settings but what I seem to be doing is recording the live stream rather than the timeshifted program. I must be missing something obvious, can anyone help?

Hello.

Is there anybody in there?

Just smile if you can hear me.

Is there anyone at home?

Well, timeshifting and recording are 2 different processes.

The timeshift buffer:
- is implemented as circular buffer, that means if you have 1 file for timeshifts and it's max. size is 1 GB and the 1 GB limit has been reached it continues to write the next packets at the beginning of the file
- after stopping timeshifting the file gets deleted

Recording:
- you can record a program "endlessly". At least till your hard drive is full

The big difference:
The timeshift buffer is filled even if you switch to another channel. So after some channel switches you also have these in the timeshift file.
If you record a program you can't switch the channel (only on the same transponder)

So to keep it short:
If i understand you right, it's not possible

Sorry, that's currently not possible and quite hard to realize.
