Timeshift on all installed cards simultaneously

riadmelb · 2007-01-15, 11:38

Hi all,

While I was testing SageTV I noticed that when I switch between cards, the buffer doesn’t get deleted. And also when I restart the computer after SageTV crashes (it crashed so many times v6) I can still watch the old buffer.

I did notice on this post timeshiftbuffer does not get cleared on channelchange that the new TVengine will not delete the buffer when changing channels, but I think it will still clear it when changing between cards or when computer restart.

At the moment I have two cards in system and both connected using av jacks, no tv tuners, so I switch between cards a lot.

Thank you for your time, and for such a good platform.

Hi, I tested SageTV again, and I was wrong regarding both cards timeshifted simultaneously, it timeshifts one card at a time, just like MP. But it does actually keeps the buffer on the hard disk when switching channels or switching between cards, even when restarting the computer, and it's available to view.

I'm not sure how this feature would be useful, maybe for some users it is.
