Timeshift - File location?

falcc · 2006-08-27, 06:07

Obviously my search skills are lacking as I can't seem to find where MP stores Timeshift files. Basically I'd like to make sure it places them on a seperate drive so that one drive isn't doing all the work.

Thanks!

The timeshift files are stored in the "Card x" folder under the TV Recordings folder and they are hidden files.

If you want to locate them in a different location, just change the "Recording folder" location in Mp Configuration / Television / Capture Cards / Edit TV Card. Note that your recorded TV programs will also be located in this new folder...

Each card has its timeshift files inside a folder (card1, card2 etc) within your Recorded TV directory.

EDIT Ahhh you beat me! Can we not delete our own posts?

Thanks for that. I saw a small file in there but it didn't seem to be increasing. I'll have a closer look.

yes I think if you go about 2" from the monitor or 5" from TV you'll see it (it's a pretty small file and needs a closer look)

...

(ok it was a stupid joke)
