Bug report: min=1 timeshift file (1 Viewer)

[binary64]

Latest svn, using rtsp, set min. timeshift files to 1, and max to 1. restart service. now watch a channel. after 10 mins or so, it will freeze up.

Let us know if it's reproducable or not

Oh, a possibly related sub-bug is: when the min. is set to '2', when you start timeshifting, it actually only starts off with 1 file.

hi binary!

the "real bug" is that the configuration allows you to select "1".
by design the TV-Server "rotates" the *.tsbuffer files for timeshift.
if you set it to 1, then it cant work.

so we will change the configuration to allow a minumum of 3 files.
this way we can be 99.99% sure that the TV-Server will not "run out of files" and "stops working".

Should there be a sane constraint for timeshift buffer file size too or is it ok to use e.g. 1MB as size?

I think it allows 0MB too which may cause interesting behaviour..

we will also introduce that minimum size is 20MB.
