Not much to add to the above (y)



MP is writing timeshift files on a disk. these files are then read by the client. Both writing and reading is time-sensitive and anything interfering with this process can cause stuttering and other unpleasant things. The server hardware has no means of distinguishing if a hard disk operation is for TV or any other read/write process. That said, if parallel activities with significant disk loads are taking place, e.g. client backup activities, the timeshift file read/write process can be delayed, which will prompt Live TV to be interrupted (like being paused).


Because of this timshift files should at minimum be placed on a separate drive, for which the easiest solutuion is to use a RamDisk.
