[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1143355, member: 82144"] As Lehmden said, the 12 files would not be used unless user 1 paused TV for long enough that files 4 - 12 were needed. Normally only 3 files would be used before cycling begins. The settings are independent for each user user. In other words, if you set min = 3, max = 12, size = 512 MB then TV Server will use up to 6 GB [B]per user[/B]. If user 1 had used all 12 files (ie. no space left) then user 2 would not be able to start timeshifting. There is no concept of reducing allocation. Yes, if you have 4 users timeshifting with the previously mentioned 3/12/512 settings then normally 3 files x 512 MB per file x 4 users would be the space used. User 5 would not be able to join the party. For a 6 GB RAMdisk there would be no space left to create a new timeshifting file, so timeshifting would fail. Yes, that's right... assuming nobody else has paused (using more than 3 files) and that user 5 is even able to start timeshifting (space must be available to create at least 1 timeshifting file). HD ~= 10 Mb/s = 1.25 MB/s 6 users x 1.25 MB/s = 7.5 MB/s x 2 for read/write = 15 MB/s I would have thought that HDDs could handle that. ...and for the network, 7.5 MB/s = 60 Mb/s.
