Ok, I've tried searching for this and looking through the manual but if it's there, then I've not found it yet
And it's not so much a problem as a question...
Where does Media Portal store the file for the Timeshifting function? Obviously when you hit pause it's recording the TV stream and storing it somewhere so you can fast forward/rewind through it, but I can't figure out where it's storing the stuff.
I've set the TV card recording folder to "D:\My Documents\My Videos\WinTV", and it puts normal recorded files in there. It's also made a folder called "card1" and when I enable timeshift it creates another file in there about 6k in size, I forget what it's called. And I'd like it to store any timeshift recordings in there too as it's on my largest hard drive partition.
Also, is there a maximum setting for how big the file can get (how much timeshifting can be done) and can you change it?
And err... about the regular recording. The software that came with the card (WinTV2000) records and saves stuff in .mpg (Mpeg 2) files, which makes sense as the card's hardware encoding them and just saving the file directly to disc.
Media Portal's giving me .dvr-ms files which I'm guessing it makes out of the MPEG 2 stream, converting and compressing them before saving them to disc. Is there any way to change that, or any need to? I know I can just convert them to .mpg or whatever within Media Portal, so it's not a big issue.
