Please fix and improve Timeshift

  • TIMESHIFT
    fix:
    1.
    after Fast Forward so often comes slow motion video with jerking audio
    2.
    when Fast Forward goes over event change sometimes it jumst to the end of next event
    3.
    RC buttons '<', '0' and '>' do switch services as in non timeshift mode,
    on previous Enigmas that buttons were able jump to beginning and the end of recorded timeshift events
    (about ability add markers on the fly, by press '0', don't remember)


    improve:
    1.
    exclude jerking and lose ~one~ second on each event change.
    as i remember with Enigma1, there were limited size of recorded file and first file were called *.ts
    but when recording reached size limit all next files were called *.ts.001 *.ts.002 *.ts.003 ..
    and on playback these multiple files there weren't any jerks,
    that means if playback system knows about next file it can be buffered before
    2.
    when save timeshift do add additional time as it is defined in recordings settings
    3.
    don't interrupt timeshift recording when service moved to PiP




    RECORDING
    fix:
    1.
    option `stop current recording and all next repeated` disables timer event without stopping current recording
    2.
    when recording restored after box restart there isn't option to stop recording in UI



    PLAYBACK
    fix:
    1.
    do able play unfinished file on cifs path -
    when one box started recording another box can play that file just to the place where it were recorded in a playback start moment

  • First, SvenH has published many improvements to PTS. Maybe, this already fulfills your wishes.

  • On DreamOS Timeshift ist not disabled when you press 2x Blue to enable PIP, then in PIP it will be live TV and Timeshift in Main screeen stays active and when you then use PIP swap ....

    yes, test the new Permanent Timeshift Plugin (PTS).
    Here you can begin to read the changes:

    And here you can download the last version:

    There was fixed the problem with the rc-buttons to change the channel on active timeshifting.
    With Permanent Timeshift you can use pip without interrupt timeshift recording.
    PTS has now an own Display-Screen and it is showing the real remaining time on timeshift.

  • Warum soll man permanent Timeshift laufen lassen wenn man das vielleicht gar nicht will, dann PTS anzubieten ist ja wohl kaum die Lösung :winking_face:
    Ich wollte auch nicht dass der mir permanent auf der Platte rumschreibt...

    partly, channels do not change, but how about jump to beginning/end?



    With Permanent Timeshift you can use pip without interrupt timeshift recording.


    i meant when service has been moved to pip and returned to main screen



    and THANKS!

  • @MartiniB
    Do you want to use the keys „<„ and „>“ to jump to begin/end of current timeshiftfile?
    With Stop-Key you can now jump to the end/live-TV.


    Timeshift works only for current main-screen-service.

    yes, this helps when after Fast Forward it's jumped to the end of next event
