what are the filenames like?
maybe i can find -name my harddisk

see post #5 of this thread ^^

read basco read!

is there a threshold at which tvheadend starts buffering to disk? or does it start writing immediately at 'pause' press?

Same problem like basco. Version of tvheadend is the same described in post #12. XBMC is the latest build from today (RC). What I'm doing wrong?


Gone to Configuration -> General and setting the Path for Timeshift /srv/Timeshift (which exists), pause works but nothing appears. No files are written.

Check the filesystem permissions. The user under which tvheadend runs has to be the owner of that folder and needs write access to it.

that does not explain why it still works?

ps aux | grep tvh
hts 11050 7.8 0.3 1112104 32288 ? Ssl 05:06 39:50 tvheadend -f -u hts -g video

i did a:
chown hts:hts /mnt/storage/timeshift

i will check this evening if it makes any difference

Should be chown hts:video /mnt/storage/timeshift I guess?

i don't know. i changed it to hts:video. i'll test it this evening.

tested it....
no go.
i'm currently time shifting over 5 minutes and no file has been written.

did a

find -name tvh-*

on my hdd, no files found

tvheadend addon 1.6.4 + tvheadend:
From https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend

Updating 759b5b1..8276b58

no timeshift.... when ./configure --enable-timeshift

git checkout feature/timeshift

before you start building.

git checkout feature/timeshift
M debian/changelog
Already on 'feature/timeshift'

ok, tested it with previous tvheadend.
i can now confirm that in tis version timeshift works:
tvheadend_3.3.199~g759b5b1-dirty~precise_amd64.deb

in this version of tvheadend (latest) timeshift does not work:
tvheadend_3.3.207~g8276b58-dirty~precise_amd64.deb

built like this:

git checkout feature/timeshift
./configure --enable-timeshift
make
./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64
dpkg -i ../tvheadend_3.3.207~g8276b58-dirty~precise_amd64.deb

anyone else tried this?

i haven't used the packaging stuff in there, but it works fine when you compile manually
