Dear all!
I have timeshift issues with my tvheadend headless server setup under ubuntu linux:
I run ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS wit a 3.19 64bit linux kernel and tvheadend 4.0.8 installed from the official repository (deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu stable main).
Everything is working nicely, except for timeshift.
Everything includes:
* watching live TV via tvheadend web-interface and VLC player
* watching live TV via Kodi tvheadend clients
* recording to disk
* watch recordings
* setting timeshift parameters in the web-interface
* descrambling with oscam on the same server
TimeShift only works a bit, irrespective of clients (list see below), this means
# I can pause liveTV and then start playback a few minutes later. It starts normally but suddenly drops out of timeshift and jumps (I believe directly and without visual glitches) to liveTV without user intervention.
# I can jump back 10sec or 30sec, but then playback starts sometimes without sound, sometimes with sound and sometimes the video is frozen. When I wind forwards to catch up with liveTV, I fall out of the station and liveTV stops.
# winding forwards and backwards in TimeShift is possible, but very often the vidoe in the client freezes, stutters or crashes.
# when KODI and tvheadend is the client, the time indication during timeshift does not really make sense to me, but probably I just do not understand the reading.
Timeshift settings are:
* on-demand: no
* unlimited time
* unlimited HDD size
* use only RAM (I also tried to stream to HDD which fills up as expected, but playback does not improve)
My hardware is:
* AMD Athlon X2 3800+, socket 939 processor (processor usage is generally less than 20%)
* ASRock 939A785GMH128MBSP Mainboard
* 4GB Ram
* 40 GB PATA HDD for system
* 80 GB PATA HDD exclusively for TimeShift
* 4x DVBSky S960 USB receivers
* smargo smartreader v2 for oscam
clients are:
* Windows VLC player with HTSP plugin
* Windows VLC player directly from tvheadend webinterface
* Linux ubuntu desktop VLC player
* raspberry Pi with Kodi 6.0.1 and tvheadend client addon
Anyone knows what is wrong with my setup? Is my server hardware too old and too weak?
