Hi.

I have updated to the latest server and turned up timeshift. I also added the 1.6.16 pvr.hts to my ion openelec.

I am running live production fir the last 3 days with not a single issue. Fantastic work. I have oscam connected for decryption. The system is rock solid.

Some awsome work Andy and team. Thank you.

The 1.6.16 build I grabbed from git and compiled on my ububtu into a zip installed pain free on the latest openelec ion build. My question is for openelec raspberry pi can I safly import the same zip or do I need to compile on a pi first?

Cheers
Damian

If you need I can send you the zip which I used on openelce.
I followed the instructions dutchmaniac just linked to, but build on an ubuntu server.

Well learn from mistakes. I went ahead knowing damn well it was a bad idea and used the same .zip on the pi. It installed but was not long crashing the addon.

How or where can I build a pi version of 1.6.16 as I have total broken it with no hts addon.

Thx?

[Damian.Flynn]

Thanks to google I found a copy of the plugins on the web and they happened to be dec 1st but still list as 1.6.16

I can watch recorded stuff but like tv is black screen with just an audio track.

Cheers

I think you need to install the libtool package.

[opdenkamp]

indeed. and use pastebin next time please

[DesG]

Would it be possible to use ram for the buffer instead of hdd?

Cheers, Des.

[Begall]

Set the timeshift folder to /dev/shm, that's a ramdisk with the default size of 50% of your RAM. I do it myself and it works well.

Perfect, thats a new one for me, I'll go have a play!

I seem to be having speed/buffer issues...

If I pause LiveTV and resume a little later, I get blocky playback a few times each minute and I get a very quick buffering message also a few times each minute resulting in stuttering playback

I installed latest TVH from git Build: 3.3.392~g2dcbc36 on Ubuntu 12.10 using IPTV with an USB NIC
I have the problem in XBMC both in xbmcbuntu and osx, both running pvr.hts version 1.6.16, compiled from git

I use on-demand timeshift. I tried to put the buffer both on an external USB disk and on the internal HDD, same result.

If I record a program and simultaneously watch the recording from Video Files in XBMC there are no problems.

Log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1549493/ The continuity counter errors always occur, also during LiveTV when everything works without problems.

p.s. really great and impressive work on TVH and XBMC-PVR lately! Keep up the good work guys!

[adamsutton]

Sounds like an IO issue, this has been mentioned by at least one other person but that turned out to be a problematic disk. The latest version of the timeshift code does create a new buffer file each minute so its possible that a slow FS is stalling things.

I read that post as well. That's why I tried it both on an external HDD and the internal HDD. The system is not giving any other FS problems, only during timeshift. I have checked that the glitches do not occur on file change from one buffer file to the next...

Is there a way I can play back the buffer files on their own, after e.g. brute force killing tvheadend, so that the buffer will not be emptied?
