PristDean 13 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi When you pause live TV, or rewind live TV before fast forwarding back to live..... where is that data stored to enable you to do this ? I suspect that it may be the 'Transcoding Temporary Path'. But when I moved the location from attached SSD drive to internal storage on my NVIdia Shield, the Shield lost it's 7Gb of free space quickly and eventually locked up. If If switch the transcoding path back to SSD again, no more message from the Shield, but performing the pause / rewind on live TV lags badly and locks. I have USB performance set to 'Max' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PristDean 13 Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) Thanks, so how much space does this take up? when watching live tv with the path aimed at my NVidia Shield, all free 7Gb of space was taken up after approx 2 hours of watching live TV, Is that expected ? If so, is there no clear down of data after an hour or so ?, if not it appears the data could just grow and grow until you exit from a stream or run out of disk space Edited January 22, 2023 by PristDean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be improving this in upcoming updates to store that buffer in smaller slices so that we can delete them over time throughout your stream. That will prevent this from happening.

PristDean 13 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Okay, thanks. This is a real bug bear within an otherwise excellent system. Looking forward to the release, hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say disable it, do you mean disable the ability to pause, rewind and forward live TV ?..... if so you can do this via 'Application Settings' - 'Live TV' - 'Direct Play Live TV' and enable. From within the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I thought direct playing live TV would have no requirement to store any live TV data data... looks like I was wrong then, haven't tested it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
