Timeshift Help

Added by Lisa White almost 3 years ago

He guys its me again. The Hard drive crashed and I reinstalled a 14T. on my tvheadend server. The server is strictly dedicated for tvheadend only and I am using ubuntu 20.04 operating system. Everything is installed, but I have encountered a few problems with continuity errors when using iptv. I noticed that the bandwith was fluctuating, and causing buffering. I tried piping a few of the muxes, but it did not resolve the problem. I ran debug and the only thing that I found out of the ordinary was the Timeshift. I have the Timeshift pointed to /home/me/TVH/timeshift/buffer and it is not writing any files when the stream is paused. Time shift is activated but, according to the debug log, the information is being stored into ram. The debug log states : [ DEBUG]:timeshift: ts 107 RAM segment remove time 0 (size 25476669, alloc size 29360128). I do not have the "ram only" selected because I have tons of space on my hard drive to store these files. It appears that my TVH folder has read and write permissions but nothing is being written to the dedicated subfolder. I have the recordings subfolder setup in the same folder and it works fine. I switched to su hts and tried to chmod the folders but was unsuccessful because it keeps asking for a password, and none of mine seem to work.

Any help or advice is appreciate!!
Thanks, LIsa

Hi,

Not sure about your timeshift problem, but is there any reason you can't use 'sudo chmod /path/to/update' ?

Entering sudo will request a password, which is the password of the user you're currently logged in as.

Hello, thank your for the response. I did do that and did not work. Puzzled about this one.

Thanks,
Lisa~

Can you share how you're mounting the drive [e.g. the fstab entry] and 'ls -lahF /path/to/mointpoint'?
