Description

Hello guys,

I have problems with timeshift working with XBMC. My HTPC is running latest XBMCBUNTU (12.10). At first I was using the stable version Frodo 12.2 and the current stable version of tvheadend from your ubuntu ppa. When I tried to use timeshift, it worked for a few seconds and then freezed. I switched debugging on in the webinterface and paused for a few minutes (the first few times I paused just for a few seconds to see if logging works ;-) ):

Aug 23 20:20:07.781 timeshift: ts 5 buffer full

--- RESUMED TV ----

Aug 23 20:20:49.247 timeshift: ts 5 change speed 100
Aug 23 20:21:20.565 timeshift: ts 5 remove /home/htpc/buffer/5/tvh-1354
Aug 23 20:22:20.538 timeshift: ts 5 sob speed 100

As you can see, after resuming at 20:20:49 tv worked for about 30 seconds before freezing at 20:21:20.

Timeshift path is /home/htpc and df says:

/dev/sda7 26G 4.4G 20G 19% /home

so there should have been enough space.

I played a little bit with timeshift and monitored the buffer folder. When I pause a file named "tv-1399" was created. After that file reached a size of 16092 bytes another file ("tv-1400") was created (man, "was created"...is that proper english?) and when that file reached 23036 bytes the log said "buffer full". Second time the first while reached 5080 bytes and the second one 24700.

When I couldn't find an answer (and was frustrated with trying vdr) I upgraded my XBMC to one of the latest nightly (Gotham) and also upgraded tvheadend to the latest unstable, but it didn't help. The timeshift files are still being created but the log doesn't say anything about thimeshift. I can see that there was one timeshift file create with 1.4MB and another one which growed up to 44MB and then stopped.

What I get now is only this:

PAUSED

RESUMED

After resuming, playback worked for around 30 seconds and then freezed.

In addition to that: Is it correct that tvheadend "splits" the timeshift files?

Please, I already invested hours in analyzing what could cause this problem. I (and my wife :D) just want to watch live tv with working, stable timeshift.

If you need any further infos, just asked. Thanks!
