Description

When timeshifting, the buffer becomes full and no new buffer is created. New buffers should be created.

What I think is happening is that TVH switches buffers every 60 seconds and when it does, it considers the buffer full. But that means timeshift only works for 2x60 seconds as it does for me, which doesn't make sense. I wonder why this has not been seen before. People must have timeshifted more than 2 minutes...?

The timeshift buffers look like this:
pi@tvserver /h/timeshift $ ls lRh
.:
total 4,0K
drwx-----
3 pi pi 4,0K jun 5 09:26 buffer

./buffer:
total 4,0K
drwx------ 2 pi pi 4,0K jun 5 09:28 1

./buffer/1:
total 62M
rw------ 1 pi pi 27M jun 5 09:28 tvh-1448
rw------ 1 pi pi 35M jun 5 09:29 tvh-1449

It stays like this forever. When I unpause in xbmc, I can watch those buffers but then the video freezes since it runs out of buffers to watch.

My timeshift config is attached in the picture (no ondemand, unlimited size, unlimited time)
