Live TV
- Use favourites instead of channel list
- Display channels of favourites file instead of whole list. Small favourites list speeds up startup time.
- Use local favourites file
- Allows to specify a local favourites file. If not specified the remote (stored on the Recording Service Host) will be used.
- Enable Timeshift
- Enable or disable timeshift support. Timeshift support can be enabled on playback or on (first) pause.
- Timeshift buffer path
- The path to the timeshift buffer file. If you watch a channel for a long time you might run out of disk space (depends on your free space). Switching channel will truncate the file.
Recordings
- Group Recordings
- Group by recording directory, recording date, first letter, tv channel or series
- Enable EDL support
- Enable or disable EDL support. The EDL file has to be named like the recording and placed next to it. The file extensions has to be .edl.
- Only classic mplayer edl format is supported. That is multiple lines of [start time] [end time] [action]. Frame or hour style format entries are not supported.
- This requires DMS 2.1.0.0 or later.
- Start time padding / Stop time padding
- User specific offset which gets added to the values of each EDL entry
Advanced Settings
- Put outline (e.g. subtitles) before plot
- Some skins don't display the outline so some EPG information is hidden. Values are: Never, In EPG only, In recordings only, Always
- Enable low performance mode
- Disables loading of channel logos and recording thumbnails. Use on low performance devices such as the Raspberry Pi
- Enable transcoding
- If enabled, Recording Service will encode the video stream on the fly to some other format. Setting specifies the container format and can be either TS, WebM or FLV.
- Custom Live TV timeout (0 to use default)
- Changes the timeout (curlclienttimeout) from Kodi's default for Live TV connections
- Stream read chunk size
- Changes the chunk size to use when reading streams. Default is 64kb.
- Transcoding URL parameters
- URL parameters to be passed to the Recording Service transcoding API. For example to specify the ffmpeg preset (e.g preset=medium 768 kbit&subs=1). See transcoding_params_en.txt for all supported URL parameters.
