|
Advanced Settings
- Enable Timeshift
- Enable or disable timeshift support. This might increase channel switching time.
- 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.
- Use RTSP streaming for live TV
- Use RTSP instead of MPEG transport stream for live TV. At present this disables support for timeshift.
- Enable low performance mode
- Disables loading for channel logos and recording thumbnails. Use on low performance devices such as the Raspberry PI
