Webinterface Port
Port of Recording Service Webinterface
Username / Password
Login credentials for the Recording Service Webinterface
Use favourites instead of channel list
Display channels of favourites file instead of whole list. Small favourites list speeds up startup time.

Advanced Settings

Enable Timeshift
Enable or disable timeshift support.
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 timeshift support.
Enable low performance mode
Disables loading of channel logos and recording thumbnails. Use on low performance devices such as the Raspberry Pi
