PVR.DVBViewer Client.settings.png
DVBViewer Recording Service IP address
The hostname or IP address of the server where DVBViewer Recording Service is installed and running. If on the same machine then 'localhost' or 127.0.0.1 can be used.
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.
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.



Advanced Settings

PVR.DVBViewer Client.advanced.png
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
