make sure you device is not FAT32

thanks for that checked its not fat 32 it seems to happen when you change channels everything else seems ok

Check the device is actually mounted correctly and that your recording / timeshift mount points point towards the correct directory's.

hi all just had a look it seems when you have perm timeshift set to yes it says the directory/hdd/timeshift is not a ext2 ext3 ext 4 or nfs partition
make sure you have a valid partion type regards fizza

 

[Larry-G]

How did you setup this HDD ? did you initialize it via the image it self ?

 

[fizza]

thanks for the quick reply i did intialize the hdd via the image it pauses rewinds/records fine i have had no probs with the hdd before i put the new image on today about 4pm the wife going nuts lol she has gone to watch tv upstairs

as i said check the mounts via the mount manager to make sure there correct and post back

blue button > ViX > Mount Manager.

just had a quick look at mount manager it displays usb portable size 976.52gb mount /media/hdd device /dev/sda1 type vfat r/w hope this helps

I believe to use permanent timeshift correctly, it needs to be initialised by the stb, to ext 4 not fat 32.
In mount manager it should say ext4 not vfat.
Hope this helps.
