1.3 - Timeshift stuttering

[Dreamer]

There is random timeshift stuttering at all channels (FTA and scrambled).

Known bug, but I didn't find any official topic about it, so I have vreated new topic.

Hi,

I have the same problem.
I already tried several video/audio codecs but that didn't help.
My CPU-usage is at ~50%, so this is not the problem, too...

I set the timeshift buffer to 800 MB, located in main memory.

I hope this bug can be fixed, its the only thing that I dont like in this software

Does changing the process priority of DD affect the frequency of the timeshift stuttering? Also, what is the overall commit charge of ram on all running processes?

Hi all!
I found the same problem with DD. I gave 500 MB RAM to timeshift, and whenever I jump back, the content start to stutter.When the content has fast frame changes, then it becomes worse.

I hope that you guys will find out where is the bug.

Bye

I tried few different codecs, overlay and vmr9 renderers, normal, high, and real time priority, FTA and scrambled channels, CPU usage is about 25%, DD usage is 10-20%, Total commit charge is 928404 K, DD's 212600 K.

Has anyone noticed that when using HD buffering, when the buffer is full you can't rewind or fast-forward anymore, you can only go to the beginning and the end?

Makes timeshifting completely useless.

The same problem here

This bug is still not fixed, but there is a workaround from version 1.5c.

Start recording in DVB Dream and open recorded file in VLC while recording. Now you can pause, forward and rewind as with timeshift.

Tested a bit, looks fixed, great work, Rel, thank you, hope also the controls and navigation will be improved later.

Of course, it needs more testing...
