Timeshift How To

[Capt.Kangaroo]

Here is instruction of how to use time shift.
Firstly, you should format usb stick memory of micro sd memory to FAT32 format in your pc.
Insert it to Dreamlink USB or Micro SD slot.
Check if stick is mounted correctly thru File Browser APK which is preinstalled at My APPs menu
While watching a live channel, press Left button on remote, and you will see progress bar popping up at bottom on screen.
Enjoy time shift by using Left, Right or ok button.

Captain...what if we want to use a larger drive, like a 1TB HDD? Fat32 is incompatible for a drive that size is it not? I thought it worked with NTFS as well?

[Marley]

yea think fat32 is good for 4 gigs at time

[dishuser]

yea think fat32 is good for 4 gigs at timeyou can format much bigger to fat32
last one I did was 250gb

Not working for me. I only have a few days before my return window closes. Do you think it's a software issue that will get fixed, or should I just return and get a new box?

It could be a combination of a few things you either have a faulty box or your not doing something correctly still..and it very well could be a bit of both it’s really hard to tell and hard to diagnose a problem like you without usually someone being there

[JakedUp]

Doubtful it's user error -- I'm a pretty experienced, tech savvy developer. I'm going to assume it's a faulty box, and that the other people having issues with timeshift also have faulty boxes. It's either that, or a software issue with that latest update that we all received. Either way, the lack of official support is frustrating!

I had time shifting working fine before (pause , rewind) However when you pause, the audio keeps streaming. When you unpause, it goes back to live TV. This feature is a great addition, however it can be related to software, and matters on server side too. Keep the updates coming :-)

[Capt.Kangaroo]

They are aware of this issue, it will be fixed

[bombz]

That's great news. I look forward to seeing those developments.

[Capt.Kangaroo]

Todays update fixed it....

Hi, time shift works fine on my t1. i just got my large shipment of t2s and i plug in the usb and it reads it fine and recording works. But on the t2 when when i press left and right button the time bar dosent pop up. I have tried multiple t2 units and none are working with time shift. Also tried doing factory reset.

[gerardo66]

same here click left and nothing but look like something still recorded in the USB stick
please try to fix

[desiboy1]

Yep recording works so it is reading the usb.

[JakedUp]

For those having timeshift issues, it's likely that you have your box set to 4K resolution. Setting the resolution to 1080p has fixed the issue for me.

[desiboy1]

Jakedup, you're absolutely correct! 1080p fixed the time shift. 4k resolution wouldn't support it...
Thanks

[Ryu]

thank you jakedup:cool: hope this will help others. kof

[desiboy1]

Okay its working but when you rewind and play it just freezes and studders for me.... what am i doing wrong? Im on 1080p 60hz
Anyone else getting freezing on timeshift?

[JakedUp]

Yes it's a little buggy, but at least it works.

[bombz]

Not working yet. It will try to rewind but then just jump back to live feed. It use to work :-(

[gerardo66]

[desiboy1]

Yes working for me the recording with usb dongle 8GB FAT 32

[Capt.Kangaroo]

Yes working for me the recording with usb dongle 8GB FAT 32
Thanks for the confirmation, working here also...8GB flashdrive

[desiboy1]

Yes working for me the recording with usb dongle 8GB FAT 32

If your recording is working but time shift is not, then it means your resolution is higher than 1080p...

Hi, i just wanted some clarification on the rewind live TV option. When i select a channel i can only go back to the part when I first selected the channel. If i were to come into say a sporting even 30 mins in, would i be able to rewind to the start or even 5 mins before?

[Eddy61]

Working for me using a 2tb USB drive formatted to NTFS half loaded with movies... Flawless.
