Tato Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) X5 v20220624 Buzz TV 5 v5.0.727 128 GB USB External Storage Timeshift set to Force USB TS The feature works as designed, but will eventually fill the USB drive. I've been removing the drive and deleting the files on a PC. Neither file app on the BuzzTV 5 homepage can take you to the cache, stopping at the Data file. Is there another way of deleting the timeshift files that are no longer required? Edited September 19, 2022 by Tato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbs. Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I don't think you need to delete anything It'll just record over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tato Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I tried uploading a pic, but it didn't work. When using timeshift, it will record over the file in use. Every time a new timeshift session starts, a new file is created. This is how the cache can completely fill all available space on the external drive. When that happens, timeshift no longer functions due to a lack of space. I'm deleting the files now as part of weekly maintenance. Maybe this will be addressed in a future update, or not. Just wondering if there was another way to empty the cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poison Aid Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 All you guys are cool and really helpful. BuzzTV is a great box but in recent after TV app update to Buzz 5 things have become haywire. It's hard to explain my IPTV provider who tell me that the problem is on my side. Confusion is that All was good before the update (new Buzz 5 App). And now there some hiccups, so developers probably broke something while launching the new App. Love the new UI of the App, just sad of the hiccups happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why i asked, if you guys are actual tech support team. But you guys are wingmen/women who take care of each other.

Right now a lot of the issues you have mentioned in different threads + posts on this Forum sound like an isolated issue There are tons of users using the same update as you and do not experience the issues you have, or a small amount do. Were still here to help though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
