Mark M Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Every time I change stations using the BuzzTV 5 app I get this message : Timeshift error: not enough storage space on the default storage. I have the 128GB model, which has 115 GB free, so storage space shouldn't be an issue. What's up with this, and how do I make this warning go away? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbs. Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 A USB is required for timeshift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Are you telling me that if I don't attach a USB, this message will continue to show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbs. Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I never said that. Since you said you had enough storage I assumed you had timeshift on. Do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 I didn't say you did...I was asking. Timeshift is on, and storage location is internal shared storage, which has 115GB free space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeshift is on, and storage location is internal shared storage, which has 115GB free space Using Internal Storage for timeshift is a bug on Android actually It requires a lot of space to use it. We will be removing it as an option in a future update If you want to use Timeshift its best to use a USB or SD Card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 2TB usually We have had some users report using 8TB though. With TimeShift though, 1GB-1.5GB per hour is usually how much space is needed. Depends on channel quality.

Ok...I just plugged in a 2TB WD drive, formatted it, clicked "move later" when it asked about moving files to the new drive. I then went to PVR options to switch the destination, but the new drive is not listed as an option, though the box does recognize and list the drive when I go to the storage tab in the settings menu. What am I doing wrong? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok re read what I wrote Cause I edited it Basically if nothing is moved over, Android considers the Drive not ready to use So it wont be available for any apps to access it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may have spoken too soon...another issue has popped up. Watching live TV, the vid keeps skipping a fraction of a second, slowly at first, then the frequency seems to pick up the longer I'm watching. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks again!
