Hi guys i have purchased one of these boxes from the sponsor with latest openvix installed and just set it all up running but having a problem with timeshift its a twin sat tuner and have activated timeshift in setup using 32GB USB flashdrive formatted to FAT32 when i press pause on remote i get error message saying

The directory/media/hdd/timeshift/is not a EXT2 ,EXT3 ,EXT4 OR NFS partition make sure you select a valid partition type

if i go into setup it will not allow me to change timeshift location using L/R arrows on remote


any help much appreciated thanks in advance

You need to format the stick in EXT3 or EXT4, the box will do that for you.

I have tried menu/setup/system/storage devices/convertext3 filesystem to ex4 selected the USB device pressed red to convert

and get this errore2fsck-b 32768
/dev/sda1 contains a vfat file system


its ok guys i have managed to sort it i initiated it first then converted to ex4 then mounted it as media/HDD

thx for your time judge

Use initialise in that menu, you will lose everything on the USB stick though.
Also 32GB isn't ideal for TS if also using for recordings and so on...
