    Pausing live TV does not work reliably

    ==========================
    Gigablue Quad Plus

    Problem reproduced on:
    - OpenViX Apollo.062
    - OpenViX Apollo.088
    I also reproduced it from a factory reset of the box WITHOUT restore settings.

    Problems occur on both skins:
    - ViX Night HD skin
    - ViX Blue HD V3 skin
    ==========================


    ==========================
    Pausing live TV does not work reliably.
    ==========================

    Timeshift setting:
    Timeshift location: /media/hdd/timeshift/
    Automatically start timeshift after: 2 seconds
    Show warning when timeshift is stopped: No
    Timeshift-save action on zap: Don't save
    Stop timeshift while recording?: No
    Use timeshift seekbar while timeshifting?: Yes

    I'm using a 1TB internal 2.5 inch HD that came with the box from WOS.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Turn on box
    2. Flick to any channel
    3. Wait for more than 2 seconds for TS to kick in (as per my settings)
    4. Hit play/pause on the remote. At this point, the live feed will pause
    5. Wait for some period of time, say 10 seconds (this time does not really matter, it fails whether I wait for 1 second or 1 minute)
    6. Hit play/pause on the remote again to resume playback. More often than not, playback will resume at live TV and not and the point where I paused it. This can also be seen from the time on the infobar.

    After the problem occurs, I can still rewind live TV back to the point where I originally paused it ... but I shouldn't have to do that. It should resume from the point I paused it at.

    As I said, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The problem occurs approx every 4 of of 5 attempts which is very annoying.

    In the attached DEBUG log, the 2nd from last pause/resume worked perfectly. I beleive this is on line 1314 in the log: "Start timeshift!"
    The very last pause/resume failed. Line 1652 in the log: "Start timeshift!"
    The logs are clean - box only booted a few minutes and there is very little activity.

    Play/Pause works perfectly when watching a recorded show.

    Is this a know issue? Is there some setting I'm missing?

    Yes - same problem using the OK button.

    Sorry for the multiple threads. I thought one thread in the general openvix support forum and one thread in the Gigablue Quad+ forum would cover more users.

    I have the same problem with ATS - I can't rewind past the start of the current program.

    For what it's worth, I have the same issues on my solo2 has divil and Gary (reported on his thread). I find the pause issue is more annoying for me than the rewind.
    Vix image (usually latest) - VU Solo 4K- WD 1TB INTERNAL HDD - DVB-T Freeview, trialling IPTV options

    Yep - I can get over the rewind into the previous program.
    The pause not working could be a deal breaker with the better half ... and even for myself. It's actually very annp

    When I purchased the Gigablue Quad+ from WOS, I asked them to flash it with the latest openvix (apollo.62 at the time). I have never seen what Gigablue actually ship on the box - I assume Pause will work properly with whatever image that happens to be.
    I might have a look at installing the original image that should come with the Gigablue Quad+ - anybody have any pointers at where I can download it?
    Is it easy to restore openvix with all my settings if I decide to revert? Is it worth the effort putting the original Gigablue on it?

    Thanks for the help and comments so far everyone!

    Timeshift is working perfectly on my Duo2 running openvixHD Apollo 088, but after reading this I thought that I had better check it again been running it in timeshift for a while, i have paused it rewound it fast forward it at different speeds played it paused it again and finally Recorded it with the option of present or previous timeshift programs and it worked faultlessly, i have captured some screens as it was being tested and they are numbered from 1st to last

    Thanks for the info nsw9154

    For those more familiar with these problem - is it likely to be a driver issue?
    I'm new to Enigma2/openvix and linux satellite receivers (although I do have quite a bit of experience with linux)

    Is the kernel + drivers bundled with openvix? If I try another "distro" of Enigma2 am I likely to hit the same issue?

    Can you rewind to previous program, when not been paused? i.e Does your PTS work as thats an issue too

    I see what you mean I will do a few tests on a different channel as using the news channel only gives me the news and is not really a fair test
