Timeshift / Pause

[markb]

I have two mounts, an NFS server for recording and playback and a USB stick for picons and Meoboot. I'd like to use the yellow / pause button but nothing happens. I've tried looking everywhere in the system menu but can't find any way of activating it. I thought there is normally an option to change Recording Paths but can't see it in BH 1.6.5

Can anyone please suggest how I can get Pause to work?

You should go in menu, setup, system, recording paths, choose an existing location for timeshift.

Thanks Tamaki, that's what I was expecting to do but when I go to menu,setup,system there is no option for recording paths like there normally is in an E2 image. I get the other usual options: A/V settings, autoresolution, language, customise, timezone, network, display set up, keyboard, video-fine-tuning and skin - but nothing for recording paths. Maybe I need a plugin?

ps I changed the original post as I was only getting "Timeshift not possible" because my NFS share wasn't mounted. When it is mounted, I get no message and no action when clicking yellow / pause button

Have you enabled "Expert" mode into Image Setup? I don't remember where is this parameter, sorry

Thanks, I have now - I hadn't noticed before. Now I can see Recording Paths and can see Timeshift location is /media/hdd. I need it to be /hdd/movie (my NFS share) but it seems impossible to change the location or remove the existing bookmark. Is there a way to change it?

You have to add bookmarks.
Press twice recordings botton, then press menu, select dir browser and add the bookmark for timeshift, than save.
Now you should be able to select it as timeshift location.

I must be doing something wrong, if I press the recordings button (the one next to TV) I get the Start Recording option. If I do it from within the Recording Path screen I get the wrong button sign.

I can add a bookmark for Movie Path by pressing Recording List button twice, then Menu - but this doesn't help me change the Timeshift Location

Found it! I had to press the menu button only to switch into the file list. Then I could create the new bookmark. Thanks for your help. I really like this image.
