VLC 1.0.*-1.1.* doesn't create Timeshift file (W7/XP)+Linux

[vel_tins]

I am receiving a mpegts stream from my server.
But when I press "Pause" Button on my Vlc, nothing happens.
VLC stops immediately loading data, and a "timeshift-file" is never created.
Tested with Win7 and WinXP.
But Log shows the following:

Code: Select all

main debug: using timeshift granularity of 50 MBytes main debug: using timeshift path 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp'

Whats wrong?

Does it work any better if you launch playback from command-line with timeshift options?

Commandline doesn't work too.
I tried some variations, and VLC always shows, in the log, that its using timeshift, but it does not

Code: Select all

"C:\Program files\VideoLAN\VLC_1.0.5\VLC.exe" --access=timeshift --input-timeshift-path=z:\temp --input-timeshift-granularity=50000000 http://mystream

gives this output:

Code: Select all

main debug: using timeshift granularity of 47 MBytes main debug: using timeshift path 'z:\temp

'
EDIT: same issue with VLC under Ubuntu 9.10. If I press "pause", Vlc loads the stream around 5 sec more, and then stops loading.
Data is never written to harddisk...

Yep, it seems timeshift doesn't work with HTTP streams.

[vel_tins]

that are really, no good news.
Is it a known or unknown bug ? Especially, when receiving a stream, timeshift makes sense..

[VLC_help]

I don't know which one it is. Since HTTP can offer both static and dynamic content I don't know how it should be handled.

It seems the bugtracker isn't open for all. Could someone please open the proper bug ticket?

Thanks!

[VLC_help]

And write what to it?

How was it handled in vlc08 versions?
There it worked with adding timeshift to the access-filters and activating timeshift-force.
I really miss this function!
