True Timeshifting possible?
Posted: 10 May 2021 21:04
I want to timeshift a video capture device. Is that possible with VLC?
I see this page: https://wiki.videolan.org/Timeshift/
which talks about timeshift in DVR and then links to the feature: https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... timeshift/
However, the time shifting people use DVR for is not just to pause but also skip ads. When I try to timeshift with VLC, I can pause and resume but I cannot FF forward or catch up. Am I missing something?
I am also trying other alternatives such as saving the stream to a file and playback using another VLC player but this results in significantly worse quality and also high CPU usage. Would appreciate if there is a good solution to this.
