<dd>Turn on and off timeshift.
<dt>On-Demand
- <dd>Turn this on to only begin timeshift recording when pause is pressed.
- Leave unchecked for always timeshifting. (Rewinding even if you haven't pressed
- pause.)
+ <dd>Turn this on to start timeshift buffer on pause. In this mode
+ you cannot rewind the buffer (it always begins on the currently playing
+ frame).
+
+ Without this option there will be a permanent, cicular, buffer upto
+ the limits defined below.
<dt>Storage Path:
- <dd>Where should the timeshift data be stored.
+ <dd>Where the timeshift data will be stored. If nothing is specified this
+ will default to CONF_DIR/timeshift/buffer
<dt>Max. Period (mins):
- <dd>Specify the number of minutes to put into the timeshift.
+ <dd>Specify the maximum time period that will be buffered for any given
+ (client) subscription.
<dt>Unlimited:
- <dd>If checked, this overrides Max Period (mins) and will continue to timeshift until your
- hard drive or other storage medium fills up.
+ <dd>If checked, this allows the timeshift buffer to grow unbounded until
+ your storage media runs out of space (WARNING: this could be dangerous!).
+ <!--
<dt>Max. Size (MB)
- <dd>Specifies in Megabytes how big the timeshift file should get.
+ <dd>Specifies the maximum combined size of all timeshift buffers. If you
+ specify an unlimited period its highly recommended you specifying a value
+ here.
<dt>Unlimited:
- <dd>If checked, this overrides Max Size (MB) and will continue to timeshift until your
- hard drive or other storage medium fills up
+ <dd>If checked, this allows the combined size of all timeshift buffers to
+ potentially grow unbounded until your storage media runs out of space
+ (WARNING: this could be dangerous!).

Changes to any of these settings must be confirmed by pressing the
'Save configuration' button before taking effect.
+
+ NOTE: These settings represent server side maximums, however the clients can
+ request smaller buffers or even not to create a buffer at all (for example
+ should they not support timeshifting).
