How to Enable IPTV Timeshift

Timeshift lets you pause and rewind live TV using a rolling local buffer. It depends on player support, storage space, and stable write speed.

Enable timeshift in player settings

Locate the timeshift or live pause feature in your IPTV app settings and enable it. Some apps call this live pause or rewind.

Choose a buffer storage location

Select internal storage or a fast external drive. Avoid slow SD cards for long buffers.

Set the buffer length

A 30 to 90 minute buffer is common. Longer buffers require more storage and can slow older devices.

Test playback and rewind

Play a live channel, pause, and rewind. If the buffer skips or stutters, reduce buffer length or use faster storage.
