Timeshift Buffering Fix for IPTV

Timeshift depends on continuous writes to storage. If the storage is slow or the buffer is too large, playback stutters or skips. Use the steps below to stabilize it.

Use faster storage

Internal storage or a fast USB drive works best. Avoid slow SD cards for long buffers.

Reduce buffer length

Long buffers require more disk writes and can slow low-end devices. Try 30 to 60 minutes first.

Stabilize your network

Timeshift still relies on the live stream. Use Ethernet or strong Wi-Fi to avoid interruptions.

Clear cache and restart

Restart the player and clear cache to reset the timeshift buffer if it becomes corrupted.
