Timeshift/Storage/Hard Drive

Hi All

So I bought my H5.2TC from the forum sponsors, not sure how I get a password for the support forum on here but that's a different matter.

I have configured it with Wooshbuild and all is working fine. I purchased an SD card and play/pause/rewind works well too, however, here is my slight niggle that I'm hoping someone can help with.

When scrolling through the epg i can click any channel and see it in the little pip windows, however, when I select any channel so it goes full screen I get the following message:

==========================
Creating HArdlink to Timeshift file failed!
The Filesystem on your Timeshift-Device does not support hardlinks.
Make sure it is formatted in EXT2, EXT3 or EXT4!

[Errno 1]Operation not permitted.
==========================

I have to press the exit button, sometimes up to a dozen time, before it disappears.

I assume I need to format the SD card but what is the best method to accomplish this?
 
I'm not sure how ATV works,
but there is somewhere on your box to initialise it,
have a look in the menu for storage, menu>set-up>storage , is where it is on ViX
you then need to go to timeshift settings and point them to your SD card,
the same with recordings

I assume your PC is windows.?
 
Cheers, I'll give this a try tonight when I get home from work.

Yes, my PC is windows.
I use Linux so can format the sd direct to .ext filesystem , there is a way to do it in windows, but I have no idea how,
but initialising it on your box will do the same thing
