Timeshifting configuration

The TV is working fine with Tvheadend, except if i want to use the timeshifting feature. I can pause the program, resume it, but after some time the image will freeze, not the sound. I do then have to press the stop key.

I do not have good news for you:
In my experience you can forget using the timeshift feature of TVheadend. This is still completely crappy and will IMO never work without completely rewriting it. I spent many hours to get it work but it was and is NEVER stable. Absolutely unreliable. I gave up and returned to vdr for live stream, timeshift is working perfectly there. TVheadend is only usable for recordings here.

You took right word for this feature unter TVheadend

I don't want to connect an external HD to the PI (i'd like to keep things clean and tidy under my tv)

No!
You can configure timeshift buffer completely in ram, but believe me, it does not make any difference. I won't work

Quote:Do you have some advices on how to configure a network share on my nas, in order to get the best performance (nfs, smb, parameters, etc...)? My pi is connected to the network with an ethernet cable, same thing for the nas.

I don't believe that throughput of the network is good enough for putting timeshift buffer on a network share. SD channels may work, HD probably not. I played a short time with this configuration (had not spare usb disk available) but was not successful (tried it with a WLAN connection, wired connection may work better)
