Disable Live TV Buffer

[PandaBrian]

Hi all, 

I didn't see this posted already but I have a raid1 setup and the drives are only 7500rpm. I've noticed when starting to watch HD channels via Kodi with the nextpvr client the IO on my disks spikes and there is a noticeable delay in the channel starting. 

I've no need to timeshift etc so is it possible to disable the live buffer entirely? (I also have issues with the buffers not deleting properly). 

Thanks
Brian

Thanks, I guess if there is no option to disable it, would you see any issues with using a ramdisk (2GB for example) to use as a location instead of the physical disk?

You can always try and see. Also you can reduce the timeshift buffer size in minutes to make it fairly small, but there is no guarantee that the live buffer won't be used for something else. I've always hoped sub would move temporary web files there rather than the config folder.
