Q: What limits are there on the size of the buffer and is the buffer a ring buffer? I.e. if I set the buffer to 60 mins, and realtime is currently say 35 mins, can I timeshift back to the beginning (e.g. 0 mins).</blue>
A: The buffer size is limited only by the size of the HDD. The buffer is a ring buffer. Yes, you can shift from 35 mins to 0 mins if the buffer size is 60 mins.
Is it straight forward to loop a segment of the buffer, for example you want to play one part of it over and over as a loop (while realtime video continues to be recorded).
[red]Several threads can read from various parts of the buffer independently (without interrupting the buffering of realtime video).[/red]
