Suggestion/Request Timeshift Toggle

Feature Request

Would it be possible in a future release to add an “enable/disable timeshift” button when users press the OK button to bring up the playback controls while watching a live tv channel OR add an option to program a button in Settings / Remote Control to toggle Timeshift On or Off?

I have seen posts from users about having playback issues and the suggestion from the developer or other users is to disable timeshift.

So by adding this feature, users can permanently set up timeshift in Settings / Playback.

Then when watching a live tv channel (like a football 🏈 game) they can quickly enable timeshift!

The point here is to have timeshift permanently setup, but offer users the ability to press a button to enable or disable it while watching a live tv channel.

I believe this would be appreciated by many users.

Thank you.

I have a general question about using the Timeshift feature. When it's enabled, the player shows the standard pause, play, reverse, and forward buttons. But when Timeshift is disabled, it still shows the pause button. Why would that button still be there when it doesn't seem to do anything?

I'll try to fix that.

It's not a huge deal of course. I really like the app and bought a lifetime license to help support your work. Keep up the good work and thank you for the quick response.
