JRiver won't time shift
« on: March 25, 2016, 06:18:15 am »
This morning I go to rewind live TV to catch something I missed and a message pops up that says I can't time shift because my drive only has 7XX MB free space.  So I go to My Computer and see that my C drive has 45% free space, a few hundred GB.  I looked in every place that makes sense to me to figure this out but I'm stumped.  Can you please help me figure this out? 

Thanks in advance, this forum is great.

Go to Standard View > Television, then Options.

Thanks Jim.  I see the programs I have recorded, but I don't known what to look for as far as not being able to time-shift. 
The message I get when I tune a channel is that I only have 723MB of free space, but my C drive shows 250GB+ free space.  I appreciate any help at all as this program totally confounds me. Seems like basic things are hidden like DVD easter eggs.

Did you set MC to use C: drive?  Click TV Options to check.

Got it!  I was poking around in standard view and found that it was directing the time-shift info to the recovery drive that Dell builds.  I started a new folder on the C drive.  It can time-shift now.  
I looked in the recovery folder to delete the time-shift files.  What am I looking for?    

Thank you for your help thus far.  I think JRiver is a great program, it's just not intuitive to me.  That probably means the folks that made the program think logically, unlike me haha.

We were typing at the same time.  Thanks!!  Do I need to delete any time-shift stuff from the recovery folder?
