Video Delay

When a encrypted channel stops and resumes again, the time shift gets disrupted and corrupted. Please maintain the time shift even if the channel stops, in other words, make the time shift independent of the channel's interruptions. thanks alot

That is NOT possible. Not for FreeTV, and not for PayTV. If there is an interruption in the stream continuity, the recorded datas are not longer valid, but corrupt.

It works in other devices,But it uses another time-shift technique

Good morning, everyone! ❤️

Today, I will talk about the differences between Video Delay and Time Shift, and which one is better for you.

The idea emerged after converting the Arabic sports package to secure encryption before the 2014 World Cup.

At that time, Time Shift was introduced, and you needed an external memory to record the content you were watching, with a delay of a certain number of seconds.

The audio source was obtained from external programs, with the most famous being Mixlr with Radio Ashraf.

We continued with this setup until 2017 when the Echon device was introduced, which offered integrated audio and internal Video Delay.

Now, you don't need a storage flash drive or external audio software.

The first company to introduce audio and Video Delay on Sunplus devices was Senator, as they are always pioneers in anything new.

In October 2018, a major leap in this feature occurred in devices that were then called "BeoutQ receivers".

If you've been following this evolution, you'll know how much progress has been made over the years.

It started with just 2.5 seconds of Video Delay and gradually increased to 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, and finally 60 seconds.

In September 2022, the second leap in developing this feature occurred with the addition of Smart Video Delay, and as usual, Senator was the first to add this feature to gx and Sunplus devices.

After a short period, the development of Audio Delay was completed. Now, the audio can be delayed, not just the video.

Can you imagine that expensive Enigma devices still don't have Video Delay and are still working with external Time Shift? 😁

Now, let's get back to the main topic of this post, which is the difference between Time Shift and Video Delay.

The most important difference is that Video Delay relies on RAM for recording content. Since RAM is much faster than flash memory, the read and write operations are faster, resulting in a smoother and more accurate performance.

The second difference is that Video Delay allows you to predefine the number of seconds for the delay from the beginning, and it automatically reaches that delay. This has many advantages, such as automatically going back to the delay time if the channel's encryption is interrupted or if the signal weakens for a second. You won't need to readjust the time again.

The third difference is that Video Delay is easier to adjust the timing, whether it's delaying or advancing by half a second. And with the development of Smart Video Delay, it has become even easier.

On the other hand, Time Shift relies on an external flash drive, which makes it less smooth and accurate. It is affected by server quality. If the decryption is interrupted for a second and resumes, the Time Shift will reset, and you will need to readjust it from the beginning. The same applies if the signal is lost and then returns. You will need to do the same procedure.

With Video Delay, you can pause and play with the desired number of seconds, which allows for easier timing adjustments and smoother movement between seconds forward and backward. It provides greater accuracy.

However, the almost sole advantage of Time Shift is that you are not limited by the RAM size of your device since it is not dependent on it. You can increase the delay time even if your device has only half a gigabyte of RAM. It also benefits you if your device has 1 gigabyte of RAM when it comes to Polsat channels and feeds.

Naturally, Video Delay is better than Time Shift because it represents an improvement in the feature, making the user experience easier and better for watching.

Thank you very much, and enjoy watching! That's how it works on device called senator with gx processor which it is very weak as it compared with enigma2 (hisilicon processor)

Using time shift for video delay is the complete wrong direction. There will be a video delay feature in the future. Please wait.

Thanks alot
