System configuration items and variables

System configuration items and variables are provided by the Information Service. Each configuration item or variable is represented by a specific information object and all objects managed by the Information Service are organized in the common Information Service storage structure. The information objects representing system information are no exceptions to this rule.

When this value is greater than "0", the storage disk partition is getting full and time-shift buffer can't allocate needed disk space to reach configured values. This can happen when migrating from a fully populated storage device containing legacy (ie KreaTV 3.8 and older) DVR and time-shift files. The ratio between this figure and const.media.timeshiftbuffer.configsize can be used by the application to get a value of the reduced time-shift capacity. Type:
