Recording to Mapped Drives?

[jigster99]

Hello,
I seem to be having trouble recording to mapped drives. I have a machine on the network where I would like to store my video. Is it possible to point the recordings directory to the mapped drive? (such as J:\)

I have moved video files over to the mapped drive and adjusted the database and config to point to the new drive location, but upon startup, gbpvr seems to delete the recording entry from the database. Also, when I go through the web client and look at the statistics page, It says "could not load info for J:" Does this mean I cant use the mapped drive? I am pretty confident its not a permissions issue, as everyone has full access to the shared drive... Any thoughts???

Thanks...

Try adding GBPVR.exe to the windows firewall exceptons list if you have XP, and the firewall is on.

Remember, the recording service runs as a different user account, so it wont see any of the drivers you have mapped under your normal user account.

Even when I change the RecordingService to run as my username, it still can not find information about the share. Is this not possible due to OS constraints on services accessing shared drives when you are not logged in (ie - when there isnt a drive mapped)?

I've never tested it, but you should be able to edit the config.xml and specify a UNC path instead.
