Hi there,
Just upgraded to 1.2.9 and at the same time, unwrapped my new NAS device (buffalo linkstation). I've got a shared folder set up on my NAS to dump media to, and I was hoping I could use it directly for my PVR recordings. Seems I have a problem when the Recording Service tries to initiate the recording:

2008-03-10 21:40:15.570 ERROR [5] Error starting recording: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'S:\video\PVR Recordings\Midsomer Murders'.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, DirectorySecurity dirSecurity)
at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path, DirectorySecurity directorySecurity)
at GBPVR.RecordingService.x93f60a55016d55c4.xaf0c8a8cd1d45e20(ScheduledRecording xe41d2b9d98dc1269)
at GBPVR.RecordingService.x93f60a55016d55c4.xcba1f05fb5a46d5f()

FYI - in path above, \\192.168.2.200\share is mapped to S:\

Does anybody know if you can use a mapped drive for the recordings directory? If so, is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks,
Todd

The recording service runs as a different user account, so it wont see mapped drivers you've made under your account. You'd either have to use a UNC path, or change the recording service to run under your user account.

Have you given write permissions to the share?
(and do you run the recording service as a local account, or something else (in which case, do these have write access too?)

i tried a cute fix the other day, make a menu cmd that runs a batch file that maps your drives..Big Grin
this way it's run under whatever account you use for rec. service..[as child process]
so best of both worlds..Big Grin interact with desktop, and mapped drives same time!

i used to have it autorun from config.xml but don't think that works anymore..
[only did on gbpvr.exe]

just wanted to put that out there..

Thanks for the responses all,
UNC path did the trick!

Cheers
