So, some of you know I lost a drive recently. My recordings drive.
I was able to switch over to my main OS drive temporarily, but I missed some recordings until I did.
Could we get an option to have a failover location (or two) where GBPVR will record if it can't get to our main recordings folder?
I know the database comes into play, but for failsafe measures, I think we'd be able to live with the recording going into the alternate location while the database still has the entry as if it's in the main location.
(For my purposes, I made a new share with the same name as the original/main share, and now am copying the files to the new drive which will have the share name. The database won't know where the files really reside as long as the share path doesn't change.)
