Recordings not being saved on network drive

[Jakesty]

I'm trying to record from NPVR and save the file to another computer. Local recordings appear to be just fine. The folder has group rights of "EVERYONE" having full control. I can copy and paste a recording to my external system without a problem though.
From the nrecord log the following is happening...

what am I missing? Thanks for your help, Jake

The NextPVR Recording Service runs using a Service account and you are not the first to have troubles with network drives. You could try changing the account of the service to the same account as your logon account. Or ... the Sharehelper utility might help ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...Helper2.7z

The NextPVR Recording Service runs using a Service account

Just to expand on this... The NextPVR recording service runs as a different user account, so doesn't see any drive mapping you've made under your account. As Graham indicated, you can either change recording service to run as your account, or use a UNC recording path (\\server\share name) instead of a drive mapping (M:\).
