Disk full error

[greg in kansas]

Last night recording stopped with disk full errors.   I have 4 drives setup as recording drives?  First time I have had this happen.

Thanks for looking

"have spread enabled"

I can not find this setting? All the drives are on the computer.

Thanks GC

It is a config.xml setting.

I assumed when I added recording directory's in the gui it would use all of them. What do I change this to.

thanks

I found this "spread" in a old copy do you think this is sill right? I am sure I did not change this and found no documents for it.

Thanks

From the v4 wiki

NextPVR stores most of its configuration settings in a config.xml file which can be found in the data directory. Advanced users can open the file in notepad to tweak the configuration, and to access settings that aren't available from the Settings dialog. ]

The setting you want is not well documented but you had it set before https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid539819 you must have reinstalled. The setting is here and it is case specific.

Code:

<DefaultDirectoryChoice>spread</DefaultDirectoryChoice>

Yes you are right. Our old computer died this fall and this is a new one. So we upgraded the computer all new stuff. But are getting crashes still now and then. But Kay is able to restart the client with the remote so its working for now.

I am not sure what is crashing, but your server was up for almost 2 months continuously and exited cleanly.

If you want a more stable client consider Kodi.
