Multiple recording locations....

[chancer740]

I think it would be great if GBPVR were able to record shows to various folders. In other words, I would like to be able to specify two or more folders to record to in the config program and then when I go to select the show to record from the EPG , I can select the folder to record to from a drop down or use a check box/radio button. I record grown up shows to a "recorded TV" folder and then watch them from an xbox. Problem is that the shows we record for the kids are in the same directory. I dont want them to see something they do not need to see. If I could specify a different location to record the show to using the EPG, then I would not have to go copy them to the other directory every day. I love GBPVR though. It has made our lives easy and allowed me to more closely control what my kids watch. Thanks for all your work. What do you thing about this suggestion?

What do you thing about this suggestion?

We've had the suggestion a few times in the past. I'm ok with doing something like this, but its relatively low on my priority list so I havnt got to it yet. It'll probably be implemented some time in the future.

This is something that sounds like a great idea - but it would have to be easy, otherwise I am not sure how much I much actually use it. I too am getting to the stage that I need to start thinking about separating young kids content from not so kids content. Different directories is one obvious approach.

As a work around you might be able to set the "simple archiver" that uses the transcode function. To do this you would create a profile for the alternate location(s) in your config.xml trancode settings and then, when setting the program to record select 'transcode' and pick your archive profile.

I assume this would work - provided you are not using dvr-ms (hint ) which currently breaks down when transcoding to anything/anywhere except mpg.



EDIT: to be clear this workaround is an automatic 'move' with a database update - so it sill initially records to the default directory.

Although I would much prefer the real thing, this may tide me over until that day comes. Thanks much!

Sub, I'd like to add my weight to this..... Thanks
