Network drive question

[silver217]

I changed the recordings directory, to a network shared disk.
Is that possible ? I get än "äccess denied" error.
Or is there a problem with the share that I should dig into.
It works fine with a local disk.

this is in the log:

Stating obvious, it looks like it doesnt have the permissions to write to that share.

thanks for your quick reply.
I checked that: I can copy a text file into the recordingsdirectory
on the other computer in my network.
Should I give the GB-PVR recording service permission to write to
that location ? How do I do that then ?
I have two computers with each a GB-PVR on it. I like to have only
one disk with all the recordings.
I have two because one is totally claimed by my wife.

Remember the recording service runs as a different user account than your desktop account, so copying a file into that share isnt a good test.

You could try changing the recording service to run as your user account.
