X-NEWA UNC Path?

[smajor]

Does X-NEWA support UNC paths in recordings?

I made two changes to my setup. 1) different IP address and 2) a UNC path to a network share for recordings as opposed to a local drive. Since then X-NEWA tells me that it is "Unable to load X-NEWA Data."

I'm able to connect to the new IP with the NPVR web interface and the NPVR Kodi plugin works fine.

Thanks for any hints. If it does support UNC, I'll grab some logs.

For recordings it should yes. I don''t know that message though, perhaps you have entered the ip of your server wrong

Sorry, "Unable to load NEWA data." Definitely the correct IP.

I did also do an export and import of recordings since the path had changed for my existing one.

Attached is the log if you care to have a peek.

Could you send the output from your server

http://localhost:8866/public/services/InfoXML.aspx

That looks like one or your extended directories is invalid.

Ah, yes! Thank you! When I moved those recordings and changed the paths in the recordings-backup, the replace didn't get one at the top of the file, I must have not had the editor "wrap" on the find. I reimported, and since the old file path was still valid, it got imported right along with the others. I removed the path to the old store and I guess from all the above it really didn't like that. A quick edit and reimport and it's working fine. Thanks again and Happy New Year.

Great glad you found it, Happy New Year to you too.
