Loading Local Video Files

[Syler]

Do you mean like this?

<filename>/home/syler/test/cat\ 2.mp4</filename>

That doesn't work.

[mvallevand]

That was my thought yes.

Are you sure the server account has access to that folder?

I needed a break, the file wasn't in the folder, don't ask



I still have a problem though which might be permissions as you suggested.



I can't add my drive with the videos files on it, as a Recording Directory in Settings

I also renamed the drive, with no spaces, to be sure.

I can access the location in the browser so is there something I need to change in the NextPVR configurations to access that location?

[mvallevand]

Not sure which platform you are using but if it is linux with the deb installer read this https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid524823

I still can't access my video files in /media, I have changed the permission as suggested, I have even made NextPVR the owner but still not working. Any ideas?

I carried on creating the tool anyway and have now got it working how I like, although there are still some things I want to add.

I have nearly completed an integrated version, I just have a few little bits to finish. I just tested it with > 4000 files and it successfully imported them, I want to delete them all now though, is there a way to delete them in bulk?

[mvallevand]

Sqlite3 npvr.db3

delete from scheduled_recordings

[Syler]

Great, that did the job, thanks Martin.

Couldn't this be implemented in the UI, it's seems easy enough? Can I run python files on the server?

[mvallevand]

I feel it would be a ridiculous command to have on a server. I can run python on all my servers including Docker.
