Steps to move to new PC

Archive isn't automatic.

Documentation is a user responsibility and no one has stepped up since Graham gave us a the fantastic start. The feature was lightly document in v4 https://web.archive.org/web/201701261604...rdingpopup but it changed in v6 as on option under manage on the hidden menu screen in recordings.

Feel free to submit documentation updates for this feature and I will put it on the wiki.

I had no idea there was a hidden menu...

My familiarity with NextPVR is nowhere good enough to write documentation.  I can understand users creating documentation as features are added and the basic tenents are there, but how does a user even know how to use a feature without documentation?   To be honest, I find that out by doing a Google search, which often results in reading a post with the name "Martin" on it...  

I guess I wouldn't call Manage a hidden menu.  I knew it was there but had no idea that Archive would move a program from one drive to another AND make it accessible from within NextPVR.   To me, archive means pit it in a place where you cannot easily access it again without jumping through hoops.  I figured adding another recording directory might be the way, but have no idea what it does.

Of course I had no idea where the default location was. But I searched and found it, M drive root directory.  Now have to figure out where to change that.

Sorry I forgot. Archive is on the hidden menu (home key) and also on the Manage pop up. I use the hidden menu force of habit.
