More than one recordings Directory

[mobiusnz]

I would quite like maybe 3 categories or something - IE a default records, a kids recordings etc - When you record a quick record always goes to the default library, but with the record option you can pick from more than one recordings folder - I save things for the kids on the C: drive (a 320) and normal recordings for us on the D: drive (400 gb) - At the moment I simply move the kids stuff after the fact and they use Video Library.

It would help for people with multiple drives (I don't want to stripe as more chance to lose data that way - although I may stripe with redundancy soon - I'm guessing the performance of a stripe may help when recording multiple HD channels at one time - about to update my four tuners to DVB-T when my seconds Nova-T 500 comes off backorder!).

I like this idea. 80% of my recordings are for my kids, so I always have to wade through them all to find shows for me to watch.

I think this has been a wishlist item for some time. I temporarily get round it by moving recordings to other drives/directories and tweaking the database.
Someone will probably popup and say there's a tool/plugin that automates this.

I'd like to add my 2 bits for this. I have a main drive that's only 80 GB, but a 300GB backup drive. I want to be able to move files from the one to the other without losing DB data, or at the very least, move 80->300, then 300->80 and recover the show information.

If anyone can tell me how to do that, it'd be great.

In Config, Plugins tab, hit the "Export recordings" button and then copy your \gbpvr\recordings-dump.xml over to 300 along with your backups. When restoring, use the "Import recordings" button and point to the backup file.

IIRC, if you want to access the recordings on the 300 you can do a find and replace on the recordings-dump.xml before importing to point it to the backup drive

Most Excellent! Although it'd be awesome to build this into PVR, this should certainly do for the meanwhile!
