Hi,

I am trying to record to a network shared drive but could not get it to work. Here is the error log:

2008-05-28 10:38:08.028 INFO [5] Found new programme requiring recording: Frasier

2008-05-28 10:38:08.357 VERBOSE [5] Save(): Updated existing scheduled recording

Drive Z is a network mapped drive. If I config it to a local drive (such as C), it works flawlessly. Can GBPVR recording service record to a non-local drive? I don't see why it can't.


Best Regards,
Qiu

The recording service runs as a different user account so its not going to have the same drive mappings. You can try a UNC path instead. ie \\servername\sharename

Personally I prefer to stick with recording to local drives, but if you really want to record to a network drive, you probably also need to set <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>false</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> in config.xml

Just wanted to add, I had it working with a slightly different configuration. I had a network shared drive which worked just fine until the time where I lost power and the GBPVR machine came up before the network drive came online.

GBPVR removed the items from it's database, but the mpeg files were still there when the network drive came back online.

Since then I just invested in a really large drive, which was fairly cheap and put all my recordings on that.

Yep, thats exactly what the setting I mentioned above is to prevent.

I have tried UNC path as well. No luck. Is there anyway this can be done?
I have a file server that holds all the files in the house. I have one dedicated machine does TV recording and most of the time it is asleep. It just wakes up, does the recording and goes back to sleep. So I want the files to be on the file server so it is accessible all the time.

Open the share up for full control for everyone.

As mmatheny says above, its most likely related to permissions. If you post the logs we should be able to tell for sure.

Some others record to a network share. Its definitely possible.

Thanks. I tried disable simple sharing under XP and grant full control to Everyone. Still getting access denied error. I am sure it is a permission issue, but don't know why it is happening. Can someone think of anything that I might be missing?

If you cant work out the share permissions, then try changing the recording service to start under your account instead of the 'localsystem' account.
