Recording Directory set to use USB drive

[Dale]

I use GB-PVR v 1.3.11 with Config -- Directories -- Recording Directory set to use a 500GB external USB drive.

When the external USB drive is not ON (not powered up) and thus not available, can GB-PVR still execute pending recordings? Is there a default alternative recording directory used, perhaps on C:\ drive somewhere within the program's directory?

I searched but did not find an answer so I set Config -- Directories -- Recording Directory back to use a C:\<directory> location and will have to frequently move recordings from C: to the external USB drive.

Any opinions?

No

No, you'll get a failed recording.

You really need to set you recording directory to somewhere that exists and is always accessible.
