NextPVR, HDHomeRun recording to a network location

[psycik]

Hi

I'm back, been floating but haven;t had a system for the past 3 months on account of moving. So in the mean time I've purchased a HDHomeRun to virtualise a netpvr machine. With local folders I had it working last night.

But I'd like to record (and send live tv cache) to a network location.

I remember all the usual tricks - set the NPVR service to a local user, that user is an admin, the destination share has that same user with full control.

I also tried setting the HDHomeRun service to the same user.

But any attempt to start a recording no file is created.

What have I missed? There's nothing in the event logs (auditing or otherwise) of either machine and the nextpvr logs just says in ndigitialhost that File size is 0 bytes (non existant). Channel is locked with signal.

NRecord complains about an invalid file passed at the network location - and gets a error saving the metadata, but doesn't give a hint why (doesn't exist, permissions etc).

Nothing springs to mind, other than permissions, but if you want to post the logs, I can see if anything else stands out.

Also firewall is off (did that to get live working)

Logs attached.

You should be able to see for live tv I set it back to local and started a stream successfully.

Is G: drive mapped? I'd try \\IP\sharename notation.

Oh that sounds familiar....

[psycik]

That was it. Now that I've done it I remembered it never like mapped drives. Only UNC paths.


Thanks guys.

So I got it going....but found it a bit hit and miss. Found the recording would start, but not generate anything more often that not. I think I've cracked it now though, I turned off the out of process recording and it seems a little more stable.

Martin, I see you record do a NAS - did you strike this problem?

Not really but I record to guest shares to avoid Windows permission issues, use IP not hostname to avoid Windows master browser issues. I did add a dir \\ip\sharename to the wakeup batch file because I found Windows slow on reconnecting after wakeup.

But you've got out of process recordings turned on?
