Hi all, sorry to repeat this. I added it to the sticky about setting up recording but hadn't had a reply after a few days, so thought I'd maybe put it in the wrong place. Below is my original message.

Hi, I've just installed the DK image & things seem to be going well so far, but I'm having a problem with setting up recording.

When trying to create the mount, I get to local dir, press OK to set it & get a file explorer. I can browse to /hdd, which shows 1 directory called movie and I have the green button listed as save. If I go into movie, the option to save with green disappears. So, I can only set the local dir to /hdd, it won't change to /hdd/movie as it refuses to save when I'm in there.

I thought if there was something in movie, I'd be OK but I can't create a dir in telnet as it tells me it's a read-only filesystem.

I guess this gets created in a text config somewhere? If I could edit that, I could just change /hdd to /hdd/movie.

** this bit added later **

Just to add to this, I managed to get it mounted using Curious123's suggestion of the web interface here:

When I go into the mount menu on the Dreambox though, I can't see this mount. To mount the PC shared drive, I have to go to the PC, fire up the web interface & mount it that way, so this is only a temporary solution. The web interface doesn't see my failed settings either, even though I saved them.

The web interface is the best way to add mounts. It doesn't matter if it doesn't show in the tv menu, as long as there's a green tick on the web interface you'll be ok.

If you go to file mode and select hard disk you should see what's in your shared folder. Put an mpeg movie in the shared folder on your PC (it won't read avi) and it should show up when you select hard disk in file mode.
