DM500 Direct recording with DK1 problem.

[perrin11]

With DW2, I was able to do direct recording to a PC shared folder. With DK1, the shared folder is mounted ok, but when I press the record button from the web interface I get error; Recording stopped due to full harddisk. The shared folder has 50GB free space!

Any ideas anyone?

the local directory should be /hdd/movie not /mnt

like this but change the mnt bit

Thanks for quick reply and pointing me in the right direction. It now works. Here's my experience; When I navigated to LocalDir /hdd/movie the green save option turned off. Telnet to /hdd and noticed there wasn't a movie directory. Created it. Made it read-write. LocalDir now allowed me to select /hdd/movie. Able to record, but now telnet shows the directory structure as /hdd/movie/movie. An extra dirctory had appeared. Deleted the lower level one and all is okay.

Thanks.

l was going to say just try /hhd because l can only use that option and it makes the movie folder on its own ? not sure how

the pvr-record folder must be set differently in the code of the two images,
if the image knows the pvr-record folder is /hdd,, so will only record to and from that folder.. its nothing major, just need to use the different mount point,,

I am pretty sure that the DK image has a /hdd/movie directory, extensive testing was done on the recording to make sure it worked.

There's a guide here...

Guys sorry to be a pain but this is driving me crackers. I am a novice with these boxes and this is the 1st time I have tried to record. Really appreciate some help.

I have followed the sticky thread and set up my box to record to pc. Checked the web interface and the mount seems fine - green tick beside it. Also get confirmatory message saying mount successful on tv.

I have set up under record path hdd/movie. My box under mounts is set to Localdir /hdd - there is a sub folder named "movies" but I cannot get the name to display in the Localdir (Smirnoff if I am reading the thread below correctly seems to have a similar issue but his works ok).

When i try to record i get a message "Record failed due to inaccessible storage". Seems to suggest the folder i created on my pc has a problem but cant think what - has plenty free space.

Read the thread below (along with everything else i could find via search)
