Recording to Network Drive

[ToH2002]

Hi,

I have tried - so far in vain - to record to a shared drive in my LAN (a NAS box with loads of filespace )

 

The advantage of this: make DVBViewer wake up the (specialised) recording machine, record the show and then fall asleep again (er, hibernate) until the next recording. After this, I can access the recorded file on any other machine on the network (especially my mediacenter PC in the living-room or my video editing machine in my studio).

 

Unfortunately, DVBViewer stubbornly refuses to record on to network drives, irrespective whether they are mounted as drive letters or addressed as UNC paths (\\server\folder\).

 

A workaround would be if DVBViewer allowed to set a custom action after each recording - in addition to the "do nothing", "shutdown", "hibernate" etc, just to allow "quit DVBViewer and run program". This would allow me to run a script that then moves the recording to the server and hibernates the machine afterwards. A bit clunky (doesn't allow me to access the file while it is being written, only afterwards), but better than nothing.

 

So, my question:

- could DVBViewer learn to write to network drives instead of only to local drives?

- is an option "run program after recording" possible?

 

Regards,

It does work on network drives. just tested it.

Correct - I just installed v4.0 and it does really work - even with UNC addressing! This capability must have slipped in in the recent releases (I was still on 3.9.2 on my recording machine)!

 

Great work - thanx!
