Hello, i need some help mounting a networkfolder for recordingpath.
My knowledge in linux is poor, but i managed to create a folder in root called recordings. And now i want to point that folder to a networked one.
Or is it possible to point my recording path to a networked folder in Tvheadend?

Please help

You can't do it directly in tvheadend - you need to do it outside.

Is your network folder on a Linux or Windows (or OS X) PC ? i.e. is it NFS or Samba?

It's on a windows machine (Samba).

Then I think you're probably out of luck.

The kernel provided by TBS doesn't include Samba support, so you won't be able to mount Samba shares.

Unless you can do it yourself, you only really have two options - hope that TBS add Samba support in future releases of their software for the MOI, or hope that somebody else releases a "community" image with support for Samba.

Ok, thank you.
Guess i'll have to wait then. I'm not that skilled in linux

How can Linux share be added via NFS?

I am familiar with CIFS but not NFS, would you post example how this can be done ?

Better wait. I have kernel with samba support on one piece of MOI, but I didn't checked it on FW1.1, where are some changes with mounting process. Propably will be work with fstab as right.
But I think, new karnel has been out as soon...

Any news on this issue? I would like to mount a Windows NTFS-share as well, but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

Ok, I found a solution that I want to share:

1. On the Windows-PC install "haneWIN NFS Server ( http://www.hanewin.de/nfs-d.htm )
2. Rightklick the "NFS-Server" and select "start as administrator". Then got to "Exports" and edit the export-file. Insert the path to your Windows-folder where you want all recordings to be stored. Add "-public" behind it (to grant access to all machines in your network). Then close the file and press "restart the server".
3. Go to Windows-Firewall and enter new rule for incomming TCP and UDP-Access on Ports 111, 1058 and 2049 (haneWIN needs those ports)
4. Open "http://IP-of-your-TBS-MOI:9981" in your Browser (to access TVheadend). Under "Configuration / Recording" insert the follwing path for recordings: "/media/Recordings"
5. With WinSCP (or any similar Tool) SSH into the TBS MOI and edit the "etc\init.d\S99TVServer"-File. Below "#!/bin/sh" insert the following line:

mount -o nolock IP:/path /media/Recordings

(Where "IP" is the IP-Address of your Windows-PC and "path" gives the path to your designated recording-folder; don't forget the ":" behind the IP-Address!)

Restart the MOI through the webinterface.

That's it. The designated folder on your Windows-PC is mounted into the "media/Recordings"-folder on the MOI and all recordings will be stored on your Windows-PC.
