[VU+ Solo] Correct Recording Locations

[thejoker]

I am after the correct recording/timeshift locations for a vu solo running VIX 2.4. For media/usb and media/hdd

Is it


default movie location - /media/usb
Timer record location - default
Instant record location - default
Timeshift location - /media/usb

Or


default movie location - /media/usb/movie
Timer record location - default
Instant record location - default
Timeshift location - /media/usb/movie

And for hdd do you just replace usb with hdd...?

You can use any location (and folder) you want, as long as the format is Ext 2/3/4

I read somewhere you need to create a subfolder called movie, whats the significance of that...

 

[Rob van der Does]

Indeed a folder 'movie' must exist in order to make recordings.

 

[thejoker]

Whats the significance of this folder?

Whenever I make a recording and i click the button next to the menu button to view recordings, the recorded files are in the same folder as epg.dat and other files. How do I get the recordings to have their own unique folder and when you press that button beside menu button to go to that specific folder...

the default record location in /hdd/movie and is set in menu>setup>system>recording settings, if you do not have a movie folder on your hdd it will record to the root of the drive which is why you can see the epg.dat and everything else

I am a new user of VU+ Duo. Can someone please instruct how to get timeshift and recording on HDD configured. Preferably with screenshots.

create folder media/hdd/movie
create folder media/hdd/movie/.Trash
create folder media/hdd/timeshift

change settings accordingly

OR

if it's all messed up now is the time to flash OpenVIX 3.0 and reinitialize harddisk. Leave the default settings and start recording
