[GiGaBlue UHD UE 4K] Folder location

[Robgh]

What type of support thread are you creating?

Support question

What OpenViX Image build number are you using?

6.9.003

Have you tried re-flashing WITHOUT settings restore?

NO

Have you tried re-flashing WITH a settings restore?

NO

This is not really a support question but I wasn't sure which group to post this.

A bit of a silly question I suppose, but which disk or where is the correct location for the following folders:
movie, backups, timeshift and trash.

I ask because I have a problem with the internal seagate 500Gb disk, or so OpenVix reports that when I check the filesystem.
I also have a Samsung 128Gb external disk attached by USB3 cable, and the said folders are now on that disk, which I thought was strange.
I have now ordered a new Kingston 500Gb ssd disk to replace the Seagate ssd, and want to be sure of what to do before I install it in the box.
Also should the new disk be formatted ext4. or something else.

Thanks, and again, apologies if it is in the wrong section,

Blue button ---> ViX plugin---> MountManager ........ check the correct disk is mounted as HDD
Blue button ---> ViX plugin--->BackupManager --- > Menu button, check using HDD for backups.
Blue button ---> ViX plugin--->ImageManager --- > Menu button, check using HDD for images.
Trash etc should get allocated to teh HDD

Format new disk as Ext4

Thanks for that, but just so I am 100% sure, do I have to move or copy the said folders from the 128Gb samsung ssd to the 500Gb kingston ssd first.
I have never had to do something like before, only on computers

Select 'ViX Image Management'.

Select 'ViX Image Management'.

Ok thanks.
Just one other thing, I have now got a file called epg.dat on the samsung 128Gb external disc, should I move that onto the new internal disk with the other folders etc.
I've never seen that file on the external disc before, as I use that disc to transfer recordings from the internal disc to the external disc, then edit the .ts files

Which location you have defined it ?

Main MENU -> Settings -> EPG -> EPG settings -> EPG location

I haven't yet as I am waiting for the new disc to arrive today. Out of interest where should the location of it be

 

[Orlandox]

I have picons, EPG and timeshift on USB stick. Debug log is at SSD drive.

I ended up storing the epg in the default location: Internal flash.

Select 'ViX Image Management'.

I selected ViX image management and initialised the new 480Gb disc.

That's not a good place to store the epg.dat file. Depending on your use of satellite/terrestrial and IPTV providers, it could end up using a lot of flash. It's better stored on disk (HDD or SSD or USB thumb drive). The epg.dat is loaded into RAM at startup, is accessed from there, and is not written back to disk until shutdown or timed backup.

Thanks, I changed it to hdd instead now
