Hi to all i want to configure my samygo extension for allowing the record over samba share, in the wiki and on forum there are a lot of info by remy and kayaweed but nothing about this things.
The info aare only available for nfs share but because my windows seven haven't nfs services and hanewin is not opensource i want to recorder over my samba share.
I think that i have to create a pvrimage with xfs filesystem mount it and share it and then configuring one script for do all operations.
Could someone help me?
If i achieve this point then i update the wiki becuase a lot of people want to do this things.

You do not have to mess with samba. You can start nfs server on windows 7 as service or find key for your hanewin nfs server. Nfs server - less troubles and better performance.

That is what I do
I create one share folder "PVR" on windows and share it on Home Group
then i mount it as Samba share
Code: Select all
mount -o user=<username>,password=<password> -t cifs //<server>/<share> /dtv/usb/sdXX/[mount_path]
where sdXX is the vusb
I create under linux the pvrimage
with the following command
Code: Select all
mkfs.xfs -f -d file,name=pvrimage,size=1536m
I mount the image:
Code: Select all
mount -t xfs -o loop pvrimage <MOUNT POINT>
I create the empty file .PlaceHolderDO-NOT-REMOVE:
touch <MOUNT POINT>/.PlaceHolderDO-NOT-REMOVE
Then i copy this image to SamyGO folder
I try to record but without success so i copy on the second virtual usb the file NewBoard4Rpsp.inf and the .PVRPfmChkLog
i press rec button and it's done I am able to record on cifs share withouth lag or freeze and my tv is connect to my pc via wifi.
DONE.
So people is possible to record over cifs share withouth using hanewin or nfs share.

Hi Tempinbox
Congratulations on getting this working.
I'm trying to follow your steps to record on a samba share but I'm a little lost.
Code: Select all
mount -o user=<username>,password=<password> -t cifs //<server>/<share> /dtv/usb/sdXX/[mount_path]
sdXX/[mount_path] is the mount path of pvrimage? Or samba share?
I take it I add this line to my run.sh?
Also
I try to record but without success so i copy on the second virtual usb the file NewBoard4Rpsp.inf and the .PVRPfmChkLog
Where do i get these files from and how do i copy onto the second vusb?
I have been able to follow the rest of the steps.
Thanks in advance
