Record PVR to NAS (NFS)

[zoelechat]

How can I block this recording on the attached usb-drive, which is the only choosable recording device in the tv's menu.

Using PVRtoTS, you can't. Only workaround is to automatically delete original encrypted recording once it's finished. It means you need usb drive large enough to be used at least for "buffer" of current recording. For this, add that line just before "exit 0" line in ts2filename script:

Code: Select all

rm -f ${INF_DEV}/CONTENTS/${IN_NOEXT}.* 

It will cleanup usb drive when recording ends, ready for next one

o.k. then. Is it otherwise (with disabling 'PVRtoTS') possible - perhaps with alteration / disabling of the other applied scripts - 'PVRToAnyDev' and / or 'pvr_to_nfs' - to set an recording device as a network drive (perhaps also in the menu of the tv) including decryption in one video file and this is then the only one? Or am I thinking wrong in this steps, perhaps because your mentioned "buffer" must always be present on an tv-attached usb drive? Could this buffer also be on a separate location on the connected network or is the time of recording and decrypting the here critical point?
Is it ever possible to record to an network drive without an tv-attached usb recording device (except the samgo boot stick, which is always in)?
Last question beside the above ones (and if it is then still neccessary):
I've read in this forum about a 'CONTENTS'-folder, which should be present so that the tv recognizes it as a device able and choosable for recording?

I'm heading up for always recording (using the tv's guide menu with adapted pre/post timings) to an always connected network drive (linux samba server, two great harddisks), which is per lan connected to an always on fritzbox.

Could you please shortly answer to all above points of me, because I don't yet know exactly, which scripts and programmings to use and not to use (or to diable) for my prupose?
