Hello
I have had my box to store recordings on a shared network drive. That way I could see the recorded files to other devices on the network.
However I could not put HD channels on pause, or record, so now I have put a hard drive in my DM800 clone. It works perfectly, but how can I mount the hard drive so I can see it from the network and access the files on the hard drive?
There are a number of ways you can do it, depending on what Operating System you are trying to access the hard disk with and how you are trying to access the hard disk.
If you simply want to copy recordings to or from the hard disk you could just FTP to your DM800 and do it that way.
If you want to be able to access them directly over the network, i.e via a shared drive then you need to set up a Samba share on your DM800, assuming the image you are using supports this. I am running one of the latest build of Vix Apollo on my Vu Duo and I have the option for setting up a Samba share in: Menu-->Setup-->System-->Network-->Samba setup
Once set up you should be able to simply map a network drive as normal in Windows to \\ip-of-dm800\share name
If you're using Linux on your PC then you'd be better off configuring an NFS Share from your DM800. Again, assuming it supports this the option to do so should be somewhere in the menu near where the option to set up a Samba share is
Hello and thank you very much.
I want direct access from the network, so it is a Samba server I have to work with.
I have a wired LAN neværk in the house and all PCs running Win7
But I need Samba?
I downloads
Samba Mount 3.0.20
and
Samba Server 3.0.20
from Gemini-Server in the Blue menu, but nothing happens when I can not get in and create a setup.
