    Ignore me...I swear I pressed 'apply' but obviously not ;)


    Write permissions to the NAS directory weren't enabled correctly!



    Current issue - When I click into recorded files, it still shows /hdd/movie as the location....how do you update that to point to the new dir? Symbolic link?

    I've ordered a second Vu box so I thought its maybe time to take advantage of my NAS for shared recordings etc...


    I've mounted the share to /media/net (//networkaddress/movie) and can see the dummy file therein if I view via telnet on the Vu box,


    Problem is, when I change the recording path of 'default movie location' to /media/net/ and try and record a program it does nothing!


    I get a system message saying 'In order to record a timer, the TV was switched to the recording service!'


    No recording starts and my timer for said recording says 'waiting'


    If I change the recording path back to the internal HDD, it works fine...



    Anyone else using a NAS? Any tips? :haha:

    I think it just means 1 will definitely be fixed but 2 or more *may* be! (that's the way I read it anyway!!)


    I've ordered mine with 3xS2 so anything less will result in another NI civil war! :ah:


    Strange...At the Races is included in the News and Events pack (well it used to be...maybe its now in the Entertainment Extra pack?) but Racing UK is a premium channel (can't imagine who'd pay £20 a month right enough!!)


    what does your OSCam log say?


    What Sly package do you have?

    Jono,


    when the computer starts up and the bios posts you should be able to see the hard disk and its SMART status...it may say ok or something like degraded...


    If you just see a motherboard splash screen, hit tab to show the detail,


    once it gets by that screen and you have to choose the OS, as soon as you choose XP and hit enter, immediately start pressing F8 and tell me if you get another boot menu,


    if you do, try to go into safe mode or command prompt!



    Have you got a setup cd? You can also try running the recovery console -


    How to use the Recovery Console
    You can enable and disable services, format drives, read and write data on a local drive (including drives that are formatted to use the NTFS file system), and perform many other administrative tasks. The Recovery Console is very useful if you have to repair your computer by copying a file from a disk or CD-ROM to your hard disk, or if you have to reconfigure a service that is preventing your computer from starting correctly.


    If you cannot start your Windows, you can run the Recovery Console from the Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM.


    After Windows XP is installed on your computer, to start the computer and use the Recovery Console. The Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM are required.


    For more information about how to create Startup disks for Windows XP (they are not included with Windows XP), click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    310994 Obtaining Windows XP Setup boot disks
    Note To start the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM, you must configure the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer to start from your CD-ROM.


    To run the Recovery Console from the Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM, follow these steps:


    1. Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD drive, and then restart the computer.


    Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD drive if you are prompted.
    2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console.
    4. When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
    5. At the command prompt, type the appropriate commands to diagnose and repair your Windows XP installation.


    For a list of commands that are available in Recovery Console, type recovery console commands or help at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.


    For information about a specific command, type help commandname at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.
    6. To exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer, type exit at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.




    It doesn't sound like its totally lost since you at least get an OS boot menu...

    Jono,


    how far does the drive boot? ie. does it try to load windows and the blue screens and reboots?


    what OS is on the drive?


    Is it making a clicking noise?


    What is the S.M.A.R.T status of the drive?

    I normally just download an OSCam / CCcam bundle so, if I install CCcam 2.3.0 from the LS TS addons or manually upload cccam via ftp, what's the process for 'joining' the 2?


    edit - /usr/camscript/ has a script therein that notes the CCcam version....thats what I meant...all sorted now!


    Anyway...I replaced my current CCcam with the new one, edited the Ncam_Oscam6073_CCcam21.olf3.sh script with the right version of CCcam, rebooted and my locals weren't working...think I'll leave it for the minute...I hate 'testing' on a live box!!

    Try adding this to the end of the cline and see if it works { 0:0:2, 0963:C5CB } it worked for me blocking *** uk from another peer :C5CB is the boxnation part if it does not work yu can always delete it.


    Didn't work unfortunately! I commented out 5 peers C lines before I gave up finding one that would decode rofl...

    what exact did you set up? oscam its own, oscam&cccam?
    as many of auto cccam install script has these script where every night ccccam stop 3:56am to update etc.............
    follow this tut it should work as i do for me.
    How to: Oscam stop/start script + anti-crash monitor


    Must check that out myself cheers!


    edit - looks a bit more promising! I guess I'll see after a week!!


    Pos,


    I've been experimenting with 3 or 4 different scripts like this over the past week....none of them work unfortunately!! I haven't been able to check the one you are considering using as I only have a Vu+ box which doesn't (AFAIK?) have Curl installed...


    you just need to save the file in your script directory, give it 755 permissions and setup a cron job to run every x minutes...
