Hi all,
I'm using my (always-on) Linux-box as recording engine and fileserver for MediaPortal. So, my MP-Box has no "local" picture-, video- or music-files.
Driving MP in a client/server environment, I have a few questions :
1. ) I haven't found a reference for defining a directory for "My recordings". I just want to use MCE's "my recordings" button ... Where can I define the (network-) path to the directory? Maybe I can't cause I haven't installed a TV card?
2.) Watching recordings in timeshift mode.... . MP doesn't recognize changing the duration/file size. So, if i start a recording at 20.00h on my Linux-box, start watching at 20.20h in MP, viewing stops at 20.40h, although recording is still active .... . IS there any workaround? VLC is able to display mpeg2-file til end of recording... .
3.) Is there a "EPGviewonly" Plugin available? I just want to minimize startup time. Currently, I have to load the whole "my TV" module?
4.) at first time access to my videos,pictures, music, the screens get dark and MP is jumping back to main menu after a few seconds. Second access to modules works just fine. I've tried both ways to get network resources allocted to MP:
- net use x: \\server\share before MP-startup
- defining folders like \\server\share in MP-configuration
Both lead me up in a dark screen at first time access to folders.
... all other functions just work perfect , GREAT WORK!
Thx for your help
