    my recordings are saved on a NAS
    Direct recording to the NAS, or record to SSD/HDD then copy to NAS?


    is in an recommondation to use a RAM disk instead for the timeshifting part?
    I'd use RAM disk instead of SSD if there is no regular HDD available.

    Direct recording to NAS (tvservice user changed from local system to a named NAS user).

    I use ramdisk to decrase SSD's write cycle.

    In my setup:

    SSD for the OS+MP
    ramdisk (2GB for timeshift)
    NAS for recordings

    with wich product you setup the ramdisk?
    whats the total amount of memory you got in your system?

    on wich parameter does the size of the ramdisk depend? (how many tuners for example?)

    Direct recording to the NAS, or record to SSD/HDD then copy to NAS?

    Direct recordings (working fine)

    ok thnx now gonna concentrate how to setup a correct sized ramdisk

    full ram 4GB, 2GB for ramdisk. (superspeed ramdisk plus 10)

    I have 2 toners (1 analog, 1 dvb-t).

    Hi there,

    RAM Drive for Timeshift too - 6GB (soon to be 8GB)
    SSD for OS & MePo
    HDD for recordings and other content

    Works a treat - nice and snappy :D

    I have used several configs for NAS, my latest is based on AMD Zacate E-350 and was dirt cheap. Fitted it with 4 x 1,5 TB internal drives and a 1,5 USB drive for backup of critical stuff. It has 8 GB DDR3 RAM. I use an external powerbrick with a 120W PicoPSU.

    this is so confusing.

    im assuming a NAS operates without a graphics card so it has a web interface... so it doesnt run windows OS at all?

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution.

Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...

    First thing to say is that I use MP1, whereas I believe that you use MP2. @ge2301 has just posted that MP2 has a "folder view" in addition to the "library view", so you should be able to set up your system as I describe below, but the details will differ. In MP1, the folders that are to appear on the "Videos" panel are defined in "MP...

    Due to the recent update in FanartHandler and using dynamic paths for the ClearArt, ClearLogo and CDArt this is resolved without the need to update MovingPictures Cornerstone.MP.Extensions as FH no longer uses #selecteditem and instead uses #MovingPictures.SelectedMovie.title. At the moment MePo theme has these values but I plan to...
