Recording Path for Hard disk

[rizwan]

I am unable to change the recording path for my DM 800HD. I am using Gemini 5.0 image and have usb HDD. Any suggestion to resolve the issue ? By menu and under system there is recording path option, but its not working for me.

Re: Recording Path for Hard disk

you have to mount it first
and you must not have an internal hdd

mount the usb hdd using device manager (it should be under blue panel or you can use TSpanel) and then create a folder called 'movie' and then should be able to change recording path in system menu.

For dream 800 better way is one external hard drive with E_Sata conector after instal you must mount it from device manager .

It is already installed, mounted and have a movie folder in it but, something wrong.

A method I know that definitely works is by mounting the USB HDD as /media/hdd and not /media/usb .

See if your router settings are set correct, e.g. - is DHCP enabled? Does the dreambox have an assigned IP?

if you can't mount it here, you still have the possibility to try create a link

connect via ssh or telnet
and enter the following commands :

cd /mnt
ln -s /pathwhereyourUSBdiskIsLocate hdd

now you should be able to see the content of your USB Disk in /mnt/hdd

there is no issue for mounting the Disk, but a recording path only.

does it work when you mount it is as hdd?

because I mounted a USB Flash as USB and the recording path doesnt change, only option is hdd/movie
