I'm still encountering the problem I raised in https://tvheadend.org/d/2369-dvr-sometimes-misses-recordings where tvheadend often fails to record a show. Onc...

Afraid I can’t help you on the lack of funds front. USB sticks are as cheap as chips these days. You could try reading this as an alternative though

The majority of issues in respect of recording destinations relate to incorrectly defined paths to destination.

Thanks for the link. It ought help with what I'm doing and trying to achieve.

I've got the path right (stats on dashboard reflect it) and I saw tvheadend was running as hts (though can be changed to root) so figured the issue was permissions, so I've been playing with specifying uid & gid etc. I've reverted back to the default recording dir for now but that link gives me more things to try :)

Right now, I'm getting a "No input source available for subscription" error and I've switched the debug log on to see what that's about. I'll get there...

Edit: you're right about the price of USB sticks though. Just had a look and blimey they're way cheaper than I remember a few years back (even here in France) You can get a bucket full of them from China for tuppence!!
