Correct format for the path to my Network Drive?

I'd like to setup the recording capabilities with TVHeadend and don't know the correct format to enter for the path to the folder where I want to store the r...

Now we've correctly mapped the network drive for recordings, I'd like to know how to do 'pausing Live TV' (timeshift).

I naively assumed it would be there once the recording facility was working, and can't find any settings for it either in TVheadend web control pages, or in Kodi.

There is a timeshift tab in the Tvheadend web interface.

I do not think timeshift is working properly. Hope someone will prove me wrong.

Thanks Ulrich - I hadnt seen that tab.

Pausing work OK - but as with the comment in that thread you linked to, fast forwarding doesn't work (e.g. speeding through the adverts after resuming after pause) which was the behaviour I'd expect, and it's very unstable after pausing even without fastforward or rewind; just pausing once and playing again will lead to crashing several minutes later!

But now I have another problem related to recordings - NO recordings are showing in the Kodi recordings tab - even though the recordings ARE correctly being recording onto the Network Drive. I've rebooted Kodi (on an OpenELEC system) but the recordings do not show up in the list.

Any ideas, on why the recording aren't showing?

Ulrich Buck

No idea why NO recordings are showing in the Kodi recordings tab.

Do you see your recordings in the Tvheadend web interface? Refer to https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/DVR_Log

If your recordings do not show up in the Tvheadend web interface Kodi will not be able to show them either.

GS Hodg

Yes I could see them in the backend web interface, but not in Kodi - despite several reboots. That's was the case for several days.

Now, recordings ARE showing in Kodi - and I've no idea what changed!

Thanks for replying.

I spent days getting this to work - omsc running on Raspi 2 with Network Hard drive connected to Netgear router no passwords on hard drives.

This worked to manually mount

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=<youruser>,password=<yourpassword>,sec=ntlmv2 //192.168.1.3/USB_Storage/recordedtv /home/osmc/recordedtv

to get to auto mount on boot using etc/fstab add following line to fstab

//192.168.1.3/USB_Storage/recordedtv /home/osmc/recordedtv cifs user=<yourusername>,password=<yourpassword>,sec=ntlmv2 0 0

Add to etc/rc.local this waits for network (tried _netdev didn't work for me)

sleep20

sudo mount -a

Hope this saves someone else days of frustration. :-)

This is then the path to the networked drives as they are now mounted to local directory.
