Multiple TV tuner setup in SageRecorder

[bboldschool]

Can someone give very specific instructions step by step on how to do this using Windows XP home for the SageRecorder module? There was some info on the process some time back..in this forum..but I never could get it to work..I need the dummies approach...

You need to copy the contents of the Sage Recorder folder where it is installed to another new folder, then start this second copy running, AT LEAST that is how it works when using Sage Recorder as a network encoder.

Most everyone fails on setting up sage recorder by not setting up their drive mappings correctly.

On the network encoder machine you need to have a drive that matches the the sage drive on your server (not sure if unc works yet, but ive seen information reflecting that it does)

Example:

server= sage1
sage folder=d:\mpg

network encoder=encoder1
sage folder must be=\\sage1\d$\mpg by UNC
or a mapped drive to \\sage\d$(net use d: \\sage\d$): and your network encoder would be set to d:\mpg

the other point of failure is that people dont copy the entire mmc/encoder section from the sage recorder properties file over to the server properties file and rename the encoder from whatever it is...e.g.: mmc/encoders/1539278643 to mmc/encoders/897564(whatever..as long as its not matching any other encoders number scheme)

you cant change any config files while any applications are running or the changes wont be saved...

Hope this helps!
