forced_video_storage_path_prefix - Is it possible to set local and UNC path?

[zzmystique]

Each tuner in my system has a dedicted directory to record to, Is it possible to use

mmc/encoders/<tuner id>/forced_video_storage_path_prefix=

to set a primary UNC path and a local path (ie d:\recording) if for some reason the network path is not available?

I have already tried:-

mmc/encoders/<tunerid>/forced_video_storage_path_prefix=\\\\servername\\share;d\:\\recordings

but it does not work. The sage service fails to start.

Thanks

That property can only have a single prefix value. The only way to have it apply to multiple locations would be if those locations all started with the given prefix.

Andy - Could you give me an example prefix please?

Thanks

An example prefix would be the first however many characters you want to use from some path(s) on the seeker/video_storage property. To use your example from the first post:

mmc/encoders/<tunerid>/forced_video_storage_path_prefix=\\\\server

... should match any recording path starting with "\\\\server".

And, just to make sure, <tunerid> is some exsiting number in your sage.properties file.
