My dm7000 is beyond repair so I am stuck with dm500 for a while. I was just wondering if anyone can help on recording a stream to pc over nfs. Got this nfs server installed:

http://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.php?t=3544

and it is all fine, can have multiboot and add few images. But when I try recording from web interface I get message that it has failed due to inaccessible storage. Tried mounting the folder in communication setup but that didn't help.
Ngrab recording is working fine, but still I'd like to try it over nfs.

hope this helps you out rock

thanks to Dave Mak

first make a folder on your computer and call it something simple like dbox.
now open it and create a folder inside called movie.
now go back to the first folder (dbox),right click and select sharing and security, tick share this folder and allow users to write.





now on your DB
menu,settings, expert settings, communication settings, blue button(mounts)
IP - your pc's IP adress
Pull Down Box - CIFS
DIR - your shared folder on your PC
Local Dir - /mnt/hdd
Options - RW
Extra - should be filled already
User - dream
Pass - dream
press mount, if it worked tick automount then save.


if you are a 500 user you have to use a web browser and hit the record button on there or if you are using gemini, map the quickbutton to DVR

Cheers mate, that worked fine. Except I had to use /hdd as local dir instead of /mnt/hdd, so no need to use nfs server for this purpose I guess.
