Can´t record in HDD

    I don´t know whats happening. I have the HDD mounted properly, but i can´t record anything there.


    It gave me the message "Unconfigured storage devices found" , but i don´t know how could i do it.


    I trying set the device as device by default in recordings but it don´t give the chance to change it.


    Any thoughts?

    You have to add the harddisk in the device manager (settings > devices > storage devices). It has to be formatted as EXT3 or EXT4. After it was successfully mounted it must have a folder movie (/media/hdd/movie). Only if everything is successful recording will be enabled. You can check via telnet with the command mount whether the harddisk is mounted.

    I think is mounted but i think i don´t have this folder. How can i create it? Via PC? What´s the entire path?


    I´ve check in file explorer but i can´t see the device folders

    you have to login via telnet (e.g. putty.org -> putty). first, you check whether the hdd is mounted with mount. If you see the hard disk, you can navigate to the mount by entering cd /media/hdd. last command is mkdir movie

    Ignorinig error messages is never a good idea. Why don't you try to format with help of the device manager? Even if everything would be fine you still couldn't create a folder because you try /hdd instead of /media/hdd


    I also think that the recording feature will only get enabled when you use the device manager

    I´ve formated several times in etx3 and ext4 and when i try to add in database manager it turn off because of error.


    It doesn´t seem good. Anycase thanks a lot.

    which image are you using ???


    /dev/ide... are device files from dm7025 which is almost 15 years too late.

    Do you really have a DM900 or DM920? As gutemine mentioned the commands are completely wrong for current boxes.


    There's not been a Gemini Image for years.

    Looks like he uses an old DCC Version which is not even for enigma2 boxes, and DCC was never adapted for DreamOS either, hence it is more or less useless.
