Hello,
Is it possible to integration a function to switch the serverwmc-swapfile from server to a local usb device on the client?
All windows clients and android boxes have a big local memory or extendable with a usb-stick.
IMHO I think that the channel switch is a bit faster and the server working and network traffic will be take down.
Hi Heiko123,
I think I need more detail about what you want to do. If you are referring to virtual memory, isn't its location a windows setting?
What I want to do:
I want to do the live-tv switch a bit faster.
Actually when I watch live-tv, than create serverwmc a swapfile inside the recorded-directory and stream it to kodi.
My question is: Is it possibly to relocate the swapfile from Server to Client (usb-stick)?
Maybe, the benefit will be a stressless recorded-harddisk and a bit faster live-tv Switch.
If the swap files you are referring to are the temporary files that serverwmc creates in the tempswmc folder for a live stream. Then the answer is, the 'wtv' file has to be created in the recorded tv folder, this is a restriction by windows. The 'ts' file (the file that is actually getting streamed) can be located in any folder you choose so long as they are accessible by serverwmc. Edit the path to this folder by setting the path in the field: RemuxCustomFolderUNC
example:
<RemuxCustomFolderUNC>//mediaserver/RemuxFolder</RemuxCustomFolderUNC>
the rules for the path you specify are:
1) folder must exist and be writable by serverwmc
2) folder must be a UNC (network) path
3) folder must be shared with all clients that need to access it
what is the default Remux Folder that ServerWMC uses? thanks.
The TempSWMC folder that it creates in the windows Recorded TV folder.
Thanks. I've noticed occasional buffering on the client when I use an old fashioned hard disk. No such problems obviously when I've used it with a SSD.
