Dear all,
despite the fact that I used the search function and Google intensively, I haven't found an answer to my question yet: how can I specify the Timeshift buffer path for the DVBViewer Addon (PVR-Client), using an existing folder (shared network path/directory)
I am using Kodi 15.0 Isengard with DVBViewer Client 1.9.24, DVBViewer Pro Recording Service 1.31.0.0 Beta (works properly, Win 7 Pro 64 SP1, TechniSat CableStar Combo HD CI, AzureWave Driver DTV USB TV-Box 7070).
Under "Settings > Advanced" one can enter a Timeshift buffer path, double click on the text "special://userdata/addon_data/pvr.dvbviewer". But this does not offer folders or directories for selecting one. Instead, you can create a new folder manually, but not every path will be accepted as expected:
1st example: D:\Users\Public\TVTimeShift
2nd example: \\<Computername>\Public\TVTimeShift (means an existing shared network directory/path)
The error message Pops up: <translated from German> "This path can't be created! Please ensure that the selected folder is not write-protected and the new path name is valid".
Please see also: GitHub PVR DVBViewer for Kodi Issue 3.
Please correct this bug as soon as possible..
In this case, the Addon "DVBViewer" for Kodi (PVR-Client) determines the time shift handling, especially the path to store the temporary time shift file. Meanwhile [as an alternative or workaround]: I'd like to use an existing path (shared network path/directory) on the local hard drive, which I have created for this purpose. How has the coding within the settings.xml to look like, for setting a path manually. I tried several variants, but they didn't work.
Many thanks in advance, and kind regards,
JoePeters
