Was going to do the 16gb and use adoptive storage...but from your advice, I went with the internal SSD version. Adopting storage though better than nothing will slow the drive speed due to encryption. 500 gb will be enough to record without to much worry. And a micro sd ( i have a 400gb one) or a 2 TB portable storage will serve as further offloading storage to release space on the internal drive. An automated synching app to move the files from internal to external should do the rest. With the Shield Plex server hosting, it will also make it easy to record on the Shield but watch on on other TV in the house or even over the internet at occasion.(2018-09-13, 09:31)nashnash Wrote:You probably haven't picked the right ffmpeg.
Turn on
Settings \ Debug \ Debug ffmpeg stdout/stderr
and have a look for files like
userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\jobs\b7ac83cf-af49-11e8-b686-e0b9a545f00a.py.stderr.txt
If you get one it means ffmpeg ran and you can look in there for some clues why if failed.
I'm using armeabi-v7a from
https://github.com/WritingMinds/ffmpeg-a...naries.zip
on my Shield.
I don't know if it's the best one but it works.
If you're going to get a Shield I would probably recommend the one with the internal hard disk for recording.
I've got the one with only 16gb of memory so I do my recording to a windows share on my server.
I tried using a big external usb drive but the shield has a really hard time with the i/o. Not recommended.
I've added a small sdcard in as adoptable storage but that won't hold many recordings.
Will report as soon as I get it set up...thx very much.
