Live TV save location and mounting networked hard drive

[Aaron_Spehr]

Solved in posted #2

Hi,

I have tried mounting a networked hard drive in OSMC via fstab

//10.1.1.19/data /mnt/data cifs nobrl,uid=1000,sec=ntlmv2,user=pi,pass=pass

however, when I do sudo “mount -a” the drive does not appear when I do df -h.

Also, where would the videos get saved if they are configured to save on the external

hard but and reported the hard drive is not mounting and TVHeadend is not reporting

the video recording failed.

Thanks,

Aaron

I suggest you check this fstab entry

Configuring fstab based Samba share mounts

This tutorial is to help those who are using Samba (also known as CIFS, SMB or Windows Networking). It assumes that you already are sharing media files on a Windows Server or Desktop. Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in SMB client? The Kodi client in current versions (17.x and older) is slow. Using /etc/fstab is faster, and not really that hard to setup. EDIT: 11/1/2019 While improvements were made in Kodi 18.x, using fstab will still be faster. Preparation: You will need to know …

If the Harddisk is not mounted it depends. If the folder doesn’t exists the recording would be lost. If the fodler exists it would be saved to the SD card

Thank, that solution worked! I think it was failing because I was thinking it was asking to the username and password of the other pi rather than the one running osmc.
