    create a folder on the root of your c/ drive called movies then within that folder create another folder called movies, now go to the folders properties and allow network share

    now on the dream

    ip = ip of the computer the share is on
    dir = movies
    local dir = /mnt/hdd
    options = rw
    extra = nolocksize=8192,wsize=8192
    user = username for pc
    pass = pass for pc


    dont say linux if i wanted it id install it

    i think you NEED to have a dir called "movie" else it will not work as mentioned above

    so on pc share a dir called "dreambox" or "dramboxpvr" but create a dir under it called movie , where all the recordings go

    client dir = /hdd
    server dir = dreambox (or whatever you called your share dreamboxpvr)

    also I dropped the the data size rsize and wsize down to 4096 as this worked better as less data was travelling across lan and helped with recordings @ 8mb it dropped out and pixelated trial and error might be best for you situation

    yellow button starts it off on some images.


    on a 7020 you just press the video button and it just works.
