1. Shut down/stop HDHomeRun/HdHomeRunDVR then move share hdhomerun contents to HDHomeRunDVR share, Right? Can I use Qnaps File mgr to do this or what ?
if it's still running - yes.
And yep - File Manager works :) You can leave behind the hdhomerun_record and config file.
2. /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/HDHomeRunDVR/HDHomeRunDVR.sh stop
I would make sure you do this BEFORE the copying ;)
3. Restart HDHomeRunDVR and all should be well.

Please verify and make any suggestions.

Thanks

Sounds good.
Hey demonrik

I ended up waiting until this morning to make the move and most seems to work.
I did update to your 0.53e package before starting.
All my recordings show but now I can't record anything.

When I look at the record directory there is no HDHomeRun_record or config file, I did not copy them from old directory as you said; but they have not been re-created in the new HDHomeRunDVR. Is there some other issue that need to be fixed?

You won't see the binary or config file in the recordings folder.
They are installed in the app folder

Code: Select all

/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/HDHomeRunDVR
That kind of error is usually permissions related.
Since you have a logfile the engine clearly has permissions to write to the main folder.

Am guessing you copied over recordings?
Was there a 'Murder, She Wrote' in those previous recordings?
If so, am betting the permissions are set so only admin user is only user allowed to right, but we need to allow the Web user, so need group permissions, so run

Code: Select all

chmod -R g+w /share/Recordings/HDHomeRunDVR
Then try another recording

Also, can you post the output of

Code: Select all

ls -l /share/Recordings/HDHomeRunDVR
Just in case there is something else

Thanks, looks like permissions was the key; chmod -R g+w /share/Recordings/HDHomeRunDVR

Look like all is well now.

Hey, demonrik any chance you will have an updated qpkg for the latest release?

Also, can you please put together a step by step guide to updating Qnap' s Qpkg for HDHomeRunDVR, have downloaded SDK and HDHomeRun master but still a little shaky about creating the updated Qpkg, could use some guidance.

Thanks again for you fine efforts.

It's actually in the README..
If you don't want to change the parameters, and you've installed the QDK it's very straight forward
  1. execute fetch_record_engine.sh to download the latest DVR engine
  2. execute qbuild to build the QPKG
  3. to install manually simply run 'sh build/HDHomeRunDVR_<version>.qpkg
To be honest I wouldn't change much in the qpkg.cfg file - but would advise updating the 'QPG_VER=' to something unique for your build.

Ahh..
I don't create a build until @nickk updates the changelog in case it gets pulled.

Thanks, and sorry somehow I was thinking the yesterday's update was a record engine update when it was a firmware update for the tuners.

My background is limited in linux, give me dos and windows I am fine. So please forgive my ignorance.

I need some more detail if you don't mind please.

I did install Qdk and it said it installed; so I think that ok but the rest is were I am unclear.If you could fill in a bit for me I would really appreciate.

Use putty, right?

1. Once you have cloned the package to your system.
How do I clone the package?

2. cd to the QDK project directory
Did cloning the package create this or do I?

3. Run the fetch_record_engine.sh script to get the latest DVR binary from SiliconDust

4. Build the QPKG with 'qbuild --force-config'

Thanks
Rew

you will also need to install the 'git' qpkg from the appcenter
This will be how you clone the repository and/or contribute back.

That's what I use - but any method you have to open an ssh session on the NAS will do.
1. Once you have cloned the package to your system.
How do I clone the package?
This is why you need git
decide where you want to keep the QDK project.. I have a subfolder in /share/Public called /share/Public/Projects
cd to that folder and then execute

Code: Select all

 git clone https://github.com/Silicondust/dvr_install.git 
This will download/clone the SD dvr_install repository.
2. cd to the QDK project directory
Did cloning the package create this or do I?
Yes - it will be <projects>/dvr_install/qnap
3. Run the fetch_record_engine.sh script to get the latest DVR binary from SiliconDust

4. Build the QPKG with 'qbuild --force-config'
You don't have to use the --force-config any more - just qbuild with no options.

Once you run qbuild you should have a new package built in <projects>/dvr_install/qnap/build
you can either install it through the app center or simply execute it, e.g.

Code: Select all

sh builds/HDHomeRunDVR_0.5.3f.qpk
Once you do this once - you simply need to run the fetch, qbuild, sh once @nickk updates the builds and you will have the latest.

also - I just checked and fetching the latest does return a new build of the engine
There is nothing in the changelog, but the version is 20160328atest2.

New package uploaded to my google drive for v0.5.3g with the latest engine
