I've successfully installed your HDHomeRun DVR Manager ver. 0.6.0 package but am unable to create the /volume1/HDHomeRunDVR folder on my Synology NAS.
The package creates it - the instructions provided simply make it a shareable folder
When I open the Medial Player app on the TV and select my NAS > Video, I do see a folder named HDHomeRunDVR which has 7 sub-folders inside (bin, download, images, ...) none of which contains any item to display.
This seems to be the same folder found in DSM: File Station > web > HDHomeRunDVR
Yes - this is the Web share with the UI.. I can't comment why your NAS is showing it under Video.. that seems wrong and something up with your settings... by default your NAS will share out the web folder under //NAS/web
Support said to follow your instructions: "How to expose the default RecordPath as a share (or even just see it in FileStation)". Those instructions worked fine until I received the error message: "The operation failed. Please log into DSM and try again." This was right after the
- uncheck 'Enable Recycle Bin'
- click 'Next', then click 'Apply'
steps. There are a couple of additional steps in the folder creation wizard (encryption and configure advanced settings) that were not mention in the instructions. I clicked 'Next' at each screen leaving the choices untouched.
Make sure you run the command from ssh console first BEFORE you try and add the share via the Filestation or Control Panel
If you fail to run this command the synology tools get confuse as they try to create an already existing folder, because they can't see the folder..
Again the command is
Code: Select all
sudo synoacltool -add /volume1/HDHomeRunDVR group:administrators:allow:rwxpdDaARWc--:fd—
You also need to run the other command to make sure the record engine can still write to the folder after you do this since running synoacltool means the file permissions are replaced with ACL permissions so now you need to add back the http group or user.
i.e.
Code: Select all
sudo synoacltool -add /volume1/HDHomeRunDVR group:http:allow:rwxpdDaARWc--:fd--
Could be also you need to specifically add the http user.. so try also running
Code: Select all
sudo synoacltool -add /volume1/HDHomeRunDVR user:http:allow:rwxpdDaARWc--:fd--
Also, when I open the HDHomeRun application on my Mac Mini, the HDHomeRun screen is black (except for the various TV channels along the right side) and says
"Unable to play channel
DVR Failure"
This could be for many reasons...
If live TV - then could be in doing some of the messing around above you might have messed up permissions.
Record Engine needs permission to create the 'Live TV' folder at a min. so if that's not in the HDHomeRunDVR folder you will run into problems. However - it should be easy to spot this issue because the same permissions are needed for log file generation and recordings.
Are you seeing new log files in the UI?
