Servio and Scribe

Post by duane909 »

I have had a Prime and Servio in my house for several years. Recently bought a Scribe on Ebay. Put the scribe in my camper using the camper off air antenna. When the camper is home, I plug it into the house network using an ethernet cable. Recently I took the camper to a job site, after being there for two days my wife calls me up and wants to know why half her recordings are "gone". I check the scribe when I get back to the camper and, yep there are her shows.

So, how do I move her shows from the scribe to the house servio and how do I make them record there so that the next time the camper and I go to a job site they don't go with me??

That use case should typically have a separate subscription and not connect to the same subnet as the other tuner. Though typically in that case it depends on if/how you connected to travel unit to "remove" the other unit and if both are registered both should have recorded but when you launch the app it typically will say these are now the devices on my account based on the found tuners and if not careful removes the other devices. I suggest that when you are away to use other software to access the scribe.

Note that there is no way to really control which device will record when they are together. Getting the content from one essentially involves "playing" the recording from the play url to download the file (I prefer popping the drive).

But to write the file to the other device requires popping the drive of where you want to move the file to and plugging it into a linux machine that supports xfs (vm and many nas's work fine for this) and then copying from the source (pop drive and connect to same box or via the download method I mentioned before). A better solution for you might be a pc or nas that also has a record engine... either active to record or set up to be storage only and frequently move "all" files to that.
