We need some options under vnsi client settings - Timeshift and Recording directory - hoppel118 - 2017-10-09
Hello @FernetMenta
we need more configurable options under the vnsi client settings.
The users ask for these settings in different forums.
Here I described what I mean: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=319873&pid=2631858#pid2631858
Is it possible to get some options to configure the timeshift and the recording directory?
1. Timeshift Mode - Off / RAM / HDD
If I choose "RAM" or "HDD" it should be possible to configure these settings:
1a. Timeshift Buffer Directory - option to configure the specific path at the server
1b. Timeshift Buffer File Size for this vdr client - option to configure the file size in kb, mb or gb
These settings have to be written to "/var/lib/vdr/setup.conf" of the vdr server.
2. Recording Directory - option to configure the specific path at the server or maybe at the local machine if the local machine is the vdr server
This setting has to be written to "/etc/vdr/conf.d/00-vdr.conf" of the vdr server.
At least these are the settings vor latest stable vdr 2.2.0. I don't know if the path' changed with vdr 2.3.x.
3. Path to channel icons
I don't know if the setting under vnsi client settings somehow works. I only use the way under kodi.
If it doesn't work, the option could be removed.
What do you think about this?
Thanks and Greetings Hoppel

1. timeshift directory can be configured using vdr OSD. This is a server, not a client setting. Client settings are stored with the client and only affect this single client.
2. /etc/vdr/conf.d/00-vdr.conf, is a file not belonging to VDR itself but to your distro, whatever this is. I compile VDR myself and don't have this file. Other distros than yours may work differently as well.
3. channel icon path configured for vnsi is for picons (https://www.picons.eu/). This is much much better than trying to find channel icons by channel name, what the standard PVR setting does.

Hello @FerntMenta
sorry, didn't recognize your post, because of the forum software change and the unavailability of tapatalk.
1. It's not possible to configure the vdr using the vdr osd inside kodi. I use the nvidia shield with the latest andorid nougat and some windows 10 pcs. It doesn't wort at all. My vdr server is headless.
2. ok, didn't know, that it's not a default file. I use the latest stable vdr 2.2.0 from e-tobis repo.
3. Thanks for this hint. I will give it a try.
Thank you anyway for the good work with vnsi.
