Simple(?) question/clarification about setting up DVR and AutoRecs - stephr1 - 2021-05-05
UPDATE (5/14/21):
No one responded or had any suggestions. Boo!
However, I did figure something out. It's not what I wanted but seems to work the way I need it to.I was trying to set up the tv show "20/20" and quickly realized having the slash in the name as problematic. I learned that a "/" CANNOT be escaped in Linux. bummer. I tried a few variations ("_", "." and a couple of others). What finally worked was just leaving a space between the numbers (i.e. "20 20") Made things work like I expected.
Cheers....

Had to do a reinstall of my system and am trying to fine tune the DVR part.
For setting the overall recordings storage directory (in Configuration>Digital Video Recorder Profiles>Recording File Options> Recording system path
I have, what should be, the standard directory - /home/osmcThen, for individual programs I have set up the recording directory (in Digital Video Recorder>Edit Autorec>Expert Settings>Directory) I have TV Shows/<program name directory>.
My question is do I need a slash "/" in any of the following places (to ensure the recorded program is saved in the correct directory or ensure it's saved at all
A. After osmc in "home/osmc", or B. before and/or after "TV Show/<program name directory>"?Some of my programs show they have been recorded (under Live-TV/recordings), but I cannot seem to find the files where they are supposed to be
Thanks in advance and cheers.....
