what is the model of your PVR and the operating system on it?

Thanks for your replies everyone. Writing a plug in sounds way beyond my skill set. At least I know I am not doing anything wrong.

Is anyone aware if there are any plans to add this functionality to serviio in the future?

Kind Regards

This PVR runs linux, so it might be possible to install samba and share the drives, I did a quick search, but could not fine one. There are third party mods for this PVR called taps.

it might be easier to get a basic NAS and setup an automatic FTP to copy the files from the PVR to the NAS and then stream them via serviio.

Can anybody suggest a good NAS to purchase.

I do not know a lot about "NAS" so please be patient with me.

Can I connect a "NAS" to my Topfield TRF-2400 as an external hard drive (this is an option with the TRF-2400) via usb, save my recorded files to the external drive and use the NAS to share the files over my network via wireless connection?

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Scott

When I access the serviio server via my TV I can see the DataFiles folder but its empty. What am I doing wrong?

Check that serviio services have permission access :
On Windows:
Start -> Exec : services.msc => Select "serviio" service, properties, Log On, use account with administrator permission.

That isn't going to work as it isn't a permissions problem, it simply doesn't have a samba server, just and FTP and webserver.

Probably, but he said : " When I access the serviio server via my TV I can see the DataFiles folder but its empty.".
Personnally, I use a network HDD (buffalo), and I use UNC path like \\192.168.1.10\Share\video and I need to change serviio service permission to allow the scan of this folder path.
