You need to add the user 'HDHomeRun' with RW permissions to the share (probably 'video') that contains the RecordPath you need, then restart the record engine.calavera24 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 4:27 am Hello,
Installed hdhomerun_record_synology_20221106beta1.spk according to instructions. Everything worked fine.
DS218+ running DMR 711-42962 update 1, HDHomeRun app version 20221031 on my mac (OS 13.0.1).
I then tried to change the record path in hdhomerun.conf:
It is: RecordPath=/volume1/HDHomeRun/
I would like it to be: RecordPath=/volume1/video/HomeVideo/Recordings
in order to save recordings on the same partition used by Video Station, so that I can access recordings through my smart TVs.
Anyway, after editing the hdhomerun.conf, when I open the HDHomeRun.app on my Mac, the round button on the left does not appear, and in the Recordings panel I get the message:
"Your HDHomeRun DVR wasn't found"
Tried to stop and start the HDHomeRun package on the synology NAS, reboot the NAS, unplug and replug the HDHomeRunDUO device, and other magic voodoo stuff, but no luck.
What am I missing? it is possible to save recordings on a different partition/directory, or do I need to be forced to stay with the HDHomeRun partition?
Thanks to anybody who can help me solve this issue!
I used Finder. I moved 12 TB of recordings from a Drobo 8D (Thunderbolt connected DAS) to my new Synology DS1821+ (Ethernet connected NAS). Since the files were on a different device I don't think using Synology's File Manager would have been any faster, though that's good info to know for in the future - thanks!calavera24 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 10:05 am did you move recordings using the macOS finder, from the old to the new partition? I copied my old recordings using the synology DSM file manager, and it took only few seconds (files moved from the old to the new partition)
Is there a post that explains the installation/setup process? The last thing I was able to record was in 2021 and I'm having a hard time updating the packages and being able to record shows. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!nickk wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 5:47 pm We have just released an official Silicondust package for Synology:
https://download.silicondust.com/hdhome ... y_beta.spk
Update steps:
1) Uninstall the old package.
2) Install the Silicondust package.
3) Copy recordings from the old share to the new HDHomeRun share.
4) Delete the old share.

I just upgraded my Synology to DSM 7 from DSM 6 and installed the official Synology DVR package, and would like to update my RecordPath too.
But I can't seem to find the path for hdhomerun.conf
Do anyone know the path where the hdhomerun.conf file is located?
Thanks,
Peter

By default that is /volumeN/HDHomeRun where N is the volume number that Synology installs packages to (usually /volume1)

hdhomerundvr user is from the unofficial SPK installation - this should have been deleted if you removed the SPK
Did you remove the unofficial SPK from the package center?
HDHomeRun user is from the official SPK installation
The fact that the HDHomeRun share didn't get created is worrying
can you check the 'Control Panel' -> 'Shared Folder' doesn't list it?!
As long as you don't delete any shared folders then chances are the files are on the drives at least and it's just a matter of moving them and making them visible to both you and the record enginePeterc wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 3:27 pm My other issue is as I mentioned in another post, I don't see any of my previous recordings except for one folder with 2 episodes. I should have dozens of previously recorded shows, and even the one folder showing up only shows 2 episodes, when it should have 59. Is there anyway to get all my recordings to show back up in the App?
Weird it renamed it like that!I upgraded DSM from 6 tp 7, and uninstalled the previous unofficial version I had running. Then I tried to just install the official version. It did change the hdhomerundvr userid to hdhomerundvr__PKG_
Good startReinstalled the official version, and can see it now did create the new HDHomeRun share, and I was able to edit the hdhomerun.conf file. Looks like it does recognize my USBshare as the record path.
You don't need to create a new user with the Official SPK.But I still have a couple of issues. I didn't create a HDHomeRun user, and when I try to create one I get an error - "The user name already exists or is reserved for system use only. Please enter a new a different one." Even without this username that I can see, permissions seem to be working OK, and the HDHomeRun app on my other devices can run the DVR fine, and recordings are going to my USBShare.
yeah - if you already have a share called 'HDHomeRun' the Synology won't create the requested one by the Package as it sees it exists.Looks like in 'Control Panel' -> 'Shared Folder' does have a HDHomeRun folder, but this looks like one I created myself with that name but is actually the USBShare, the path for this is actually /volumeUSB2/usbshare/
