Channels DVR Server
#1

Hey folks

Is it possible to have the DVR server redirect the HD Home Run to different storage without that going through the server itself ? Use case would be I have a SBC or similar running the server components and when it’s time to record it says “hey, HD Home Run, go stream your data to an NFS/SMB mount on that box over there”. Think SIP proxy… the proxy directs traffic but the actual RTP data goes from endpoint to endpoint.

Also, are there any plans to have a cloud based service to set the DVR when I’m away from home ? I’m not a fan of opening any ports on my firewall whatsoever.

Cheers

Pete

The HDHomeRun cannot talk to NFS/SMB directly.

There are no plans for a cloud-based service.

So as a stopgap now, I have Channels running on an Ubuntu VM on a WS2012R2 hyper-v server, mounting an iscsi target from my NAS. It’s actually working fine over the network, probably because iscsi is a block, vs file protocol like SMBv2. Modern windows has iscsi built in, so that might work well for you.

Appreciate the info.
