Hi.
I’m trying out my office Mac mini with attached hd. Instead of my nas which isn’t capable of hardware encoding.
The comp switches off around 12am and on at 6am. But I’m a number of queued programmes that simply don’t record. Does the comp effectively have to be on the whole time whether recordings scheduled or not?
If you installed the DVR during the beta, you’ll need to open Terminal.app and run:
./channels-dvr/install.sh --wake-helper
It will ask for your password to enable automatic wake to record.
Ahh right. I certainly did.
Hi. I get no such file or directory
Where are you running the command from? If you run it from your home directory (cd ~) it should work, unless you put the channels-dvr folder somewhere else.
Please copy paste the entire command and output you see in the Terminal so I can see what’s happening.
Usually new terminal windows default to your home directory, and that’s where the default installation was.

Umm just a thought. the channels folders/databases etc are on the external drive I point channels at. That’s correct isn’t it. the installer app would install in my home folder? though i can’t see where it is
Okay try this:
~/Library/Application\ Support/ChannelsDVR/install.sh --wake-helper
Do you recall if you entered your password during the initial install? It would have prompted you in the new GUI installer you used.
It appears there may be some issue with the wake helper on High Sierra. I am investigating.
I upgraded to High Sierra and everything works as expected.
There was a configuration issue on @Bertiebuoy’s computer causing some issues but we were able to resolve it.
