He doesn't know where the Channels recording folder is and can't use his TerraMaster to find them.
Sure it's a docker volume mapping and TerraMaster usage thing.
I cant do that because I dont have any access to the recordings folder or any folder created or used by channele because it running from docker, I appreciate your help brother but I dont know how many times do I have to say the same thing but thanks anyways
You need to figure out where Channels DVR is storing the recordings on your TerraMaster.
- You installed it via docker, how?
- What volume mappings did you use?
- What directory did you select in Channels DVR?
Then you need to figure out how to access that directory using your TerraMaster File Manager, ssh, scp, NFS or SMB.
Only you can figure out where your recordings are stored.
I dont think you understand what docker and how it works but thanks anyways bro
Judging by your bread crumb trail you left on this forum How to install channels dvr on a Terramaster F2-221 NAS - #4 by Dxcv I'm going to guess your recordings are in
/mnt/disk/dvr/recordings on your TerraMaster
I fully understand docker been using it for years ... when you created the docker container you had to define a folder to store recordings.
Most users just copy/paste docker run statements and have no idea what they're doing.
I know, because I was one of them when I started using docker.

Yeah then they assume we don't understand docker .... 
What is the recording directory you picked in Channels DVR? (case sensitive)
What volume mappings did you use when you installed the Channels DVR docker container?
These?
docker
--detach \
--name=channels-dvr \
--net=host \
--restart=unless-stopped \
--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
--volume /mnt/disk/dvr/config:/channels-dvr \
--volume /mnt/disk/dvr/recordings:/shares/DVR \
fancybits/channels-dvr:latest
Regardless of what method was used to install Channels the server lists your path to the recordings. So unless you're trying to tell us you don't have access to the physical device you should be able to find what you need to transfer over
The only reason the recordings wouldn't be on disk is if you have Channels DVR recording to a directory in the Docker Container that isn't volume mapped to a hard disk directory on your NAS.
In that case the recordings are written to the overlay file system with nowhere to go and the docker container will grow (huge memory usage).
How do I know that (experience /shares/dvr ≠ /shares/DVR).
As you can see in the picture the server does tell me what the path is but as you can see in the next picture that path is no where near to be found anywhere on my NAS, the folder that I have that says recordings as you can see is open in the picture and it is a folder that I created a long time ago before I was using channels I was using tivimate and I would store my tivimate recordings the but as you can see there is nothing absolutely nothing related to any channels content on my NAS, I dont know why people keep repeating things to me that are already in the guides, Stop telling me things that are in the basic channelsdvr settings if those things were a fix I would note be posting this, as for where I told docker to store my recordings when I created the channels container? The answer is I didnt I just let docker use whatever default path it uses, which docker doesnt say. IM GOIING TO SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME SO THAT PEOPLE PLEASE STOP REPEATING THE SAME THING, this isnt a matter of channels not storing my recordings or a matter of channels telling me where my recordings are, like I said channels does tell me, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LOCATION THAT CHANNELS TELLS ME CANNOT BE FOUND ON MY NAS of course its on there, I just have not way to see it, PLEASE UNDERSTAND !!!!Thanks in advance

How did you install the Channels DVR Server docker container?
docker run command line?
docker compose statement?
Show us the docker run statement you used, or the docker compose statement you used.
If you understand docker, like you say you do, you should understand volume mappings and how they work.
You have Channels DVR recording to /root/ganar in the Channels DVR docker container.
Where did you volume map that to on your NAS?
You're also using a bridge network for the container instead of host network. You probably can't see the Channels DVR Server with any Channels client app because of that.
First of all I never said I understood docker, because I dont, what I said was that YOU dont understand docker, I have no problem saying that I dont understand Docker thats why I am asking the question in the first place what I am saying is that your failure to understand the question as it seems, shows that neither do you, as for how installed docker I downloaded the following image on the picture I will post and after I ran the image I just kept clicking next on the installation/configuration windows that came up, until it finally started running.
Thanks in advance
Wow. How anybody would be interested in continuing to help you, with this kind of attitude, is beyond me. Best of luck.

I'm not trying to be an ass here but in reality you are going to have to find your own recordings. You have been asked how you installed the contianer and you replied with "i just kept clicking next". No offense but what are we supposed to do with that? If you have no idea how you installed it, how do we know? I reread each of your long one sentence posts again and they are very difficult to understand. You are using kind of a non standard setup so the most we can give you is that the files are there somewhere, you may just have to play detective to find them.
Since I don't understand Docker, I can't help you.
Good Luck
