Network Shares Issues

Channels DVR Server
#1

Greetings, I am having a few (I suspect related) issues with my DVR when on the network. I am able to browse to the share just fine, and can move recorded data off it and onto my local machine. The problem is, however, I am not able to import any data onto the share, it just errors out.

I plugged my DVR USB HD directly into my local machine and am able to move files that way. When I plug it back into the Pi, I am able to scan and add files via import, but when I browse to the share none of the files I imported show up. They are obviously there since I can play them in Channels, but I cannot see them via the network.

Any ideas? TIA

Sounds like a rights issue. What error do you get?

It says "error code 50" which isn't terribly helpful. I couldn't find much when I searched.

Your server is a PI. If you computer is an Apple, then this might apply:

If not, what type of client?

There are some known issues with the Pi network share feature and compatibility with macOS. I have tried a few times to figure it out but it's not obvious how to fix.

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep tinkering, but at least I can physically connect the drive to my Mac so I can transfer files.

You could use filezilla for mac and then do an sftp file transfer via the ssh port on the pi. So basically instead of using port 22 for ssh you can just sftp to that port then drag and drop files.

Does the RPi image allow NFS mounts? Maybe you could try that if your problem is with an SMB mount.

Hmm, what a creative idea, I had not thought of that! It's been a while since I've used Filezilla, and I had completely forgotten about it. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I really don't know if it supports NFS.
