Figure 15. Playlist available from remote network.
If the device is accessible from the remote network you will see a playlist link with an external IP address in
the next configuration interface table as shown in figure 15. Make sure your router is set up properly to access
the playlist and video stream. If your router supports UPnP remote access can be managed as described in the
section 5.7.2.
NOTE: if you make changes in the playlist configuration window or modify STB presets table entries, you also
must download the updated playlist file and import into the video player that you are using.
5.6 Recordings
Before using device video recording feature you must configure the storage where video records will be
stored. Then create a record schedule for TV shows.
5.6.1 Storage
Storage settings let you choose the type of storage between the USB and network drive. “Status” shows
mounting status of the drive. If the disk is mounted, the free disk space that will be used for recordings will be
displayed. If the USB option is selected, a list of available USB partitions will be displayed. See Figure 16.
Figure 16. Storage configuration.
If the storage type is a network drive, the “Network drive address” field must specify the full path to the drive.
Domain name is not supported in this field. The address must begin with // characters, followed by the IP
address. If the drive requires username and password add them to the appropriate fields. Otherwise, leave these
fields blank. Make sure the connection to the network drive is stable throughout the connection. Otherwise, the
recording process of the unit may deteriorate.
The “Keep records for” option specifies how long the records will be stored. They will be deleted automatically
after the specified time.
The device will create “records” folder in the storage and all records will be stored there. Switching drives
between devices will automatically detect previously recorded TV programs.
5.6.2 Recording schedule
The schedule has two different options – one-time and weekly recording. Figure 17 shows both cases.
Figure 17. Recording schedule.
“One time recording” - means a single recording at the exact time and specified duration. The start time can
be selected up to 6 days in advance. Such schedule entry is shown in Figure 17 on the “TV1 – Friday movie”
record. If “One time recording” checkbox is selected, the checkboxes indicating the days of the week will be
ignored.
“Weekly recording” means that the TV channel will be recorded on each selected day of the week at the
selected start time. Such schedule entry is shown in the Figure 17 on the “TV1 – News” record.
