Timeshift buffer path can't be set, using an existing folder/directory #15

Closed J-Peters closed 9 years ago

Hi,

I am using Kodi 14.2 Helix with DVBViewer Client 1.9.24, DVBViewer Pro Recording Service 1.31.0.0 Beta (works properly, Win 7 Pro 64 SP1, TechniSat CableStar Combo HD CI, AzureWave Driver DTV USB TV-Box 7070).

Under "Settings > Advanced" one can enter a Timeshift buffer path, double click on the text "special://userdata/addon_data/pvr.dvbviewer". But this does NOT offer folders or paths for selecting one. Instead, you can create a new folder manually, but NOT every path will be accepted as expected:

1st example: D:\Users\Public\TVTimeShift 2nd example: \\Public\TVTimeShift (means an existing shared network directory/path)

The error message Pops up: "This path can't be created! Please ensure that the selected folder is not write-protected and the new path name is valid".

How to set a Timeshift buffer path, using an existing folder or shared network directory?

Many thanks in advance, and kind regards, J-Peters
