I have a PC that runs as a media server using Plex and several devices that connect to it to stream video. I have a VU+ Uno box with latest Openvix on it. I've managed to setup a network share from a hard disk connected to my Netgear router and the idea is to set this as my recording area so that Plex can pick it up and I can watch whatever is recorded from the Vu+ box.
So (minor) issue number one. I also have a Windows share setup. When I run Network browser it picks up both the Netgear attached drive and the Windows share without any problems and I can mount them and it quickly says they are successfully mounted. BUT - when I go into the location option when I am setting a program timer and then press the Menu button to display my devices and setup a bookmark only the Netgear attached drive is showing. This is NFS and the Windows is CIFS. That is the only difference (and Samba is installed and I have tried setting the Windows share to NFS). Not a big irritant but more of an annoyance
Anyway the other annoyance is that any recordings are saved as .TS files. Now I can get Plex to read these and display them in its menu system but Plex will not play them. So I am faced with having to manually convert them. Is there anyway the default file format can be changed?
Basically I just want to be able to record programs from Satellite and let Plex automatically catalog them so I can watch them on any number of devices in the house (or away from the house I suppose)
