Hey guys

i have installed partner box on a DUO and Solo

i have set the solo to access the ip of the duo as thats the hdd box i have

now what i wanna ask is is that it or do i do more when i access the menu's like stream current service i get nothing just a bank screen and the autotimer if i was to set that up would that mean i would record from the solo to the duo hdd

just a little help or step by step would be much apreciated thanks

from the little i have experimented on it. i have installed partnerbox only on the solo and entered in the ip address of the duo. also changed the option in menu to use partnerbox as hdd replacement. streams perfectly for me then and can change channel on duo from solo to watch on the solo. i hope that makes sense mate?

sorry mate, my mistake it was in sytem-network-mountmanager.
then add new network mount point
enter duo ip address
change server share to /media/hdd
change use as hdd replacement to yes
press ok
thats it

when you press recordings button on solo you will get the duo hdd list. and when you setup a recording it will record perfectly to the duo.

i'm guessing that is an NFS share not CIFS

did you change option for active to enable? and rename server share to /media/hdd?
