Recordings not saving to non root locations

[rgv250]

Hi,

Initially set up three auto timers to record soaps. Realised all going into media root would quickly become messy. Created folders for each soap, then edited each auto timer to use a custom location. Saw previous posts of a similar nature to this and followed links to add folder locations and this created bookmarks for each. Unfortunately each auto timer keeps writing to the root and not the custom location. Anything else I should be doing to get this to work?

So, didn’t realise in the Tmers menu there was a Timers option which shows a list of waiting jobs. Two of the edited auto timers seem to have changed each waiting job to point to the new folder, apart from one who’s waiting jobs are still pointing at the root. I edited each of these timers by hand to point to the correct folder. Interestingly the last of the waiting jobs relating to the auto timer whose jobs didn’t update was in fact pointing to the right location. Not really sure what I did wrong but things now look correct and will hopefully now save to the correct location.

If a Timer has already been set-up by an AutoTimer then editing the AutoTimer's location won't affect it - it will only affect Timers that it sets later.

So if you do change an AutoTimer location, you may wish to find the Timers it has already set and edit their location.
Or delete them and let the AutoTimer recreate them with its new location.

Thanks, that confirms what I had noticed happening. All working nicely now.
