You can browse to TVH on your IceBox and change the recording location there.

http://[IceBox IP]:9981

Go into Configuration -> Recording -> (Default Profile) and change the "Storage path" under the "Filesystem Settings" to the location of your external HDD.

If you don't see that option, go into Config->General and set your "Default view level" to 'Expert".

General / How to use external USB HDD to...

Last post by IanV - May 19, 2024, 05:59:19 PM

I've given up trying to use my Synology NAS to increase space for recordings.  Not because of IceBox but a problem with Synology nfs shares. Therefore, I've purchased a 4Tb USB drive.  LibreElec automatically recognises the drive and mounts it to /var/media/TOSHIBA EXT.
Can anyone suggest how I can override this automatic behaviour and instead, mount it to /storage/recordings, please?

My recollection is that copying via SAMBA os quite swift, although I rarely use it (mainly because of flaky windows support for SMABA). I use SFTP most of the time, using various ftp clients, but mainly FileZilla. You need to enable SSH in KODI settings in the "services" tab, and set a password (not a good idea to disable password requirement).

I've never seen any issues, either with SAMBA, or speed of file transfer from IceBox BYO to a Windows 11 PC. I suspect cabling or this ->Mac<-.

If wireless, then a whole other story.

Is Samba the only file transfer protocol  available for IceBox? Am I missing something in settings on IceBox or Mac/network?

I just use my Local Network. I found that ICEBOX appeared in the Network folder on my PC and when I opened it, I could see the Recordings folder.  The transfer was slowish, but much better than what you described.  About 4 hours to copy pretty much a Terabyte.

Getting Help / Slow file transfer

Last post by NBOSTI - May 18, 2024, 10:54:13 PM

O.K. So I like to transfer and save some recorded files to my Mac. Add them to my existing Library.
In order to use another player to use at later date. Infuse can handle playing back the .mkv files. although some program names are generic. So I edit Meta Data. All good.
The issue; I find that with Samba the file transfer from IceBox to Mac can take a long time, up to 2 hours or more for a movie. A 1/2 hour tv show can take over an hour.
When I used to use AFP to transfer files between systems on my network, mainly between Macs, it would only be a matter of minutes to complete.
Is Samba the only file transfer protocol  available for IceBox? Am I missing something in settings on IceBox or Mac/network?
Just seems extremely slow when my network performs fast with other transfers and streaming.
