Creating separate DVR folders for each user

[cmacfarlane93 10]

Is this possible, so that each user essentially has control of their own personal recordings folder? Or is there a plugin available that can help with this?

Hi.  No, not at this time but it is possible for the future (there is already a feature request for it).

 

Thanks.

I've requested this, a temporary workaround that I've put in (though you'll need 4.0 to do this) is having the folder structure like this:

 

- TV Recordings

- - TV Recordings (User 1)

- - TV Recordings (User 2)

- - TV Recordings (User 3)

- - TV Recordings (Shared)

 

Add all of the user folders and shared folder to your library and set the default recording location as the shared folder, then when a recording is saved that's for a specific user, manually move it to their respective folder. On 4.0, you can grant access to individual folders rather than having to give either all of the library or none of it, as below:

 

 

The users won't have to switch between libraries then and won't know when you've moved a recording from one folder to the other because they all appear under one library. The only downside to this is that all users will be able to see all recordings until you manually move them, but I think this is the best you can do until per-user recording is added.
