Still the same no matter how I create the mount I.e. through Web interface or remote. Records a few seconds then occasionally comes up with "Record failed due to an write error during recording. Check for filesystem corruption". I think it is an ethernet issue but can't quite work it out...

Interesting - have just tried another recording and this time the DM500 has displayed this error message on screen (which is something I have not seen so far): Record failed due to an write error during recording. Check for filesystem corruption.

@battenfan seems more and more like a networking problem - I tried that command you mentioned and, while it creates a 0 byte file on the HDD, the command prompt simply hangs and does not return to the >. Changing the network cable doesn't seem to make any difference. So either looks like a...

Thanks all again,very helpful indeed! No further forward really - there seems to be packet losses between the DM and the router as I logged on earlier and pinged the default gateway (router ip) and I am getting a packet loss of around 20% which seems quite high to me. Perhaps this is one cause...

Thanks all - playing is not the problem, it is recording from the DM to the hard drive. It seems to create small files (1,536 kb in size for MPEG-2 TS) then crashes the box and the only way to get out of it is to pull the power. I'm running Gemini 4.2.0. Could it be to do with the window...

Progress I think - I can now record; had to create a folder called movie on the USB drive and two files are created per recording: EIT File and MPEG-2 TS file. The problem now is that the maximum file size seems to be 1,536 kB irrespective of how long the recording runs for. Then when I...

Thanks for your reply, I think it worked but I have mapped my drive to /var/mnt. Now when I do an ls in this directory, I can see the root drive of the USB drive and all it's contents apart from video files for some reason. I can play mp3's via the drive ! However, I can't seem to record from...

I am trying to create a mount from my DM500 to a usb drive which is connected to the USB port on my router. Looking through this forum, I have come across the following mount commands: mount -t cifs -o username=dreambox,password=letmein //192.168.0.2/Recordings /hdd mount -t cifs -o...
