Just managed to get my TM600 with Ur image "22/12/09" to record to a mounted drive on my local windows comp. with the "LAN" button mount manager.

things you will need :p

. TM600 with UR image / that's what im using anyway..
. TM/UR formatted USB storage. / i used a 16GB Kingston flash stick
. Windows shared folder / i used a win7 shared folder without password.

plug in usb storage check it's formatted in rear usb port and set as recording drive in options, and there's a "movie" dir on it.

press "LAN" button and go to mounts

these are the settings i used with a usb stick in back usb port.

copy all the settings apart from
IP: "the i.p of windows comp with shared folder"
Dir: "the name of shared folder use same upper/lower case"
User: "the windows pc/user name or whatever name you use to share from"

i've not tested with passworded share or auto share.

now just start a recording as normal...

i've only tested a 20 min recording, but i passed it through videoredo app and it showed 0 errors in .ts :)
hopefully it works ok for now until UR add an "official" way to do it ;P

p.s once it's started recording you can start watching the .ts file straight away with vlc.. :)

p.p.s
"TM600" in the dir line is a shared folder called TM600 on my windows comp shared directly so it shows on network as \\192.168.1.10\TM600

So why does this not work on a tm500 ?
I'm sure a tm500 is full capable of recording through the network .....But it is not implemented !

There is not even CIFS implemented on tm500 ?
 
this dont work for me using a windows XP PC, but im not sure if i have the folder set up properly on the windoes PC, i also dont know if i should enter anything in the user window on the receiver

I'm pretty sure it won't work without user, i've been using "computer name" but i think it will depend how sharing is setup

to get computer name on XP
Start Button > right click "My Computer" > Properties > Computer Name > "Full computer name:"

to get computer name on XP
Start Button > right click "Computer" > Properties > "Computer name:"


@wolftje
it doesn't work on a TM500 because it doesn't have any PVR functions on image at the moment.. and it having no usb ports :p
does the TM500 not have mount manager in "LAN" button either ?
 
the TM500 has mount manager

if i can get it working here on a tm600, ill then copy all the details to the tm500

you could also try using tmp/ as the local dir on tm500
 
if the mount manager is there CIFS should work fine on the TM500, but not to "/mnt/usb1/movie" as thats part of the usb function on image, and i don't think TM500 has any record/pvr options on image, could be wrong, this only works as your mounting network dir to the usb port the image is trying to record to and forcing it over network.
