<btn type="success" size="xs" icon="fa fa-chevron-left">[[:DVR|Go back to all DVR topics]]</btn> \\
<lead>Netgear ReadyNAS models can be used for the HDHomeRun DVR storage software. It will require manual installation (described below), as it does not work with our normal Windows NAS installer.</lead>

===== Requirements =====
<WRAP indent>

**Before you continue, make sure you have the following:**

  * [[DVR:subscription|HDHomeRun DVR subscription]]
  * One or more compatible HDHomeRun device: see **[[:dvr tuners|List of DVR compatible HDHomeRun devices]]**

===== Manual installation =====
<WRAP indent>

  - Use the ReadyNAS UI to create an SMB/SAMBA file share called "HDHomeRun", accessible to "everyone". Disable snapshots for that volume.
  - Enable SSH (Settings -> Services -> SSH) and logging in as root.
  - <wrapper>Log into your ReadyNAS via SSH and issue the following commands. This will create an apps directory for the hdhomerun_record software and download it to that location.
<code>mkdir -p /apps/hdhomerun_record/bin
cd /apps/hdhomerun_record/bin
wget https://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_record_linux
chmod +x hdhomerun_record_linux
./hdhomerun_record_linux start
mv /tmp/hdhomerun_record_* hdhomerun_record
chmod 755 hdhomerun_record
chown root:root hdhomerun_record
rm hdhomerun_record_linux</code></wrapper>
  - <wrapper>Create the HDHomeRun DVR configuration file.  Update the RecordPath to the record path you configured in your NAS.
<code>cd /apps/hdhomerun_record
cat <<EOF >hdhomerun.conf
RecordPath=/data/HDHomeRun
EOF</code></wrapper>
  - <wrapper>Start the HDHomeRun DVR software to see if it's working
<code>/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record start --conf /apps/hdhomerun_record/hdhomerun.conf</code>

If it's working properly you should find a log file in /data/HDHomeRun, and a process in the process list. </wrapper>
  - <wrapper>Stop the process before setting up the start script.
<code>/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record stop</code></wrapper>
  - <wrapper>Copy and paste the following to create the service file to automatically start the DVR software:
<code>
cat <<EOF > /lib/systemd/system/hdhomerun.service
[Unit]
Description=HDHomeRun DVR Service
After=network-up.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record start --conf /apps/hdhomerun_record/hdhomerun.conf
ExecStop=/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record stop --conf /apps/hdhomerun_record/hdhomerun.conf
RemainAfterExit=true
Nice=-1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
</code></wrapper>
  - <wrapper>Now enable and start the DVR software:
<code>systemctl enable hdhomerun
systemctl start hdhomerun</code></wrapper>
  - Restart the NAS and verify that the DVR remains available by checking the HDHomeRun app.
  - If everything is working, you can go and disable SSH (Settings -> Services -> SSH).
