Q: If the NAS loses power or reboots will the Record Engine autostart? \\ | </WRAP> |
A: Yes. | ===== Next step: Using DVR in the HDHomeRun app ===== |
| <WRAP indent> |
| |
Q: Do I need to create a Share Folder titled HDHomeRun? Where are recordings saved? \\ | Once you finish setting up a DVR storage device, see our guide link below for instructions on using the DVR features in the HDHomeRun app.\\ |
A: No, you do not. If you're setting up a brand new My Cloud, recordings will be saved to Public\HDHomeRun. If you already have an HDHomeRun folder in the ROOT of the NAS, the Record Engine will continue to use the existing folder. | <btn type="success" size="lg" icon="fa fa-book">[[:app|Instructions on using the DVR features in the HDHomeRun app]]</btn> |
