 +====== Setting up DVR storage on a Netgear ReadyNAS ======
 +<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]]**
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +===== 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 http://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 **http://my.hdhomerun.com** or your HDHomeRun app.
