2. Setting up a Videorecorder as a Service

You can run the Videorecorder as a daemon on any host by using the vcrserver-tool. To connect to this tool with your MMBox edit the tvtimerLocation-variable in your .mmboxrc.

tvtimerLocation=<host>:<port>
The vcrserver continues running and records shows event if your MMBox is not running. To use this tool you need a valid tv_channels.xml-file. To create such a file read the Section about setting up LiveTV. In order to start vcrserver you have to specify a directory where to store the recordings. The directory can be specified by using the -d-option
vcrserver -d <full-directory-path>
