Except that the recordings are moved to a +HDD and not burned to a DVD. +In my case, I have an external USB docking station for SATA HDDs in which +I plug in the HDD with the recording to play. + + +Installation +============ + +1. Copy the 'hddarchive.sh' to the same directory like 'dvdarchive.sh' + (in Gentoo Linux it is /usr/bin/hddarchive.sh) +2. Copy the 'hddarchive.conf' to the same directory like 'dvdarchive.conf' + (in Gentoo Linux it is located in /etc/vdr/) +3. Edit the 'hddarchive.conf'. MOUNTPOINT should be an existing path, in + which the HDD will be mounted. +4. Copy the script 'vdr_move_to_hdd.sh' to /usr/local/bin/ +5. Edit /usr/local/bin/vdr_move_to_hdd.sh: check that ARCHIVEHDD is the same + as MOUNTPOINT in 3. + VDRSETTINGSFILE is the path to the gentoo vdr config file (/etc/conf.d/vdr). + This is only used to get the envvar ${VIDEO}.

Create a file hdd.vdr in the root direcory on each archive HDD (/hdd.vdr) + The content is used to identify the HDD and should be unique. + I have used 2 digits 01, 02...
