Recorders
A Recorder server enables recording by Portal Server users. If a recorder server is not created here, any attempt to record a live stream or a stored video will fail. Once enabled, users must also be assigned the appropriate permissions (see Allow Content Recording on page 86).
(Note: Do not confuse a Recorder server with a Network Video Recorder which is a a separate product. See the ETV Network Video Recorder Release Notes for more information.)
Note By installation default, all recordings are stored on the D: drive. If you install ETV Portal Server on a system without a D: drive, you must subsequently go to Global Settings > Recorders and change the record path as necessary. Also, the Max Recording field shows the default number of concurrent recording sessions allowed. If you need more than 2 concurrent recording sessions, you must purchase a Network Video Recorder.
TTo add a Recorder configuration:
1.Go to Global Settings > Recorders.
