I’m going to move back into the Kodi PVR setup this week, with a Digibit R1 and Chromeboxes in each room. I will run the TVHeadend backend on the ‘main’ Chromebox, but want to be able to record TV content via any of the instances and be able to play it back on any of the other boxes. I have a NAS, but don’t want to use it to record TV content onto (especially timeshift) as I don’t want to stress the drives with so much disposable data, so based on that, is this the best set up map;
Should I create another ‘NAS’ via a USB HDD connected to my router for TV recording to make it accessible to all clients?
Should I add a USB stick to each Chromebox for timeshift content? I doubt I’d need more than a few GB for timeshift, so would an SD perform as well or the same as a USB? I am happy to replace annually for a few £ when they die due to number of writes.
On the Digibit front, I’ve read of some non-oem firmware (perexg’s) for better performance, is this still the recommended route? The post I read was over a year old, so the stock firmware may include the same features/performance now?
Having not set up TVH before, I assume the above is possible.
Thanks
