Is there a way to configure Plex so that my DVR recordings are written to my local disk. Right now I have my TV Show media files in the cloud, so it is trying to write to the cloud drive and dying a painful death. I would like it to write to local and I will then copy up to the cloud drive.
Add multiple folders to your library.
Then I would suggest deleting existing recordings and recreate them selecting the local folder as location to record to.
After recording finishes you can use a script to move recordings to your cloud drive location. I am running on Windows and have a script that runs to move files to different locations. One statement moves recordings for Big Bang Theory to my Dropbox folder:
robocopy /MOVE /S “F:\Recorded TV\The Big Bang Theory (2007)” “E:\Dropbox\A-Plex Cloud\TV_Shows\The Big Bang Theory (2007)”
As long as the same folders, local and cloud, are in the same library Plex will not record the same episode again unless you have specified to replace lower resolution recordings.
