How to move downloaded VOD movies to external SSD.

How to default save VOD downloads to external SSD.

Yes, I am a noob to IPTV

From Live TV,  Menu->PVR->PVR Options and last option in the settings is "Download storage".  Select it and then select the external drive.  Then downloads should go to external drive.

Great! Is there a map of the menus somewhere or is learn by try?

How about moving the videos already downloaded to internal storage?

 

[dishuser]

everything has a description in menu

use a file explorer app to move from internal to external

I have X-plore 3 beers; are these files hidden or am I just not looking in the correct location?

 

[dishuser]

I select internal drive

then go to library

but I use es file explorer

[Dwight Bremer]

I don't see a directory/folder named library.

google how to use that app

like I said I use es file explorer and have no issues finding and moving files from any drive to another

First of all, I haven't checked the X5, but on The Classic (which should be the same), you can't select internal storage for VOD downloads.  Only recordings can be set to internal.  VOD downloads NEED an external storage device.

For recordings, I use Solid Explorer (similar to ES file explorer) and all internal recordings are typically under "Internal Memory->Android->Media->BuzzXR4000.TV   So you can copy them from there and put them anywhere else you want.

Other option is to go into "BuzzTV Utilities"->"Network shares" and you can "enable network shares".  Then from a PC, you can go to \\your.buzztvx5.ipaddress.here and you will see a share called "Internal" and you can then navigate to the same directory as mentioned above.

I installed it, but got busy on real work for now. Thank You!

Got it all working . I was making it far to difficult. The X5 does download to internal storage so once network shares are turned on you can simply do what you will with the downloads using plain old Windows File Explorer. I have been copying and pasting the files into my Plex Server library.

Next I may just add the X5 share Movie download directory as a Plex Library and see how that works instead of copy and paste.

 

Thank You for the help!
