Hey guys,
Would be ideal to add some error handling traps to prevent SWMC from crashing when the 'Recorded TV' directory is not accessible. The reason I ask is because I am using an ISCSI drive from my nas box. I am experiencing an issue right now with my nas where sometimes I must reboot it. Once I reboot it the drive goes offline from my htpc for a minute or two. ServerWMC can't access the folder on the drive so it crashes. I then have to add a mouse to fix it. I hate having to do all of that. Would it be ideal to just ignore the folder if missing after the server has successful started. Only check for the folder at start up. With the folder missing none of the clients can launch live tv anyway so whether it crashes or don't there would not be a downside. However, the upside will be it would be fully functional when the drive gets connected again without me having to manually start the application manually.
Or the server can monitor the folder status until it reconnects. I wouldn't like that idea too much since that would hurt my cpu.
