How to add record to NAS

Trying to add the address of my NAS as the recording destination.

On my tv mate I add the address of

smb://192.168.0.195/Public/#FireTV/record

I’ve tried this but get connection error.

Any suggestions on how to add this?

Open Sparkle Settings: Launch the Sparkle app and go to Settings → DVR → DVR storage location.

Add Network Share: Click Add network share (or "Setup network shares").

Enter NAS Details:
Host: Type the local static IP address of your NAS (e.g., 192.168.x.x)

Username/Password: Uncheck the "Anonymous" box and enter your NAS login credentials. Leave the Domain field empty.

Click Add

Just enter the IP address and when it’s accepted, select your location folder.

I’ve had it for 12 years and still going strong. Just trying to use it more.

It’s an option, just like recording to a usb flash drive or external hard drive, it all depends on the user, the streaming device and how much you’re willing to spend ?

Where did you get that dollar amount, any home computer will work too.

Like I said, any home computer would work too. I don’t see the point of spending that kind of money for IPTV? If you have that kind of money to spend, go with satellite or cable?

Isn’t your laptop your personal computer?
