Any box that has a high content on recordings and movies need moving onto my nas or other box it seems my oscam freezes while files are been transferred and no picture can be viewed until its finished . I can view recordings while files are been transferred to other location.
Trying to cast mind back to mgcamd if this happened or was on fta.

Is this a normal thing while box is busy.
 
How are you transferring the files? From your PC or the box?
Most of what I watch is FTA but I was struggling to do anything with my recordings list when an actual recording was taking place at the same time.
I now record most things to a temp folder on my NAS and then use a script on a cron timer to move them to my recordings folder at 5am.

Box to box as never used a pc for doing it.
5 am good time to see sunrise .
As all boxes have hdd its easier to record to it.
 
Depends on what you record and if in separate folders and how long you keep it on the box I suppose.
I've got another script that I use to delete anything that is over 2 weeks old.
 
No folders and some stuff could go back 5 or 6 years or it could be days ago and all sat movies or tv related stuff.
