Not currently.
Sorry this isn't a particularly helpful answer. If you can mount the
NAS using, say, NFS, then I suspect your problem will go away.
Another suggestion, the fruit of mildly bitter experience: Use a
directory on your internal drive as your get_iplayer output location
and then use --command to automatically dispatch the finished file to
your NAS and clean it up if the copy is successful. If you do have
intermittent problems with samba, at least you'll have clean versions
of your programmes.
If you use an external drive as your get_iplayer output location,
ffmpeg will read the entire FLV file over the network then write the
entire re-muxed file back over the network. Then AtomicParsley will
read the entire re-muxed file back over the network, manipulate it a
bit, write the entire tagged file back over the network to a temporary
location, then swap it for the final file in the NAS location. For an
hour of HD TV, that means you're moving a total of 4-5 GB back and
forth, which can be pretty slow depending on your set-up, not to
mention the added scope for samba problems to crop up.
Unfortunately, I don't really have room on the local disk; it's an Acer
Aspire One netbook with only an 8Gb SSD drive and I have to regularly
clean up the downloaded update debs just to avoid being pestered by "low
storage" warnings :-(
I'll look into the NFS option, but I'm not sure if the drive (a Buffalo
LinkStation) supports it without replacing the firmware.
Andy.
