What is the point? If you want to put your storage somewhere else thats easy
to do but its not really a backend if it does not have a capture device.
I am not the OP, but I have thought about doing this. Two reasons why I
thought about it: 1) I have a nice dual-processor file server, would be
nice to have scheduling and transcoding done on it, and 2) My fileserver
is on all the time, it would be nice to set it up so that the fileserver
(master backend) told the slave backends to wake up when they have
something to record (electricity is expensive around here). Oh, and why
don't I put any capture cards in the fileserver? Because I don't have
any free slots, and I can't buy a USB capture device right now (too many
other priorities).
Of course I haven't tried it yet, but I am seriously thinking about it. :-)
