Yes this type of arrangement works and does not seem to recurse. I have an ext HDD with two partitions for the HD box which mount as drive1 and drive2. The HDR is nfs mounted with network automount as downstairs and decrypted plays with full control. Both external "drives" are auto mounted...

I seem to recall that my first post was in the thread titled 'WebIF "Shrink" option'. Apologies Black Hole, I don't know how to cross reference to other threads.

My original approach used ffmpeg to copy the streams within the files. The "by-product" was a file without the extra packets that confuses Smart TVs. af123's solution is far more efficient and the credit is his and adrianf26. I now use stripts as I couldn't get ffmpeg to work with HiDef files.

Stripts with either -f or -F creates files that work on the Panasonic. Yes, the command as quoted using telnet is what's needed to perform a transformation manually.

I had a look - it was modified 6 June 2012. Still, gone now without taking anything with it. Thanks for the clarification everyone.

I found that the webif embedded version of stripts does not create files that can be used on my Panasonic, but stripts -f does. This is the switch option I use within in the script.

I'll try that later. Thanks.

This is a webif question driven by the IR thread HERE and a need to re-position the media library's pointer to the top of the media tree. webif already knows if the Humax is playing something; if Web-if knows where it is playing as well as what, then I'm thinking that this potentially becomes...

It's definitely an "All" folder. I didn't delete it way back when as I didn't want any unforeseen loss of recordings. But if no-one else has it then I guess it can safely go. I had looked through the various db files hoping there'd be a record kept in one of the tables but nothing jumped out...

My HDR was brand new - or so I thought - and has an All folder in My Video. I assumed it was some clever Linux filesystem thing that would get populated with links to every video, a bit like "All Songs" on a music player or indeed the list that gets presented to dlna clients. It's never...

Loaded up IR last week, absolutely awesome. Thanks af123. Two questions... (1) When the standard page is viewed on an iphone, the macro recorder dialog obscures the media and menu buttons so that they can't be used to start a macro. My PC is upstairs and no where near the TV so my first...

Just posted an update on the original thread HERE.

A couple of people have enquired after this thread - I'll cross-reference to those new threads I've spotted. I've not posted the script because I wasn't sure what the rules are about putting scripts out in the wild - can anyone advise what the proper procedure is? There's another script I'm...

Not done an awful lot on the script over the summer - there's been too much good telly has been on so I've been watching rather than archiving. I've dumped the ffmpeg route I was working on in favour of stripts. The script itself is an amalgation of the concepts in nicesplice-magic-folders...

I ran it with both -F and -f switches to create two output files, but hadn't run plain. I've just run the utility without any switches on the same HD file just to rule out anything with the file. There was no segmentation fault and the output file works on the Humax with smooth FF. The...
