I hadn't heard of Winboat before, mainly used Wine and Bottles. I downloaded the AppImage to see how it differs. Quite significantly it turns out. I stopped on the prerequisites. It runs a full Windows VM using KVM and a docker container. Windows Apps are made available on the Linux desktop as...

I tested today, deleting two seasons of Invasion using the remote control without issue. The removal was verified on the Nas. Started video playback, exited playback, then deletion = no issue While mounted on Virtual USB = no issue While mounted under My Video = no issue

Excellent. Successfully mounted my Synology shared folder on the Humax. :thumbsup: The issue was indeed the need to have the UNC path included. mount -t cifs //192.168.x.x/video "/media/My Video/Synology" -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx,unc=\\\\192.168.x.x\\video @phd Make sure you have the...

Great. Thanks prpr I thought Samba and cifs were different. Samba being the server and cifs being the client. Was clutching at straws :thumbsdown: I'll try adding the UNC part and see how I get on. mount -t cifs //192.168.0.nnn/Video "/media/My Video/MediaShare" -o...

Does the Samba 3 package include an updated cifs client? Edit: Ignore @prpr answered my question in another thread. He confirmed the cifs client and samba server packages are different. They would have separate packages in any event.

Just to add that I have verified the user name and password are good. I'm able to connect / mount the shared folder on my linux machine using the same credentials. Edit: It just occurred to me to ask if the Samba service must be enabled in order to mount a remote share. My next test I think!!

@phd, Your post peaked my interest. Over the last week I've made several attempts to manually mount my Synology (DS723+) shared folder on the Humax. Unfortunately each has been unsuccessful. Each time giving the error "no such file or directory". I don't have the beta samba package installed...

Most Linux desktops do support SMB as standard, typically via gvfs-smb on gnome based distro's or kio-fuse on KDE. The file managers make the process of connecting to SMB shares very easy. Many distro's don't include smb 1.0 support by default for security, hence the need to install cifs-utils...

Yes, you can connect to the Humax's SMB 1.0 share from Linux Mint. 1. Confirm the samba service is running on the humax via webif's service management page. 2. Install the cifs-utils package on mint. sudo apt install cifs-utils 3. Create a directory on Mint for the mount. e.g sudo mkdir...

There's been quite a few package updates in the last two weeks. Are there any release notes detailing the changes or new features these offer? Automatically upgraded package webif-channelicons from 1.2.18 to 1.2.19 Automatically upgraded package tunefix-update from 1.0.159 to 1.0.160...

According to xyz321's post #1 on the samba 3 beta thread, the username is root with no (empty) password.

The OP is likely referring to the "which version" wiki that lists v1.03.12 with the disadvantage of a "Slow on-TV Guide" for stock and customised FW versions. I recall slower EPG navigation using the remote control up / down buttons. Using the page up / down buttons is a good workaround...

Many thanks for the reboot option. I've been wishing the feature existed for some time. :doublethumbsup:

I occasionally see a disk reallocated sector count increase warning displayed by the web interface and typically perform a long fixdisk check overnight when noticed. If I thereafter forget to exit maintenance mode next morning, my box misses the scheduled recordings. I'd like my HDR Fox T2 to...
