Yeah it's rather annoying. A slightly newer version of twonky was released recently (7.0.9 special) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet to see if it fixes the problem. I'm running serviio at the moment and that seems to work fine with the humax!
I have the same issue with my Freeview HD recordings (with 5.1 AAC). You will also find that VLC crashes when you try to seek within a video file that contains muti-channel audio and stereo audio (during adverts).
OK so after some time spent testing I isolated the device that was causing the problem. It was a twonkymedia server (kirkwood-special-7.0.8) running on my Synology NAS. I have since removed the server from the network and my Hummy is happy again.
Thanks for the help chaps.
Yeah I thought it was strange, I've never had problems with CF before.
Thanks Chris, i'm going to try some further troubleshooting today to see if I can isolate what could be creating the issue on the network.
Well I had the 500GB model before it went for repair. The menu reports that it is a 500GB drive. Webif reports 447.6GB as the total capacity of the drive.
I just attempted a format (well several attempts) and got this:
"Cannot Format the Hard Disk. The capacity is too large"
So perhaps my issues is actually another dodgy hard drive. I've also just noticed that the warranty void sticker on my box is broken (from the repair obviously) but isn't...
I don't think that will help, I have only just received my Humax back from the shoddy repair centre with new a hard drive (or at least a replacement.)
Is there any possibility that a hard change could have caused this problem?
OK thanks Black Hole, I rolled the firmware back to 1.02.20 vanilla and the problems persists! So I have no idea what is wrong with the box.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could modify the content sharing function?
Hey af123, thanks for your response.
I was running on the 1.02.20_mod_2.00_upgrade (I think) so if it's necessary I might try rolling back to that (is that possible?). The packages are the same, in fact I think I have installed less this time round.
I just tried switching Content Sharing...
Hi Chaps,
I have an issue with my newly fixed (8 weeks to replace the hard drive :( ) Humax HDR Fox T2. Before it left my care, my hummy was working perfectly with the custom firmware. I had content sharing on 24/7 plus unencrypt, rsync etc.
When my Hummy was finally delivered last week...
Hey Bluud, did you every discover how to fix this issue?
I too have these random crashes/restarts on the HDR-Fox T2 when content sharing is switched on (in a network environment with a twonky server.)
Switching content sharing off isn't a great solution, as I need it for DLNA and...
Ok cool, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Without any background knowledge in Linux its pretty impossible for me to troubleshoot the problem :S
Oh and I checked the key, all appears on one line.
Well I had a go with VI as scp is disabled on my NAS and I'm running Windows on my PC (so I don't know how I would go about editing the file.) This is what I have achieved so far:
Cleared any existing .ssh directory and created a new .ssh directory in /mod by:
Connect via SSH to the Humax
rm...
The NAS is running Busybox with an ash shell profile. So it is simply just a case of copying the key fingerprint information that appears when running the Dropbearkey command, into a new file called authorized_keys on the NAS?
I have created a ".ssh" folder on my NAS, and using
touch...
Thanks very much, although much of my success is blind trial and error.
Thanks for the dropbearkey command af123, I've managed to set up the .ssh/ folder and create the id_rsa key. However doing this only seems to create a public key, and at no point was I prompted to create a password (albeit...
Good spot, I will change that thanks.
The Synology is capable of using UNIX SSH keys.
I'm using these 2 guides for setting up keys:

The first issue I have run in to is the fact that running
ssh-keygen -t rsa...
While I await your instructions on setting up keypairs, I thought I would have a go at running rsync in a SSH environment. I enabled SSH on my Synology Diskstation then opened up a SSH connection in Putty to the the Humax and ran the following command:
humax# rsync -avr --delete --progress...
Ah I see, thank you for replying.
There is an issue that I neglected to put in the original post, my Synology requires a password before the rsync command can be run.
Now I understand I can just store a default password for rysnc on the Humax (although my attempts to do this failed?) but...
