I did rset and reinstalled the CF. This worked and I was able to download all the webif packages. So, it's sorted out. I still can't play recorded proprammes on my laptop despite having VLC add-on in Firefox and VLC active-x in Internet Explorer but I couldn't do that any way - so never mind...
I ran fix-disk from the Maintenance Mode Menu. Output follows -
Running /bin/fix-disk
Custom firmware version 3.03
Checking disk sda
Unmounted /dev/sda1
Unmounted /dev/sda2
Unmounted /dev/sda3
Running short disk self test
No pending sectors found - skipping sector repair

OK. I ran the "general" diagnostic from telnet and everything passed. I then selected 1 and the HDR went into Maintenance Mode. I waited until Maintenance Mode showed on the front panel. The video had frozen at this point but I could still hear the audio. I closed the PuTTY console and opened it...
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit. I have downloaded an installed SSH-PuTTY. I ran this and telnetted into the HDR Fox T2. PuTTY is giving me an 8-choice menu. I have selected "Run a diagnostic". PuTTY is now asking me which one? This is fair question. I haven't got a clue. Can someone help...
Can't do it Black Hole. I get basically the same error message focussing on "Could not lock /tmp/opkg.lock: Resource temporarily unavailable."
However I did manage to delete webif altogether. If I go to the ip number for the web page I can see the message that says that
the custom firmware...
Well, if I go to "Package Management", click the "Upgrades" tab, go to the webif package and click the upgrade button
I do eventually get an error message, below. It seems to be telling me to run 'opkg update'. How do I do that? Thanks.

Hi, I just ugraded to 1.03.12_mod_3.03 on my HDR Fox T2. Seemed to go ok. I got reboot loops when I turned back on so I ran the System Flush Update file. This solved the problem and everything seemed to work OK. Portal works fine and I can get iPlayer. I decided to upgrade the Webif and got the...
Any idea how I go about changing the DLNA IP address or is this set automatically? My network uses
fixed IPs. Also, is it necessary to have the VLC add-on installed in the browser? I don't know what
"the DLNA server" actually is. Thanks for any suggestions.
I use Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 32bit with Firefox 28 and Windows7 64bit with IE11 on separate PCs. I get the same result on both systems. Both systems have VLC installed. Not sure if they both have the VLC add-on too. The recorded BBC 2 programmes I am trying to watch with VLC using the WI are all...
rpb424 in your posts you write "If you set up the webif to decrypt all files in place shortly after they are created then you can stream any Humax content across the network." and later "VLC works fine". My problem is that the VLC player window displays black and if I click that I get a...
I am using HDR-Fox T2 with software FHTCP 1.03.12. If I use the web interface everything seems to be working fine. The problem is that if I select a recorded programme and double click the link a dialogue box opens headed "Media Details". This has "Play" and "Close" buttons at the bottom right...
I've got the Humax HDR-Fox T2 running FHTCP 1.03.12. I have it connected to my network wirelessly using a USB dongle. It all seems to be working fine. I can watch programmes recorded on the HDR-Fox T2 from my laptop anywhere I can connect to my wifi. Is it possible to watch live tv from the...
I am now wirelessly connected thanks to Black Hole's suggestion in Post 6. I got into the router and turned on DHCP with a range starting from 192.168.2.200 so that it misses all my manually set IPs (which are below 200). Then I plugged the ethernet into the HDR and went to...
Come on now people. This is starting to read like some dialogue from "The Big Bang Theory", not that there's anything wrong with that. I am extremely grateful and have learned a lot about DHCP ranges etc. I'll try MikeSh's suggestion of re-booting at the critical moment and look into buying some...
All these posts are very helpful and I can now see a way to do what I want although I'll have to go back into the router and change some settings.
I got round the problem of the dongle/HDR not listing my wifi by moving the dongle from the front panel USB to the back USB. Then when I searched...
Thanks Black Hole. Are you saying that it is possible to operate some devices with manually set IPs and some devices with DHCP set IPs providing that I select a DHCP range that doesn't interfere with the manual IPs? So, an example might be - turn DHCP on at the router - set the range as 5,6,7,8...
Right I've installed the customised firmware and the web interface. All went very smoothly. I can access the web interface OK. As you correctly surmise I have indeed set Configure LAN >> Configure IP to 'Manual'. However once I unplug the Ethernet and plug in the dongle it seems that the IP...
