Cheers. Which should I keep? Does it rename the original with .dec and then create a new file with the original name? Timestamps are the same for both as far as I can see so I can't tell which came first.

Hi, Since reinstating automatic decryption a week or so ago, we've had a few recent programs appear in the Media listing duplicated, one with suffice "-DECRYPT" in the displayed name. Looking in media from the web page, or with FTP these have the original file name but with "dec" at the end...

Don't you need the on-screen menus to setup the network?

Thanks. No I haven't tried the v-format button. I'll give that a go. I assume "boot-settings" is part of the custom firmware in which case I can't try that unless I get the thing displaying properly in the first place. Different HDMI cables were used when I swapped the Humax with the DVD, in...

Thanks again. It looks like I might have more problems, the replacement shows the same fault .. https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/humax-hdr-fox-t2-blank-green-screen-output-on-hdmi.9895/

Hi. Our old Humax started showing a fault where a second or so after booting up it switches to displaying a blank green screen. It's been tested with different HDMI inputs on the TV, for example swapping with the DVD player. The inputs work OK with the DVD, Also tested with a different TV...

Thanks again. I've enabled auto decrypt on the old box and it's now completed. I think my tests on .ts to .mp4 conversion must have been done using encrypted files. On the PC now I can either play the .ts directly or convert with various tools I have to hand. I think it makes sense to leave...

OK thanks I think I'm sorted now. I know exactly what happened, when we got our first Humax I researched all the custom firmware options and functions and set things up to suit. When that first box failed and I setup its replacement (our current box) I went mostly from memory, and must have...

Thanks everyone. Yes I neglected to set auto decryption on this Humax, so I guess my options are now .. (1) decrypt on the box, (2) FTP off and do the offline decrypt or (3) set Custom Decryption Key on the replacement box to be the same as the old one. The fault with the current machine is...

Thanks for the comments, maybe you're right. However, I think I've been misunderstanding decryption of HD recordings. I'm running the "auto-unprotect" package and I've just realised that doesn't actually decrypt HD recordings, just removes the flag. Is there another package that actually...

Hi, I suppose this isn't strictly a custom firmware issue, but I wonder if there are any suggestions for the best way to convert the recordings in ".ts" format into MP4. This arises because our Humax is dying and there's some stuff I want to save and transfer to its replacement. Although we're...

Thanks, when I looked at the file system later on yesterday there were a couple of failed recordings not listed in the emails. Actually I should have guessed what was happening because the local network settings on the Humax had been playing up, forgetting its manual address and changing back...

Hi, I was wondering how to acknowledge or clear the Failed Recording emails, so that I won't get another one until next time a recording actually fails. The email I get every day lists six failed recordings in one folder (I found and deleted one zero length file in that directory a week or so...

Oops diag rs/sync comes up with a pile of stuff. And now we have the EPG! All looking good, thanks.

And the txinfo diagnostic ..
