That makes me a little nervous as it looks like the fan’s not turning at all, and the old disk was definitely warm when I removed it - is that due to the custom FW, or potentially a hardware fault? I realised that too late too - but equally I was concerned that the old disk might go at any...

Something very odd's going on with stuff, that's for sure! My settings were similar, but the logging of scan information wasn't set. Recordings (old and new) suddenly repeatedly stopped playing, locking the entire recorder up until I pulled the power. When I logged into the WebIf to see about...

Thanks for this - the drive on my HDR Fox T2 is about to go and for some reason regardless of my setting the Auto-Decrypt option on the folder or my moving recordings in/out it's resolutely refused to decrypt the recordings, whereas this has finally worked a treat!

Odd. I've only had one email, and that was MymsMan's - I've had nothing else before or after, even though I've now been checking back on the main site. Hey-Ho, it's not a problem, just unexpected :)

I had, but hadn't got any emails. Strangely, without changing a single setting, I got an email with your above reply in(!). Oh well... :)

Thanks both, and apologies for the late reply; I was expecting an email alert when I got replies but haven't had anything :( Those are both good ideas, so I'll have a look into both and see what works best for me - anything I can automate is a definite thumbs-up in my book :)

Hi, I've got a NAS box running Plex, and I want to have NAS periodically scan the Humax for new recordings which have been decrypted. I think RSS would be a great solution, but can't see anything in the packages which creates an RSS feed of the Humax recordings, so thought I'd ask here to see...

Has anyone identified what might be causing the problems, or does anyone have any advice on what I could do to debug further? It's definitely not an Internet connection issue as I can get iPlayer on various other devices at the same time, plus the portal loads fine, I just get the 02001 error...

Im not sure whether this is the same thing or not, but within the last few weeks my HDR has suddenly stopped playing any iPlayer content :( The App loads & all the content's loaded in, but when I try to play anything (HD or SD, controlled via the main settings) I get the error: Something went...

Thanks - I'd read the decrypt article before but missed the click-through as I thought it was a link to installing the customized firmware, which I've been gleefully using for the past few years! I'll digest that all and have a crack at it. Thanks for your thoughts :)

Thanks for the quick reply. If I went down the first route you suggest, would that mean that all content would live on the NAS and not the HDR? I'm keen to keep the content on the box locally, but have it accessible elsewhere for other devices. That being said, I suspect that way might...

Hi all. I've just got hold of a QNAP TS-253 Pro with a view to backing up my recordings from the HDR Fox-T2 so that I don't run out of space and can view content around the house on other devices. The NAS is relatively powerful, with an Intel x86 processor and up to 8GB of ram, plus there are...

Thanks - that looks to have fixed the empty packages list problem. For the benefit of others, the steps were: Run opkg install webif --force-reinstall via the diagnostics page on WebIf Switch off the box and wait for HD to click off Swith the box back on Navigate to the WebIf Click the link to...

I've just been debugging a problem with the custom portal which I gather is due to a lack of compatibility with the latest firmware update when I realised that I can't see any items in the Package Management list for Installed, Available or Upgrades. I've had a look through the forum and...

Quick update - it all looks to be working now - or, at very least, it's currently working when I force updates via the rs/checkin and rs/test commands and reboots of the T2. I've been able to add and remove scheduled items via the RS website as well as removing them via the WebIf and seeing...
