    Is it possible to trigger NASMount to mount a NAS when that NAS starts up?

    Steps for Resolving HDR-FOX Crash/Reboot Issues (and other hardware problems)

    Ovens and paint strippers are for gung-ho types who don't mind if it all goes tits-up. Of course you have little to lose, but IMO the chance of success is so minimal as to be pointless, at risk of additional damage. There is a fundamental problem using an oven in that everything will get...

    Is it possible to trigger NASMount to mount a NAS when that NAS starts up?

    It would have helped if I had spelt it correctly, I had several attempts none of which "looked right". Temporary aberration (but they're becoming frequent). I'll forget my own name next.

    This should be in the Forum Issues section.

    Copy/backup from one Humax to another

    That is a misconception. auto-unprotect only removes the flag which prevents a recording being decrypted, it does not decrypt the recording. That is a separate process, and you cannot play a recording made on one 'fox on another 'fox unless you do something about it. The only naïve way to "do...

    Copy/backup from one Humax to another

    So long as you are aware of encryption issues and take appropriate measures (eg decrypt everything first, and/or set the encryption keys to be the same for both units), of course it is possible. The way I would do it (bearing in mind I haven't) is to make one unit an extension of the other's...

    Can't access Humax via WiFi with Linux Mint- Solved

    My thoughts are this is just a coincidence. Timeout responding to HTTP requests is not that unusual, although I'm surprised ping didn't work. That implies something not working between the "laptop" and the HDR-FOX. Whatever it was sorted itself out (perhaps poked by the previous access...

    No teletext causes odd pop-up

    Menu >> Settings >> System >> System Information >> System ID = 80BC.7E00 for HDR-FOX and 806C.7000 for HD-FOX. However, I didn't spot it as my "office" unit is a HD-FOX and the HD-FOX crash dump doesn't include the System ID string. It is odd that the 2000T seems to have the same System ID as...

    No teletext causes odd pop-up

    I call it the most interesting thing in Hummyland for ages. The OP found something new, 15 years into HDR-FOX ownership. I admit this may be purely academic, with no practical benefit, but how much else started like that? Is it generated within the SoC itself, or using firmware Humax were...

    Is it possible to trigger NASMount to mount a NAS when that NAS starts up?

    It's your funeral, not ours. Do it whatever way you like. We can only advise (and any advice given is purely voluntary – there is no beef). Perhaps it does make some sense, if you mean the NAS script Telnets into the Foxsat to send the command for the Foxsat to run. But it doesn't really...

    Oh FFS. I downloaded Google's rip of an 1895 print lodged in the Bodleian in 1896. So all the way through I've been befuddled by the reader having an affectation! Stand down.
