Hi, Thanks again for the explanation. Yesterday I noticed the rmvdisks scripts didn't work due to the gpt mount point: It has this... if echo $mp | grep -q "^/media/drive" ; then When I probably need to do something like this... if echo $mp | egrep -q "^/media/drive|^/media/gpt-drive" ; then...

Hi, I had quite alot to archive off my main disk to an exfat USB drive. It's quite hard work doing this via the web interface, plus the dlna server uses an index id for the file name which can be confusing. I wrote a script to automate this but made it into a simple one-liner that builds a...

Strangely I already have mvdisks installed. I'll see if there are any other options...

Thanks, this does seem to be the same problem. Just 2 annoyances with this solution... 1. When booting the Humax, you are confronted with a menu option to select a device (just because the usb device was present at bootup). I can press "back" to get rid of it, but is there any way to turn it...

You've fixed it! That package seemed to do the trick. Strangely usb-drive1 and usb-drive2 show no files, but now using blue button for storage, I can select the exfat drive - which is good enough for me. Thanks for your help!

Yes I think the problem is exfat. If I use a FAT32 usb stick, I can see the device under storage (blue). The drive is also mounted as usb-drive1 under "My Videos" just like ext3... humax# df -h | grep sda1 /dev/sda1 7.2G 5.2G 2.0G 72% /media/drive1 /dev/sda1...

Hmm under Media -> Storage (blue button) I get 2 options - HDD and Network. The HDD seems to be the internal ext3 hard disk. Maybe exfat drives don't show up here. I could try with ntfs or fat32. The drive is automatically mounted (/dev/sda1) as fuseblk which I guess is exfat. humax# mount...

Thanks for the reply. I have the exfat support package installed but it mounts the drive under /media/gpt-drive1 which is not part of "/mnt/hd2/My Video" where all the encrypted videos live. I was just wondering if an non-ext3 device could be mounted under here. It doesn't seem possible by...

Hi, I've just decrypted my archive and it would be more convenient to put the videos on exfat filesystem as it tends to be the most portable for me (without the size limitations of fat32). Is it possible to plug in an exfat formatted USB drive and play the videos directly on the Humax, or can...

Hi Thouky, This is exactly what I have seen - 3.0.3 means your hard disk is not detected, but with 3.0.2 there's no problem at all. We know that new SATA drivers were included with 3.0.3 release, so as you say, it looks like an issue with this type of hard disk and the new SATA drivers. We...

One last thing to note. When my hard disk disappeared, the Humax box automatically disabled Content Share. This is needed if you want to auto-unprotect recordings or if you want to run as a DLNA server. When the hard disk is detected again (after firmware roll-back), this option isn't...

Thanks for checking. I think it must be down to the new SATA driver, it probably won't detect my WD disk. No big deal, but worth noting in case other people have similar problems.

Here you go... humax# fdisk -lu Disk /dev/sda: 2000.3 GB, 2000365289472 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243197 cylinders, total 3906963456 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 3906963455...

Ahh OK - perhaps it's that new SATA driver in 3.0.3 then. Just for everyone's benefit, here's the hard disk model I'm using: humax# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD20EURX-63T Rev: 80.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI...

Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I see now there is a standard kernel download for 1.3.12 in the Firmware Downloads section of the wiki. Unfortunately I still run 1.02.32 due to the EPG lag introduced in 1.3.x so I'm waiting for Humax to fix this. It might be a long wait. :-) I'll...
