Smart! I wouldn’t have thought of that in a million years. Works a treat. Thank you!

Many thanks: that explains it. Serves me right: I find that with all the diverse forums I want to follow, i.e. tig welding, router custom firmware, PicoScope, Rover, the Humax custom firmware forums for Foxsat and Fox T2 HDRs, I find I start to drift away, especially when things are going...

It seems to be good now. Here’s my Youtube package This time I left it for an hour. Between 17:10 and 17:58, I was seeing nothing, whereas I would previously see frequent updates giving the percentage downloaded. I guess I’ll just have to be more patient in future. Thank you both.

Sorry, it’s been ages since I was last here, so I’m very rusty, but when you say post in the Customised section of the forum, can you be more specific because I figured this forum - HD/HDR Fox T2 Customised Firmware - was the most appropriate? Many thanks.

Thank you so much for such a quick and comprehensive reply. I will work through your suggestions and report back.

I tried to download Wolf Hall episodes onto my HDR-T2 using the custom firmware download feature and copying and pasting the link from the iPlayer site. This has worked in the past, but the download never gets going. If I click on the episode in iPlayer, a dialogue opens asking me to confirm...

Update. Since I posted back in early September, my HDR Fox T2 has been running all the time, solid as a rock, flawlessly. Previously, it would have crashed/frozen perhaps half a dozen times since then. Also, I’ve used iPlayer in the Humax portal several times, which, previously was enough...

One reformat and fixdisk later, and the problem is gone. All the old files copied across. Many thanks.

I really meant special thanks to MymsMan for coming up with the solution to a problem that has perplexed me on and off for some 8 years, but thanks too for the inputs from Black Hole, prpr, MartinLiddle and aw1

Success and a bit of a breakthrough. I formatted the 2TB drive, fixdisk’d it and was able to copy all files across. But when I went to the Portal the box crashed. After trying a couple more times, with the unit crashing again, eventually I was able to get to iPlayer. But then I got...

Thanks, Luke. Looking closer, I now see that where there is a folder containing 2 or more episodes of a series, the thumbnails and correct dates are present on the programmes inside that folder, and I can fast forwards. Also, the Info does display when the button is pressed twice...

I’ve done something daft when copying the recordings from my 500GB drive to the new 2TB drive. Other than looking in the cfw gui, you wouldn’t know anything’s wrong: using the remote control to bring up Media shows all the recordings and plays them. However, when I look in Browse in gui, I see...

“Delinquent”, what a nice, appropriate word. In future, I will keep a sharp lookout for such files instead of letting my subconscious mind dismiss it with a fuzzy “wonder what that’s about”.

Since re-formatting the 2TB HDD, the HDR-FoxT2 is working perfectly: it passes the Portal iPlayer streaming test every time and is very stable - no more random freezes. I refitted the 1 TB Pipeline HDD hoping it would freeze the HDR in iPlayer so I could test whether or not deleting the...

Many thanks; I did in fact read that but shied away from it because I didn’t fully understand it and if I followed it, it’d be monkey-see, monkey-do fashion. However, I have that 1TB Pipeline HDD to play around with and, then with a better understanding, I could then set about the 2TB Video...
