Many thanks for the suggestion Using name matching it did show me where I had duplicates in different folders but I couldn't work out how to match the two name formats even though that is claimed as one of its features But using content matching it did find 122 duplicates in 11K recordings - I...

A bit batter heavy but actually a very nice twist on the traditional AT and at £15 for 2 with Buyagift Discount codes very good value for money

Talk about a click bait headline! minor shuflling of LGTBQ channels that most of that community probably don't watch either

I don't understand why RS would still be issuing clash messages after the scheduled tiime for the recordings. are they series episodes that are now conflicting on next weeks episodes? Failed recording is a different error and email from a recording clash, It is a generated when a solo .hmt...

I don'r know what I did, but it was a long time ago. Strangely both copies of the file have exactly the same time stamp, size, etc so not an accident of duplicate riipping but something later that preserved the time stamps whilst creating duplicates. I also have albumns with no duplicates but...

Somehow my music library has numerous albumns with duplicate entries: nn Track title.mp3 and nn Track title-Artist.mp3 Obviously I would like a quick, easy and cheap solution to get rid of the duplicate entries which apart from file name are identical (sizes, dates, attributes) Any suggestion?

I cant remember if PC was was sold as Win 11 installed, or Win 11 ready and upgraded shortly afterwards In any event PC was bought in 2023 and only installed DvrOnTime on it earlier this year when previous win 10 computer finally gave up.

I have DvrOnTime running on windows 11 without problems. About the the only change i made (as far as my aged memory goes) was to change the windows service setting to always restart following a failure The other hassle is finding and disabling all the sleep options in Windows to keep it awake -...

I suffer from periodic zero length recordings and haven't yet managed to figure out what causes them to occur

I remapped Portal as 'skip to next bookmark' to make it easier to skip the ad-breaks but OPT would be a good alternative. If you are trying to remap some other remote for use with a humax and are not sure what code a button is producing you can use DIAG (via command line or diagnostics web...

IF you can achieve 10MBs then a full backup would take about 10.5 hours so just about possible on a daily basis, but I still think it would be better to do a full backup (possibly over several days) and then incremental backups of newer recordings on a daily basis, Somehow you would need...

How many full copies do you need! Once you have made your first full copy it would be faster to make duplicates on another machine - the Humax has a pretty slow USB transfer speed. Obviously some copies should be moved offsite for safety. There is little point in backing up every day recordings...

The simplest would be to plug a USB drive into the box and manually start copies of the latest recordings as part of your daily ritual

or the strip of tissue paper test Ideally install the Fan package and set it to run at a constant 70% and the Tempmon package to warn if the temperature goes above 50

In my experience VLC is one of the few apps that will play .ts and .m2ts files, will your TV allow you to install VLC as an app BTW the humax recordings are actually m2ts format mislabeled with a .ts suffix. The difference from real ts format is a timestamp in each frame header
