Sweeper has a problem with shows with accented characters in the name. I am in Finland and the name of the 7pm news is in finnish (Seitsemän Uutiset). For all other shows sweeper moved the programme, ok, but for the 7pm news the length in the on screen browser showed zero mins. Looking via...

Webif can be corrected by editing the TZ defined in /mod/etc/init.d/S01mongoose but by doing that it does display the correct time but won't allow any schedules to be set that occur in the next 2h (2h is the difference UK - Finland) since it gives an error that shows in the past cannot have a...

There seem to be two on sale at Gigantti (finnish version of Dixons/Giganten) and from this forum people have said the BXR model is crippled like in Sweden http://www.gigantti.fi/search?WFSimpleSearch_NameOrID=humax

I think you can just rename an existing file and then run sweeper to see what it will do. i'm not sure how you rename the file with a utf-8 character in it though. One thing I have thought of is another sh script to rename the files and strip utf-8 characters from the filenames before sweeper...

Doing that doesn't help the web interface. I have the timezone adjusted to +2 in the service menu but the web interface still shows time two hours out. Also via telnet and FTP the times are two hours out (although not the filenames of recorded programmes which do show local time). Somewhat...

I started this thread to report what happens when you take a HDR FOX abroad, in this case to Finland. Some things work and some don't. Some cause trouble and some can be worked around. Finland has DVB with both UHF and VHF broadcasts (analogue was switched off well before the UK). Some...

it is related to utf-8 character set. That's why the single letter A with dots over it in "SeitsemÄn" appears as two characters in the filename or two question marks in ls output (one letter ends up as two bytes). tolower then crashes if a utf-8 character is in the string to convert.

thanks for the quick reply. I did some more checking and updated my original post. the problem is tolower used in function "strcontains". that function crashes the program with the accented characters. Is the language TCL ? I don't know it well enough to suggest what to do. Strip out all...

Sweeper doesn't like programme names with accents in them. perhaps this isn't that common but a show named like this "Seitsemän Uutiset_20131030_1900.ts" will crash sweeper and it doesn't process anything else. The auto script says "aborted" if I configure sweeper.conf to recognize a name (any...

To add something late to the discussion, I did the reverse of this and took a HDR FOX T2 from the UK to Finland. What works: Watching UHF TV channels through the antenna on the roof (called DVB-T in Finland). EPG shows a week's worth of programmes (more on this later though). Youtube will play...
