Whilst I'm trying to figure this out, I'm jus trying to edit some filenames via a mapped drive from windows 10 to My Music folder but it's telling me that i require permission from HUMAX\root to make changes. I've gone into the mnt/hd2/mod/etc/smb.conf and changed it so that the user (settop)...

Just wanted to check if there has been any further progress on this. I have infact moved on to the beta SMB package (3.6.25-1). I'd like to add an extra user. do I need to follow this comment about adding it into the passwd file: How do I add it into /etc/passwd. Through a normal text editor?

it's a fibre cable to the premises, new little square box into the house, small white fibre cable going into the box - openreach came and installed. I can only hope I'll get 80/20 but erratic upload speed needs to be measured over a little while to see what it is really. Time will tell :)

It is FTTP but I chose to go with the lower speed package. I will try the old laptop ubuntu route but that too is limited to 100Mbps network card - but I'm more interested in checking upload speed to be onest as it was that which was fluctuating.

ok, so that sounds like it might be easier then to turn on my old laptop (running ubuntu (14) mate) and let that test the line over time. Thanks Rodp

From 36Mb/s copper to 74Mb/s fibre (worked out cheaper after a bit of hagling!). The upload speed is double what I used to get but seems to be a little erratic and so I wanted to take some measurements over time to see how it varied.

Hi all, Just changed my broadband package and would like to run and record some regular speedtests for a little while and wondered as my hdr is on most of the time, is there something that could do this on there already. I came across...

Thanks All for your support on this - that's great, and thank you @prpr. I think we would have been waiting a long time for me to work it out and get it working https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/webif-feature-requests.10982/page-2#post-172252

Well if people don't mind me breaking their humax then I'm game! ;) To be honest, I'll probably just look at the.Jim file in notepad ++ and change the expiration from 14 to 60 days as I wouldn't know where to start in terms of adding a new section to the webif settings page, nor creating an...

It becomes useful when your kids mess around with the humax accidentally deleting scheduled items and I've been busy for a few weeks so not realised what's happened. :) So having a longer backup will help. Found the feature request thread and have added an item. It's odd as I wasn't aware of...

As per this thread: https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/change-expiration-setting-of-auto-backup-of-recording-schedule-recovering-older-backup-schedules.11194/ Please could it be made possible to change the expiration for the auto schedule backup process, say to upto 2 months instead of currently 14...

I've looked around on the webif UI but can't find anything. Could this be made configurable in the future then? Is there a wish list thread somewhere on this community? :):thumbsup_:

Hi All, I need to revert back to a recording schedule backup from about 2 months ago, but the normal list only goes back 14 days. I found them in /mnt/hd2/mod/var/backup but the list is the same as per what you see in the webif UI. How likely will it be to retrieve an older version using some...

Sorry and one other point to make.... from this experience, linux overall doesn't seem to be that easy to undelete files, which I was rather surprised about. It's alot less painful in a windows environment and photrec or r-undelete seem to be able to do a better job even without have to...

HDD back in! Here are my findings. As Black Hole suggested, recovery was more about the state of the file system and hiw tidy and unchanged since deleting it was. Photorec tried its hardest and recovered various portions of the files but couldn't recover whole files. It also didn't return...
