Hi, The FOX HDR T2 failed, so i am decrypting those programmes i had not seen, are not available on internet (officially), or those i want to keep, such as documentaries and science programmes. I will transfer them across to the HDR-1800T and see how it handles them with the modified HMT file...

Hi, I had the Fox HDR T2 and now have the HDR-1800T (i selected that one as it had the lowest power consumption). If the files are optional, then i will just copy across the unencrypted TS files. Thanks for the link to the HMT format - will see how it goes without those files, reducing the need...

Hi, Thanks - just checking. I will attempt to edit it manually. There are many recordings don't want to lose. Regards, Shadders.

Hi, Just ran the code as per page 18 - and as per same page changed : key = bytearray.fromhex("00000000....") To key = bytes.fromhex("000000000...") Converted the file and plays via VLC - and can now watch American Dad and others i missed. :) Should be able to run this on the recovered Humax...

Hi, Thanks - yes, meant VLC. I have been searching and reading most posts, but i never got to page 18 on this thread. There are many threads on this subject. Looks like the python code is exactly what i need. Thanks for pointing me to it. Much appreciated. Regards, Shadders.

Hi, I examined the scripts-linux executable code using a text editor, and it seems some of the text present refers to : DES_ECB DES_EDE_ECB I tried both and that which did not raise an error was : openssl enc -d -nopad -des-ede -K "key" -in ***.ts -out ***_dec.ts Previous errors were the...

Hi, Thanks - i tried stripsts and although i have openssl installed, the library version is 1.1 as opposed to 1.0, hence will not run. I think the program uses DES, but there are many DES algorithms to choose from. Thanks and regards, Shadders.

Hi, from the wiki link you provided : "This utility removes portions of a recording (*.TS File) that aren't required and can account for up to 20% of its space," I did not want to strip out any information. If the transport stream is block encoded, the openssl can decrypt. I just checked the...

Hi, Thanks for the wiki link - had not seen that. What i wanted to do is use openssl - such that the file is not stripped of those aspects that strip removes. Therefore, is the encryption algorithm stated anywhere, and is the key ascii or does stripts convert to base64 or other ? Thanks and...

Hi, I have a Humax Fox T2 recorder, and it has now completely failed. I want to recover the files on the disk, but in searching multiple threads, i am unable to determine the encryption used for the ts files. I was going to use openssl on my Linux PC to decrypt the files. Has anyone tried this...
