thanks for that Black Hole, I think understanding what has happened to that file precisely might be hard. It might in fact be easier to delete and copy again from one of the back ups (which is either an external HDD or the original suspect Humax HDD) and start the decrypting process from...

ah - i didn't know that - so is there any chance to decrypt it? or perhaps its corrupt? is there any way to find out whether the file is corrupt or whether I can salvage it? thank you!

hi everyone, apologies for silence, have been away and then had various problems with internet etc - so finally got that all sorted (for now!) some of the movies seem to be working fine, and some are not. not sure if the ones that are not are fixable though so would appreciate your thoughts...

thanks both, in general, it's the ones that are being moved (cut) are the ones that I'd want to delete - so hopefully that will work! After 'cutting' they remain in the folder? is that normal?

hi everyone an update from me - apologies for the silence - have been away. So, thanks to MymsMan, I managed to get that piece of software working - and it did the job! thanks for that - looks great. I now have a slightly odd file structure and a bunch of duplicates in different files. My...

yes, thanks - I think that this was the problem first time around - it was when I used the webif that it all worked

thanks - I wasn't sure if it went any faster - but they have now all copied over - will be trying your bit of code this afternoon! lucky you with a well behaved granddaughter!

thanks Black Hole - i didn't really want to leave the old drive lying around as I have a rather destructive 4 yo daughter... I'll try and do it in batches of 50 and see how i get on

in the meantime, I've been trying to copy files across from my 1tb hdd to the new 2tb humax - and have tried attaching to my laptop via SATA and then via FTP - but was very very slow - 0.1mb/s transfer rate (goes up to 20 and then slowly down) via SATA to the laptop and then connecting my...

aha! thanks for that - i was scratching my head (I did look at telnet but didn't dig into all of the menus to find command line)

hi all I've followed MymsMan's solution - have created the file but can't seem to access the Humax through the command line to run it (not experienced in using command lines). the files are in the Humax and under 'network' / Humax/ my video / my video - but I can't seem to access network...

Yes, you're right. It doesn't make sense now I come to think about it!... my thinking was (before you posted your solution): I have a bunch of recordings on the external HDD - with names in tact - why don't I just copy those across Also, I'm not sure whether I have all the files on the 1tb...

yes, thank you very much for that - I will definitely give it a try. I've been away so just trying to find time so that I can go through it slowly and make sure I get it right. I'm then going to try to sort this out once and for all! in the meantime, I have installed the 2tb drive into the Humax...

I renamed it manually - seems fine plays fine and shows up in media browser with the renamed title. Is there anyway to do this automatically?

thanks Black Hole, no, I didn't do anything - shall I rename it and then run 'update existing hmt file'?
