Doh! Turned it off then on again to read the firmware version off the front panel to find that it's on 3.1. Also, NOW, it's downloading the web interface. Problem solved I think. If in doubt, reboot! ;-)

Our Humax HDR T2 had been getting increasingly flaky over the last year and the number of HD error reported via the web interface was getting ever higher so I took the plunge and fitted a new 2TB hd. I formatted it via the menu under "settings" and all seems well. I can make recordings and all...

An easy one to mistake, especially considering read and, um "read". Fortunately I wasn't too traumatised by your faux pas. ;-) Tim

Ah ha, found it. ;-) I had seen the bit about auto decrypt but missed that it could be applied to the parent folder.

Ah, okay. Is there a way to set it up to decrypt automatically then? Also, is there any point in keeping the original files once decrypted?

Ah ha! Decrypted HD files DO appear in VLC. More progress. ;-) Any suggestions as to why I have to decrypt when other folk don't? Just curious.

Okay, it seems to be adding green icons to the HD recordings (but no "Dec" symbols) They still don't play though. I can't even see any of the episodes of a series within a folder (in VLC). Just puzzled as to why my HD recordings (with the green symbol) aren't showing at all in their folders...

Okay, I can now play my SD recordings on my iPad and iPhone using VLC so making progress! Maybe it's a quirk of VLC but it only shows me files in folders. Single recordings that aren't in folders on the Humax just don't appear on VLC. Lastly, I've installed auto-unprotect (and rebooted the...

Thank you. That was indeed the problem. In the dim and distant past we must have set an "off" time as it was set to power off at 01:59. Hopefully that problem is sorted now.

I've already found out about the lack of a "wake on LAN" function but I'm not sure why my Humax is going to sleep in the first place with both power saving functions set to "off". That's what's puzzling me. Regarding playback, maybe an IOS issue?

Just installed the custom firmware and finding my way around al the options. Two early problems I seem to be having is that I can't access my Humax (HDR fox T2) over my network if it's gone to sleep. Waking it up with the remote is the only way to restore access. I have checked the power saving...
