Thank you Black Hole. The DLNA query bit, how might I do that? From the command line, so that I can use it programatically.

Ok, but DLNA presents something to VLC to list the media that is available. I want to get at whatever that something is.

Using VLC we can determine the URL of media to download it: eg http://192.168.1.120:9000/web/media/7515.TS Presumably there is an xml file that VLC uses to determine the media URL. What is the path to that xml file, or how can that path be determined? Much appreciated Tony

Sorry for not paying attention! I stumbled across my own thread on an internet search for something else! It looks like a recap may be useful. On a Mac if you right click on an app you can "Show Package Contents". 3DC.app is an Applescript app and this is the Applescript: set scriptpath to POSIX...

It removes the encryption flag on all recordings so that you can view them over your network using a UPNP/DNLA client like VLC. Unzip the app. Right click on it and select Open. After a couple of minutes a window should pop up to show what its done.

Thanks to the contributors to this thread. I used this information here. Shell script: # IP commands are used to simulate remote. Folder is created. File moved into it and then out again. Folder is deleted. HOST="192.168.1.120" flag=0 for i in "57" "3d" "56" "56" "56" "56" "56" "3d" "3b"...

Even newer version. This one has a new feature that forces a DLNA reindex by simulating keyboard commands over ip. This is the new code: # IP commands are used to simulate remote. Folder is created. File moved into it and then out again. Folder is deleted. flag=0 for i in "57" "3d" "56"...

New version if anyone is interested. I had to update it to work on High Sierra. (Previously using Snow Leopard!!!!!)

Yes of course, sorry.

My objective was to stream programmes from the Humax to a Fire TV stick in the kitchen and this is what I found worked best. You will need to be able to sideload apps to the Firestick. To do this I used an app on an Android pad...

Another observation that may help, although it covers similar ground: If you use VLC, click Local Network, Universal Plug 'n' Play on the left, you will see the contents of your Humax. Then right click and select Media Information. At the bottom is Location. Copy this address into Chrome and it...

OK - Yes but even when the Protect Flag has gone the Humax has to be encouraged to re-index and that would require a reboot or file copy.

I like your thinking, but you'd still need to do the opt+ thing manually to actually create decrypted files.

It strikes me as extremely unlikely that the 3DC script is the cause. The only extra process that 3DC does is to rename the .hmt .nts .thm and .ts files by adding a "D" to the filenames. This is to force the Humax DLNA server to re-index the material on reboot. [eg Doctor...

Just an additional observation on the Foxy thing. As has been mentioned, once the decrypt flag has been changed on the .hmt file, if the programme is moved to another folder using OPT+, it is reindexed and available on DLNA. An alternative method of forcing reindexing (which I used with my Mac...
