  Copied recordings from old Hdr drive unavailable
  
  Thanks Dino, maybe it working for me is a bit of a red herring. But hopefully I won't be in this position again for a while!

  Copied recordings from old Hdr drive unavailable
  
  Thanks to all for their helpful advice. Have now managed to copy the files onto the Foxsat HDD, this is how I did it. I didn't fancy learning/installing Linux Mint (too old a dog for that new trick!), so persevered with DiskGenius. I discovered that when a folder is made by Foxsat (Media/File...

  Copied recordings from old Hdr drive unavailable
  
  Hi Luke, I tried Dino's advice. Whilst the Webif rename changed the filename as seen from the PC, it was unchanged when viewed in Media! Surely the filename showing in Media should change too? I also ran the fixfilespath utility, but that didn't make them visible either. (This has worked...

  Copied recordings from old Hdr drive unavailable
  
  Black Hole, Yes, I copied the hmt/ts/nts files. They are showing under DiskGenius, but not on the Foxsat. I'm thinking of deleting them, make the new folders in Foxsat/File Manager/Function /Make Folder(s), then copying the files into those folders.

  Copied recordings from old Hdr drive unavailable
  
  Forgot to mention that I have also run the fixfilepaths utility from FW v4.1.3, as that has previously sorted out files that I copied using FileZilla. That didn't make them available either.

  Copied recordings from old Hdr drive unavailable
  
  Hi, wonder if any Linux/Humax gurus out there can help? I recently replaced the drive in my Foxsat-HDR as it was failing. I put a 2TB drive in, and successfully started recording programmes (ie I see them, and they can be played back). Off the old drive, I had copied off all the recordings I...

  Missing Recordings/Unable to Playback or Record
  
  A quick update, and thanks again to all who helped me. Ordered the ST2000VM003 Pipeline (new stock on Amazon, £27), stuck it in a docking station, partitioned as 4 EXT3 partitions (using EASEUS Partition Master), removed old drive, put in new drive, started the Foxsat and now have 1.72TB...

  Missing Recordings/Unable to Playback or Record
  
  I had noticed the 340 days too in the report (I bought it second hand 18 months ago), so what you've spotted makes sense. I had presumed that it contained the original Humax 1TB disk it was built with, but obviously that is not the case. I'm currently using the 320MB Foxsat, whilst copying...

  Thanks guys. My thoughts were along the same lines, ie file system related (either software and/or hardware). The custom FW is installed, what tests could I run? This is a fault that I have never experienced before, and I must have pressed Media straight after booting up many, many times.
