Thanks.
Sounds promising. I think the critical part is whether it is able to fill and properly utilise the extra space, so if you wouldn't mind reporting back then that would be great.
Seems strange this is the only place I have seen discussion on this as 500gb is nothing, I thought everyone...
Have we got full confirmation that this works and actually uses the extra space yet? I have 1Tb in my old Humax box and going back to 500Gb would be a real backwards step.
Thanks
Thanks again, I'll amend the correct hosts file as it will be easier than using IP address in the long run.
Not so bothered about the aliases as its up and running so shouldn't be changing it again.
Thanks again though, I was about to waste a lot of time thinking it was an ssh protocol...
Right, ignore the above posts about it hanging.
The humax box timed out as I was doing this so I restarted.
What I didn't realise was it clears /dev/hosts on bootup, so it couldn't find my server - hence the hang.
I'm not using IP address instead of hostname
Running the ssh -i has finally...
Thanks. If I do that it gives:
Host 'debianlinux' key accepted unconditionally
and then prompts for password. If I enter it then the command works.
But... the known_hosts file is NOT being updated and is still 0 bytes so a) the connection doesnt work without the password and b) I still get...
I'm also having trouble with this.
I want to rsync from my hummy box to a linux server, running debian.
I have got this working from windows to the same server, and all is OK so I know the server setup is OK.
What I've done is:
Created a user humax on my server.
On humax box I've created keys...
I've got a LG smart TV and also an LG DLNA bluray player.
Standard def files stream great to both.
But HD files, even decrypted, just dont seem to play.
Through the Humax streamer - TV picture is corrupt, Bluray player doesn't even recognize/play the files
Through mediatomb - both will play...
Thanks Damian,
Sounds like you have tried most of what I was going to try anyway.
I can confirm XBMC on PC also doesn't allow scanning from hummy built in streamer.
Its all a bit frustrating to be honest. I'm open to spending £100 on a decent media client, but it seems such a minefield to know...
Yes, I was aware of that. Although it is a hassle I think it would probably worth it assuming it allowed fast forward.
I've not done it but I assume it is just a case of setting up an auto decrypt job?
As noted from the main Raspberry Pi thread the Humax DLNA server doesn't appear to support fast forward or rewind in XBMC.
Is there a workaround for this, perhaps running a samba share on the hummy and connecting directly to that in XBMC, or using the mediatomb server instead?
I'll have a go...
Well thats interesting.
Raspberry Pi was my plan A. I have one, but gave up as it didn't work with SD stuff so moved on to plan B.
Looks like it now does work with SD recordings so looks like I am back to my original plan after all. Amazing what difference a few weeks makes.
Thanks, yes I don't doubt the PS3 is the problem.
I'm just a little surprised as I'd expect BBC to be a fairly 'standard' standard.
If it is something that has just stopped working then maybe the next firmware will address it. If it has been broken for some time then I'll give up on it.
For...
If I use the humax to stream content to a PS3 (not using mediatomb - the default server) I have no sound on High Def recordings.Video is fine though.
Standard Def recordings work fine and I have video and audio.
Is this a known issue? For info I'm testing with Match of the day on BBC HD...
Well, I've finally got this working.
Uninstalled portal, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted.
Anyway, it seems to be working now.
Thanks for your help everyone.
The detail of what happened originally is further up this page.
I had another look at this, and the LCD display does show a message about custom firmware on boot, but the screen display doesn't. I'm convinced it did previously?
If I go to settings I get the following info:
Software Version FHTCP...
I ran fix-flash-packages which seemed to work fine.
Then soft shutdown, followed by power off for 10 seconds.
Still no custom portal.
If I go to the settings on the box, I get 1.02.28 firmware version. When it boots I dont get any custom firmware message on screen, which I'm sure I used to...
OK, Looks like my stuff isn't decrypted after all.
However, I had installed auto-unprotect, and assumed that would do it all for me.
However, it looks like I was missing unenctrypt package.
Thanks (and apologies) again.
Thanks - this is starting to look like user error :(
My understanding was that only HD content was encrypted, not SD.
I have also installed the auto-encrypt package, so assumed that was decrypting stuff as it was recorded anyway.
Am I correct in thinking this should all be working as I think...
Thanks.
