  Surround Sound loses channels on copying to PC
  
  That's interesting to know, thanks. We recorded Spiderman Homecoming the other day and thought the surround sound was excellent, the best we've heard, shame about the film though!

  Surround Sound loses channels on copying to PC
  
  Yes, I tried that and the USB drive had then appeared, but said it had no playable content. When I looked again, several hours later (although I did not look again in between) everything had appeared. This drive is formatted NTFS rather than EXT3, if that makes a difference.

  Surround Sound loses channels on copying to PC
  
  Pleased to say, I can now see, and play with surround sound, all the files on Hummy's internal and external hard drives, on my LG home theatre. It certainly did take a long while for them to all appear, as you warned. That's a great result, thank you so much for all your help, I'd never have...

  I can navigate the hdd from My Video using webif. Using Filezilla I see [USB Storage] under my video, but when I try to open it I get "Connection closed by server".

  Surround Sound loses channels on copying to PC
  
  I have now managed to open the audio channels of my .mp4 file, from VideoRedo, in Wavepad. This confirms that all six audio channels are present and contain data, so the issue, for this file at least, must be the Hummy choosing not to play it as surround sound.

  I have generally used H264.MP4 output from VideoRedo (I did not know about using M2TS and changing the extension). My first attempt was an MP4 and played stereo, but had no sidecar files, which I now know causes this problem. I will try generated sidecar files, using the package, for my MP4 file.

  The sidecar package does generate sidecar files for the unedited ts file, and this then plays with surround sound :) Question is why the video packet size is wrong on the file I have edited in VideoRedo?
