1. Webif crop feature stresses the processor
  
  This sounds no different from the problem that I have had (and previously discussed) that stops me from using chase decrypt and ad-detect, i.e. pixelation being added to the live recording.

  My "Paramount Network" (54) does not seem to have a channel icon. It is not in the previous list, so I presume that there has never been one. Does anyone have the wherewithall to make one?

3. RS epg seems to be missing channels
  
  Strangely, I have just tried to schedule 21:00 this evening on BBC TWO HD and have seen exactly the same "empty" "Programme details" dialog as Mihaid has reported. I have 2 HDRs; humax1 (28073816) exhibits the problem and does not have the latest RS beta installed, humax2 (427573816) is OK and...

4. Corrupted HD recordings
  
  It appears that a lot of people use decrypt and detect ads during recording without problems, I find that it causes picture breakup of the recording. So that is a possibility to consider and easy to verify.

5. Hacking the on-board Encryption Chip...?
  
  I used to find that decryption while recording resulted in unwatchable recordings (the discussions are on these forums). We never got to the bottom of why I had problems when other didn't, so I just continue to avoid doing the two together.

  The OSMC maximum samba level that I referred to in the last post is not applicable to this problem as is applies to an OSMC samba client. For me, the solution was as follows (and may apply to connecting any legacy samba client to a post Jan 2018 OSMC samba server). The fix is applied to OSMC...

  I have found that a lot of mkv files that will not play are ok if you use Windows ffmpeg to swap their container to MP4. Try ffmpeg -i in.mkv out.mp4 Because it is not converting, it is similar in speed to a straight copy.
