1. Detect Ads
  
  I found a minor issue with my mod, if the 1st ad break ends within the 1st few secs of the file the padding creates a negative value for the bookmark, the cropping then sees that as at the end of the file and the whole file is cropped! Simple fix which is included in the full version of the mod...

4. Problem with detectads
  
  I have an odd problem, not sure when it happened as not used DetectAds 'Manual' mode for a week or so. Running DetectAds in manual mode gives 'Internal Server Error', error log just shows mod_cgi.c.1098: aborted auto log has no entry. Running DetectAds as a background task works fine. I`ve...

  Sorry haven't made the issue quite clear enough, its not a restore that creates the problem, simply a reboot or power cycle, you change fav names, reboot, fav names are reset! I've done the following test, changed names, rsvp.bd shows: /var/lib/humaxtv/rsvp.db favnames 1 Favourite 1 2...

  If it is on, why is the box menu saying it is off? And why does changing the setting there fix the immediate issue?

8. Hard disk not found - replaced hard disk - Hard disk unmounted
  
  I was talking of security within Linux, not on the box. I have placed files on a drive before putting it back in the machine (foxsat in that case) and forgot to assign correct ownership, the box had trouble till I corrected that.

  Yes, Linux uses Ext4 now yet microsoft dare not move from NTFS despite all the disadvantages. Don't know why Humax chose Ext3 over Ext4 as it was available at the time of release of the T2.

  I agree, remember the humax is Linux based which uses ownership for one for security, if it hasn't formatted the partitions they will not be owned by root so cannot be written to by all processes. Also as MontysEvilTwin mentioned, drives usually come formated to the archaic NTFS format, where...

  Yes they look OK as far as I can see. Which firmware is installed? If its the CF have you tried reverting to the standard? I had a foxsat that would'nt boot with CF installed but did without, though it turned out the cause was a failing hard drive.

  Yes its not 'currently' a common issue for the T2, but these machines are getting on and capacitors have a limited lifetime especially in power supplies (due to the high temps) so they will fail in time. Leaky/failed caps in any machine commonly cause symptoms like: box turns on then goes back...

  What you describe sounds like a simple power supply fault to me, one or more voltages not reaching correct level or unstable, the most common cause for that is 'leaky capacitors' you can easily identify such as they either distort or actually leak their dielectric. Look for any capacitors that...

  When you say copy I assume you mean move/copy (which is just a move unless your copying onto an external) that does not involve a file transfer, all it does is change flags which specify where the file lives. Or are you doing something else?
