1. SAMBA and Humax FVP5000
  
  I suspect it is Samba 1. It's very slow for upload since you have to turn off the password in the Humax, which turns off the ftp access password as well. So you connect as GUEST. FTP is not given r/w access but Samba is. So it's slow to upload but streams absolutely fine. Kodi can't browse it...

2. Drag and drop video files from PC to 5000T
  
  Ah and then I no longer have permission to upload files. Weird. But I can drag and drop using Finder to the SAMBA share. You know what, that'll do just fine since I can setup a synchronisation task to do just that automatically. BTW Internet Sharing doesn't need to be on..

  Peculiar quirk. It seems that to access the Humax share, the password must be turned off on the ftp server

  My 5000 is very poorly. It refuses to record items that are set up in a schedule. The item is concerned either disappear from the schedule or sit in perpetually requesting information. And yet when you look at an episode in the planner it only offers "cancel series". Which by the way it refuses...

  Semantics, eh? https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/locked https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/fixed?s=t As for reasonableness, I find it reasonable that a lock has a key. Fixed is fixed. But we are now having a row over semantics and I accept we should stop.
