Problems with [hdparm] after swapping hard drives?
Both things I knew and agree with! And allowed me to swoop in and grab a super bargain. So for the 3 HDR Fox T2s I've bought it's been £75 (500GB), £41 (500GB) and £20 (1TB). Funnily enough the less I've paid the better aesthetic condition the boxes have been in too, and it doesn't matter if the...- zekepliskin

Problems with [hdparm] after swapping hard drives?
Gumtree, in Southampton. The seller had it listed as "Human HDR Fox T2" which is I assume why it hadn't sold after 2 weeks of being listed. It got used for about a year if that and then sat on a shelf for nearly 6 from the little I was told. The bundled 1TB Seagate Pipeline .2 drive was working...- zekepliskin

New disk claims to be 98% empty, but really isn't
Yep as soon as you start getting SMART errors and/or you can hear the disk starting to struggle (like making the same noise over and over, usually a sign it's repeatedly trying to read a bad sector and failing) it's time to move everything if you haven't already been backing it up. Cloning and...- zekepliskin

Well I often stay up late (kind of a night owl) and have 231 BBC NEWS on in the background while I'm doing other things, and IIRC it was actually a reeeeeaaaally long episode with Portillo raising his voice several times.

Problems with [hdparm] after swapping hard drives?
So I swapped drives between two HDR Fox T2s recently as I'm planning to gift my first one and keep a newer one I picked up for £20 in mint condition the other day (the first 1TB model I've come across and it has a brighter VFD due to being barely used). Now before I did this, hdparm wasn't...- zekepliskin

Undefined variable in YouTube via portal
Yep, basically everything on the Humax Portal has been weak for years in my experience. Barely worth the trouble to bother with. If there's content I really want that can't be recorded I tend to source it from elsewhere, for example remuxing from a Blu-ray. Or using [get_iplayer]/a browser...- zekepliskin

New disk claims to be 98% empty, but really isn't
Hmmm. I would have used a tower PC with several SATA ports, cloned the old drive to the new drive with a G4U LiveUSB, then booted a PartED LiveUSB and resized the media partition to fill the newer, bigger drive space. In fact I'm pretty sure I did just this when I upgraded my old Foxsat HDR...- zekepliskin

EPG possible errors ?
Weird bug that may need a new thread - I have 3 HDR Fox T2s running at the moment. They're all using redring with the setting CLOCK ► VIDEOTIME. Two of them show the clock being an hour behind when in the TSR buffer or playing back recordings, i.e. pre-DST change. One has the correct time...- zekepliskin

Various questions about audio handling (AC3, E-AC3) and side car files
Fair points one and all, raydon. And yep every video I've tried with the -x switch enabled which is H.264/AC3 works perfectly. And you know what?

Various questions about audio handling (AC3, E-AC3) and side car files
Ah, some info from the man himself. Nice to speak again raydon, been a while. I believe me and MontysEvilTwin must have "stumbled" on the same cludge of a solution. Why changing ProgID turns broken AC3 audio into working AC3 audio is a mystery to me (currently at least), but whatever it is...- zekepliskin

Hehehe yeah while that is true there's certain content that can only be grabbed in SD as broadcast - some of the fringe channels have interesting content but are SD only.

Various questions about audio handling (AC3, E-AC3) and side car files
So then the simple conclusion to why this works is HMT files are not fully understood then, I suppose? Because I can mux the file with AV2HDR-T2 and that 0x488 is set to 00 for AC3 files whereas if the same file is muxed with TSmuxerGUI and the sidecars made on the webif it's set to 01 which...- zekepliskin

Various questions about audio handling (AC3, E-AC3) and side car files
Found it! Got tired of doing things the long way round and remuxing files multiple times to achieve a result. In the HMT File it is Offset 488 which defines audio type. When using AV2HDR-T2 to remux a H.264/AC3 640k bitrate video for use with the HDR Fox T2, this HMT file block is correctly...- zekepliskin

HDR-Fox T2 Memory Size
While we're on the (off-)topic, how much RAM does the HDR Fox T2 have anyway? I'm gonna guess something low like 64MB or 128MB without cheating and looking at a spec sheet.- zekepliskin
