Though I like the logic behind this line of thought, I'm just concerned it'll take another 20 hours and I've already missed quite a few recordings already... is it faster the second time you run the test?
Ah yes of course. I'm still used to the Foxsat HDR, where the final/smallest partition was for music and photos, as well as being the location of the bulk of the raydon custom firmware files.
Probably got dumped there by accident due to me writing hd3 rather than hd2 when copying a file from...
Yes the error reoccured despite the absence of [rs] and a clean install of the custom firmware via telnet. Man I really need to get to the bottom of this fast. If there are any other options to backing up nearly 2TB of content then reformatting the 4TB drive that's in there I would love to...
Fixdisk check finished kinda quickly actually... full log Pastebin'd here.
This part caught my eye :-
swapon: /mnt/hd3/.swap: Invalid argument
fix-disk: session terminated with exit status 1
Is this normal? I was under the impression the HDR Fox T2 doesn't need a swap file in most cases.
Reset option from Telnet menu.
If you mean fixdisk from maintenance mode, yes I have. Also the short SMART test. Both passed iirc but I'm gonna run them again to be sure.... re-running fixdisk with -d -l -y options enabled now.
Determining it by the webif not being able to install new packages and telling me it's read only, and the FTP server not able to copy things from other LAN devices or delete things from My Video with the same error.
What I'll do later today is reinstall [rs], re-enable Real Time Scheduling...
Which I did, I removed the webif completely using the Telnet menu and reinstalled everything, redoing all the settings for the packages I use etc. Within a few hours of doing this, straight back to the same problems it had before, which is recordings failing and Read Only File System error...
Done. I'd forgotten it had crashed before installing [rs], it seemed to fix quite a few little errors and did a few package updates. I bet it's safe to reinstall [rs] now... :-D
Wow, helpful replies chaps! Thank you. I wondered what caused pixellations in recordings, I always assumed it was signal issues as sometimes it dips from about 80% quality/strength to 60% or so in my region. Love living in the country, no cable (fiber) broadband either.
I had Real Time...
I did this to my 4TB HDR Fox T2 earlier this evening.
I did manage to cause some sort of problem with the front USB port (an unclearable error) so I pulled out the daughterboard and power/data wire, all fine, then reconnected it all and then it worked and read from USB sticks so maybe it just...
So my HDR Fox T2 was working near perfectly for many months. I was tempted to retire it but instead I did some spring cleaning, removed a load of content and unwatched Series Links which were cluttering up the recording schedule and so on. I figured with 4TB of space internally (upgraded...
I do like how these packages work together. For example, using network-shares-automount to have a link to anotherwhere to store TS files and having the HDR Fox T2 redraw the support files using the sidecar package. Even more impressive is that using TSmuxerGUI to make M2TS files and rename...
Having had a look at the setup doc for haneWIN NFS server which is what I use, I'm pretty sure you can't root share both drives as a single mount point, sadly.
Okay I've had this package installed for a while and just getting around to configuring this.
I can already access my HTPC's two large drives full of media by setting the paths, and it's a hell of a lot faster to pull file lists than DLNA serving and not as many clicks to get to where the...
Yeah something was definitely b0rked... after many hours invested 18 months ago to try and keep NTFS drives under stable mountpoints, not spinning down etc and finding that when the box was on for 12 hours or more it wouldn't network share properly via NFS or SMB (video corruption) I gave up and...
Thanks for the reply.
So you're saying remuxing them is the only option?
Howcome the majority of TS files from the Foxsat HDR can be Sidecar'd and yet these particular ones cannot? Something different about the way the old sat box used to record from BBC TWO HD perhaps?
So chaps... I've been using the Sidecar plugin to generate the required files from old content imported onto the HDR Fox T2 from my previous Foxsat HDR. For the most part, the TS files spit out from that box can just have new Sidecar files generated automatically, for example some circa 2013...
Quick update on this since I've been using it for a month...
There do seem to be the odd few problems with streaming via NFS/SMB sharing using NTFS-3G mounted drives. I assumed it was when recording with detectads enabled because that's sometimes where the issues would start, as if the box was...
Sorry for resurrection of a thread not posted in for over four years however I have a question.
I live in Midhurst at the moment and unlike nearer Portsmouth I can't seem to reach the Rowridge transmitter to receive COM7 feeds, i.e. for BBC News HD and BBC Four HD. I think there's a pretty...
