What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010
The DTR-1000 is mentioned as a source of parts, except for the main board. However, the main board appears to be a potential source of replacement I/O modules/connectors for the FOXes. Has anyone tried to reuse these parts, like the HDMI/ethernet connector, or particularly the tuner module...- /df

The nightly is just a clone of the master, but it's the best solution for someone who wants a running version on a laptop/desktop/etc. In the Windows build, Python is the only Windows executable, so I assume it was built with VS2010 (Python 3.4: 2014-2019, VS2013 being too new in 2014). I'm...- /df

You can just download the nightly release POSIX build (example linked above) that will run on any such system with a python executable on the PATH (so you may have to link to /wherever/python3), or the Windows (>=XP) version that has its own Python 3.4.4 built in.- /df

-f 'bestaudio/best' -x --audio-format mp3 or -f 'bestaudio/best' -x --audio-format aac, depending on preference. In the second case ffmpeg should work out that it doesn't need to transcode the audio.- /df

We need to upgrade to nightly release 2024.12.17 which supersedes the no longer successful workaround. Or actually, 2025.01.01 once the GH elves have built it.- /df

opkg update issue
The -U "" (ie, don't let on that the client is wget) is probably what makes the difference in the wget command. But IIRC we had problems before where the wrong, or an unexpected version of, wget was being invoked, due to PATH issues.- /df

Humax greenscreen on some tvs
The method (blocking pin 19 of the HDMI plug attached to the Humax box) described in the HD Fox thread was effective for me.

Denon remote codes
Similarly, I found a code that worked with a scrap AVR-X4000, but for a useful range of functions you need a separate clone control, available from various online tat bazaars. Also, going way back in time: The black plastic YouView remote (this one says RC3124705/03B by the battery...- /df

2TB HDD Corruption: Repair options?
Sometimes the filesystem structures are screwed in ways that e2fsck can't repair, or not on a machine like the setup box. Maybe some value is corrupted but not so much that it's obviously wrong; then the checker may try to create some data structure sized according to the corrupt value, and then...- /df

2TB HDD Corruption: Repair options?
Likewise, but motivation failed because basically once you've got to the "disk out" stage you might as well recover any precious content to known good storage (ddrescue, even) and then wipe the suspect disk to clear any pending bad sectors.

Green screen known as HDMI handshake for me finally cured
In principle, yes, because the recording data path is separate from the HDMI display data path. The analogue display data path is separate too, which is why you can still see the SCART output even when HDMI is showing GS.- /df

Green screen known as HDMI handshake for me finally cured
Indeed, and the pin-out in the page that I linked. The sink might have a small resistor or similar internally between pins 18 (5V from source) and 19 so that the final connection sets the source's pin 19 high. What wasn't clear from this in OP was this If the Humax is not being sent HDCP...- /df

Green screen known as HDMI handshake for me finally cured
So this is the Hot Plug Detect line, the last-to-make pin at the bottom-left if pointing the plug away from you with the narrow side uppermost. Apparently as the cable is connected, the sink (display) reflects the 5V signal from pin 18 back to the source (PVR, in this case), telling it that a...- /df
