For information, since flushing and reinstalling the CFW, I’ve had 2 crashes, but I know what I was doing to cause them: the first one occurred when the Humax Portal was loading (after selecting it from the remote), and in the second crash, a couple of minutes later, the portal had opened and I...
And this may well be of no significance at all, but when I now look at Network Settings, the radio button is correctly on DHCP, but no network details are showing, whereas before (earlier screenshot), they were listed, but greyed out. Probably nothing, but maybe another indicator that if...
I just got a surprise: I’d assumed I would have to re-install all the packages, even the full webif, after a system flush and CFW reinstall, but, unable to resist, I did have a peek - and not only is the full webif there, but all the optional packages I’d previously installed have been...
Is there anything the user can do to steer clear of this? I don’t suppose it would be anything as simplistic as avoiding the installation of one of the optional packages?
I’ve since done a system flush and CFW re-installation, and so far the results look very encouraging. So there’s little point in persuing this. Nevertheless, I’m very grateful for the responses and suggestions.
Looking good: system flush and re-installation of the CFW done and several reboots carried out successfully - the Power On/Off timers remain Off.
I will try and resist the temptation to start installing packages to give the box a fair test at its basic CFW level before progressing.
Thanks to...
I wondered about that - duplicating by also setting manual IP in the Network Settings to the same address I’d set on the router, but somehow it didn’t quite seem good practice to set a manual IP address in 2 different places.
Interesting. Thanks. And I decided to turn off both Power On and Off timers to eliminate anything like that, but that brought an additional glitch: the Power Off timer is defaulting back to 03:00 from Off on the second reboot.
Here’s a screenshot of my boot settings. I’ve searched in case there were duplicate Power On/Off settings in the CFW but as far as I can see the only way to set them is via the remote (unlike Standby Power Saving and Automatic Power Down, which are available via the webif.)
Yes, sorry, I should have made that clear. The IP addresses are in the “Manually assigned IP around the DHCP list” on my Asus router (which runs the Asus Merlin CFW). So I have a DHCP pool starting at /50 and ending at /63 and then each device is listed by MAC address and manually assigned...
Thanks Black Hole. And thanks for the clarification on dlna-filter.
I have configured the IP addresses manually on my router. I’ve attached a screenshot showing that the radio button shows against DHCP with the correct network data greyed out.
Yes, different IP addresses: one is .../62 and...
Fox T2 HDR CFW 3.13
I set the Power On and Power Off timers using the remote to OFF.
I then reboot using the central fascia button and when I check the Power On and Power Off timers, they both show Off, as expected.
If I reboot again, the Power Off time has now changed from Off to the...
I thought I should add that my main Fox T2 HDR was fully powered down at the time of the crash of this spare T2.
(Despite my running dlna-filter and listing the IP address of the main T2 in the spare one, and vice versa, the spare T2 seems to freeze when the main one is switched on...
My (spare) Fox T2 HDR running CFW 3.13 seems to crash when coming out of its 3-5am sleep. Yet if I manually reboot from the webif or by touching the large button on the front until it goes orange and then touching again, it doesn’t crash.
I ran crash-diag from the webif and would be very...
