      Failed recordings.

      Run fix-disk from maintenance mode carried out. System records correctly now. Thanks. Just one thing, I've lost the recording schedule backup list. Has it been removed in the new CF?

      Failed recordings.

      FOX HDR-T2 with latest Custom Firmware. We recently had two power outages in quick succession whilst this box was working I think. Although I cannot be sure it started then we have been losing recordings. I found the firmware was out of date and installed the latest. I noticed we had begun to...

      Unable to access both boxes since creating an Ethernet share with Raspberry Pi

      I want eventually to create a Wake on WAN facility for a Linux machine. To date I have a pi connected via an Ethernet cable to the Linux machine. The pi has a wifi adaptor and is connected to the router. From the Linux machine I am able to browse shares on a Windows 10 machine and on the pi...

      Updating Custom Firmware

      It is possible in 2015 I used an old msdos partitioned usb to update. I have been using several usbs to make persistent linux usbs so maybe I just picked up the wrong one. Having now updated the machines it can only have been the gpt partitioning that caused the failure.

      Updating Custom Firmware

      Yes, I am aware of that. What appears to have fixed the problem is changing the partition table from gpt to msdos. The usb is now recognised and is updating the box. Very strange because I have used Linux for years and would in the past have used gpt. I await an answer from xubuntu forum...

      I followed the instructions precisely. The usb was formatted using gparted but that should not make any difference.

      Updating Custom Firmware

      Both my HDR-FOX T2 boxes have old custom firmware installed and i want to update. Is it ok to make the jump in one step to 3.13? Custom firmware version: 3.03 (build 2368) Humax Version: 1.03.12 (kernel HDR_CFW_3.03) Loader Version: a7.31 System ID: 80bc.7e00

      Thanks for that fenlander. I have just downloaded 10 Swedish movie files, two of which resulted in .mp4 and the remainder were mkv and not playable. Using youtube-dl -F [video url] obtains the possible output formats available. youtube-dl -k -f 18 [video url] produces an mp4 I tried adding...

      Thank you for taking an interest. I am able to obtain a playable .mp4 but I will try your suggestion. I still have 40 or so to go. Just had a look at the web page hosting 4K Video Downloader and the program is not available from the repositories. I prefer to stay with the repositories so will...

      I just tried passing the -k and end up with an mp4 which I think will be playable on the tv or humax. Just waiting for the wife to release the tv lol.

      I'm using linux aand I use youtube-dl to download the file. If I watch the download progress it downloads the parts separately, using ffmpeg to merge them into a .mkv file which I can then play with VLC media player. The result does not play on the tv or humax box, failing with the audio. It...

      Well, well, why didn't I think of it before? (Don't answer) My smart TV can access youtube and I have a keyboard for it. So, I can search easily and stream episodes straight from youtube! I have my phone back :) Still not sure how the tv can deal with the Opus codec whilst streaming but not...

      There you go! It would need to 'stream' from a usb. Something to explore, thank you.

      Yes, prior to purchasing my s8, I would use handbrake to re-encode some .mkv files and could do so in this case. However, the thought of re-encoding 74 episodes, each nearly an hour long forced the question. My wife (iphone user), now hogs my phone with a usb plugged into it to mirror the movie...
