What does the green circle with an underscore on a folder icon mean please? I have looked through the wiki but can't find it, sorry if I missed it. Nor can I see anything special about the file in the folder. Ta.
Clearly, as I'd swapped the disk ;) - I added that to give others that may be cautious of a disk replacement (as I was) more confidence that's it's straightforward. All you need is a medium cross-head screwdriver. While I'm here - if you haven't got a USB <-> SATA adaptor, but do have enough...
I've just installed the "advanced" package "radio-ss-off" - it's purpose is to disable the screensaver when listening to radio. Doesn't fix the original post as written, however for me it's an effective solution, as I'm happy to see the radio text anyway. I have used the same Samsung 'Eco menu'...
OK Job done, physically straightforward (it was easier to unscrew the drive holder from the base, then pull the SATA connector off the drive). I noted after a full reboot, the drive is /dev/sdb, and in Maintenance mode it's /dev/sda. Let the box reformat - the start sectors of each partition...
To answer the original question (I'm using 1.03.12 custom fw):
* In maintenance mode, "fixdisk" then when asked "Any additional options (or press return for none):" enter "-y" (must be lower case).
* Yes you can interrupt it. Open another telnet session, "cli", "ps | grep -i fix", note the...
My original 1TB is showing errors, currently running the fixdisk but have ordered the 2TB ST2000VM003 anyway. Anyone know if the partitioning/gfdisk/inode tweaks in the wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/2TB_Disk_Installation_Blog are worth doing?
Hi, thanks for the quick response. The playback problem is very repeatable (on files with the issue – not all have it). Taking e.g. “F1 Singapore Grand Prix Live_20170917_1233.ts” the first advert bookmarked from 14:18 to 18:02 (copying the cropped recording to my PC and playing with VLC, the...
Hi, I seem to have an issue on some cropped recordings, whereby the 'skip back' button will jump minutes rather than the programmed few seconds. Only happens on detectads cropped recordings, not regular ones. Sorry if mentioned before and I missed it. Any thoughts? Happy to help debug...
Ah yes prpr, quite probably. I live and learn. I was wondering what I did recently which may have got it into this state. I did install detectads a couple of months ago (mainly to free up disk space) but no evidence it is to blame. Off topic but that package is working well for our viewing habits.
Thanks prpr, it's working now. The first time I ran the above commands it printed a bunch of stuff then hang at updating the DLNA database (I left it an hour but 'top' showed nothing going on except the expected "humaxtv" process), so rebooted via web-if, ran the above commands again (completed...
My unit running 1.03.12 has developed an issue whereby the web interface stops working after using it to install any package. A "ps -ef" shows no lighttpd, recovery is with "service start lighttpd" as expected, and then the process list shows 3 instances (is that normal?). I don't often change...
Mine has done this for a while. Most evident on channels like BBC Radio 1 which updates the background text about every 15 seconds. My TV doesn't have a 'screen off' mode to allow audio only. For all I know the original Humax stock firmware also did it, I can't remember, will check with my...
[FIXED] Thanks prpr, clearing the cache got those items working again. Hadn't occurred to me that the browser itself was causing the problem as only the Humax was altered. So in this case it was definitely the webif upgrade, not the CF upgrade, which led to this (as I upgraded CF, changed IP...
Also the Diagnostic "Channel Information" link is similarly broken (it's looking for /cgi-bin/channel.jim which also is missing). I removed the webif (
opkg remove webif --force-depends) and let it reinstall it from the basic web page, and no difference. I let the packages update themselves...
Forgot to mention, after the upgrade I ran a maintenance mode " 1 - Check and repair hard disk (fix-disk)" (fix-disk.log showed no errors but wondered if that could've done it - seems unlikely), and I also cleared epg and reset DLNA database. Probably not a cause but thought I better mention all...
Hi, have been using the CF for a couple of years - excellent work, thank you.
I've just upgraded my HDR-FOX T2 from 2.22 to 3.03 and noticed in "Diagnostics" that the "Reboot System" button is red (all others yellow) and (after accepting the confirmation prompts) it's calling an invalid URL on...
