NAS Share Broken, Is virtual-disk2 To Blame?
My Synology DS218j has just been updated to 'DSM 7.0.1-42218 Update 2' and immediately had exactly the same problem as yours. Happily I remembered your post and applied the same change (2. above), ignoring the dire 'insecure' warnings - all now working as before. Thanks again for recording...- alanofcleeves

NAS Share Broken, Is virtual-disk2 To Blame?
Thanks, if I understand Synology's model designations I think they are quite similar, your DS218play being a bit more powerful than my DS218j. For what its worth I'm on DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 2. I'll certainly watch out for any firmware update (nothing so far in nearly 3 years). I expect you...- alanofcleeves

NAS Share Broken, Is virtual-disk2 To Blame?
If it turns out that this is the cause of the problem it would be helpful to know the make and model of your NAS. [My Synology DS218j has an option to check for updates but not install them automatically.]- alanofcleeves

Problem Joining files - option no longer working
I can confirm that it works for me with W10 / Edge, although I usually prefer to combine and edit these files with Avidemux.- alanofcleeves

How many crashes has your T2 experienced in a year/s?
The HDR I am looking at lists 33 crashes since May 2018. As has been said already, by no means all crashes get recorded - I'd say a crash about once every 3 weeks is 'normal'. Of the 33 recorded in crash.log 11 were between 13-15 seconds after booting.- alanofcleeves

File transfer problem when using HDR FOX T2 as media storage
Just a possibility.... You have installed Samba on the HDR but have you activated it? In the WebIf open 'Services' and check that the samba line shows ON for 'Auto Startup' and 'Status'.- alanofcleeves

Long delay when accessing recordings with screen message - 'Processing...'
No need. I allow auto-processing only between 3-4am. A Reminder (on channel 250 to minimize unnecessary activity) is set to wake the box for one hour at 3am, then it goes back into standby.- alanofcleeves

Long delay when accessing recordings with screen message - 'Processing...'
I expect you've discovered that impatiently pressing buttons on the remote when 'processing' is seen often results in a crash and reboot. I soon learned to touch nothing until the message disappears. You can reduce the problem somewhat by restricting 'auto processing' to a slot in the wee...- alanofcleeves

[youtube-dl] Download files from youtube.com or other video platforms
I assume that you, like me, already have youtube-dl installed on your Windows PC. All I did was to download from the link I quoted the file youtube-dl-win32.zip (you can ignore all the others), and replace my current version of youtube-dl.exe with the version in the downloaded .zip file (I...- alanofcleeves

[youtube-dl] Download files from youtube.com or other video platforms
The problem of a 'broken' ITV Hub was logged on the support pages of GitHub back in April. One of their gurus managed to create a fixed version as a temporary measure - hopefully the changes will make it into new releases. I can confirm that the Windows version does restore ITV Hub download...- alanofcleeves

HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey
If you can't add the network path it might be worth experimenting with the SUBST command. Then just reference your chosen drive letter instead of the network path. Something like this: SUBST W: \\NAS_DS718\Media- alanofcleeves

I also have a Synology NAS running DSM 6.2 Samba can be enabled very easily. Just sign on as Admin, open Control Panel -> File Services -> Enable SMB Service. Click 'Apply'. That's about it, works flawlessly.- alanofcleeves

She had good taste. I bought mine in early 1980's so they're coming up to 40 years old. Beautifully made cabinets. Crappy sound from flat panel TVs has given them a new purpose in life.- alanofcleeves

Agreed. In a small room we use a pair of Kef speakers developed from BBC LS3/5a monitors. Forget soundbars, the improvement is amazing except for some programmes where the sound seems to be doctored to favour tiny TV speakers. Most feature films on the HD channels of CH4 and CH5, also quite...- alanofcleeves
