When I use HTTPS to access my HDR via web-if I get the message (browser is Chrome):
The site's security certificate is not trusted!
You attempted to reach hdr-fox2, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean...
I've tried searching to see if anyone has raised this before and couldn't see anything so apologies if it has been asked before.
I want to be able to download video files over the internet when I'm not at home and I've tested this using a 3G connection and it works fine. However, I've used...
Ah, the box that had the updated smb.conf is newly acquired so the original smb.conf file hadn't been updated. I'll do the renaming on the other boxes to complete the implementation of the latest version. Thanks for your reply.
The >2GB copy worked OK on the second box but I've noticed that the install of the Samba upgrade on that box hasn't completed. The /mod/etc/smb.conf file is still my old version but there is a /mod/etc/smb.conf-opkg file there with the new settings sitting there but it hasn't replaced the old...
Thanks xyz321 and af123. The 2.2.12-4 patch which auto-downloaded onto my boxes last night appears to have fixed the proble on the one that I tried a >2GB copy on. I'll try it on the others as well and report back.
Hi GTG, you may need to update your Samba config file as the default entry...
Sorry, my last reply was a bit terse.
I changed the line "path = /Media/My Video" in the Samba config file to be "path = /mnt/hd2/My Video", stopped and restarted Samba and tried a copy of a file >2GB from the PC to the HDR with the same failing results as mentioned in my previous posts.
Thanks xyz321, I look forward to the changes.
Regarding the "The "My Video" share is not pointing directly to the location on disk "/mnt/hd2/My Video"."
"/media/My Video" is a link pointing at "/mnt/hd2/My Video" or is it vice versa, my UNIX/Linux skills are not that good. So shouldn't that...
Hi HarveyB, just to re-iterate that the part of the problem I can't replicate is a copy of a file >2GB from the HDR to the PC corrupting the copied files on the HDR. The problem copying files the other way using Windows drag and drop still exists.
Sorry to bore the pants off everyone with this problem but if anyone is interested the stuff below summarises the situation:
At least one other person, "hairy_mutley" has reported trying this and getting the same results when using Windows drag and drop.
HDR-Fox T2 with Custom Firmware...
Thanks for trying that hairy_mutley, it seems that you have the same problem using Windows drag and drop that I have.
Is Ztree worth the 30 dollars when I can use Teracopy for free?
Like you, I don't understand why just copying a file would affect the source file and it certainly shouldn't but equally you can't say that it couldn't! As I say, I was under pressure to recover the missing programs and didn't have the luxury of doing an in-depth analysis of the problem and take...
The thought occurred to me to ask if anyone else does what I'm trying to do - Copy files >2GB from a Windows 7 PC to an HDR using a Samba share successfully.
I've been re-testing this and still have the same problem when trying to copy files larger than 2GB from the PC to the HDR via a Samba...
I don't understand what you mean by "How would they work when put back?" can you elucidate please?
If you mean did they play on the HDR the same as any other file then there are 2 answers. If I copied all 4 files associated with the program (.hmt, .nts, .thm and .ts) back to the HDR, then the...
Yes, the auto-decrypt and auto-shrink is set on the parent directory so all files have these actions are applied automatically to all programs recorded and I haven't had any problems playing them back so far. I have confirmed that all programs are in this state by viewing them via the web-if...
Sorry, I forgot to respond to the first part of your post. Yes, I have read that thread about the drive size being mis-reported and taken the action mentioned in that thread to change the Samba configuration file on the HDR. Windows now reports the correct size for the HDR disk but still comes...
I agree, taking copies shouldn't affect the original but after 30 years in IT I've learnt that any computer program can have bugs and that they don't always manifest themselves in the way you would expect. However, I'm willing to accept that the problem is down to me and that's why I'm...
Yes, I can do the same, files copy from the HDR to the PC using a Samba share and I can then view them using VLC or WMP without a problem. The only problem is that they seem to become corrupted on the HDR after the copy and I can no longer view them on the HDR. I can prove that they copied to...
The version reported for Samba on the HDR is the same as that on the Foxsat-HDR which works OK.
It is part of the custom firmware package and there are no upgrades available for it. I have no idea if it is possible to download and recompile it on the HDR.
I too have seen reports of a 2GB bug...
