      [rs] Remote Scheduling v1

      Funny you should say that - I have set a couple of series recently, one via the guide on Quest and one via a search pattern on BBC One, neither seems to have been set as a series. I thought the Quest one might be because they don't do series link properly (though Mythbusters seems to be...

      Cut and Paste - Does it use the PC?

      I've been using cut and paste via the webif for ages and never once had a problem. It is easy to cancel if you change your mind, you can multiply select items and you don't have to disturb anyone's viewing whilst doing your housekeeping. I use it for pretty much all films I record (to triage...

      New Portal in development

      Yes, that was what I originally got my first domain for (forwarding email) and since then I started a blog site for my wife and needed hosting so I also host the email for the family on there now (IMAP to various devices). So far the prices have not gone up for the domains (in over 10 years) but...

      New Portal in development

      I don't want to sound ungrateful but, wow, those prices sound outrageous. I run a few sites myself with admittedly far lower bandwidth but my costs are about £12/month for the hosting (unlimited storage), £12/year for each domain (two .coms and one .org, no idea what a .tv would be from those...

      Remote scheduling non HD recordings

      Yeah, I hit the same snag when I wanted to set a schedule for a particular programme whenever it is on. I ended up creating several queries for each of the channels I knew it might be on (avoiding the HD ones) but it is far from ideal. I'd like to be able to pattern match the channel name in...

      Extracted mpg files do not play nicely on Humax

      For what it is worth, and maybe a way to close off this thread, I retried MX player yesterday and found that it now plays the ts files just fine (decoded ones, via samba and ES file explorer). I don't know why it didn't work for me before, maybe an update to MX player, maybe my network...

      Extracted mpg files do not play nicely on Humax

      I'm using Samba - gave up with streaming to the Nexus ages ago. I'll have to try that feature in MX player to see if it helps although, since the file just to start an begins playing again surely the restart point would also be back near the start? It could be because I am on 4.2.2 still as I...

      Extracted mpg files do not play nicely on Humax

      Thanks for that. I have found that the TS files do play with VLC, MX Player on my Nexus 7 (a 2012 model though) and some others but if you try to skip to the point you want to resume (e.g. you watched half a film and want to pick up where you left off) it jumps back to the start. Also, brushing...

      Extracted mpg files do not play nicely on Humax

      Weird, but I saw your reply in my email inbox. I'm not familiar with AV2HDR-T2 so I don't know what point you were making. Are you saying the mpg files are bad in some way? If that's the case it is odd that they play fine on the Nexus 7 which is a bit particular about what it plays well.

      Extracted mpg files do not play nicely on Humax

      I've been using 'extract to mpg' for a while now as the files it produces play much nicer on my Nexus 7 over the network (I can actually jump to the right point to continue viewing), however, I recently noticed that the same .mpg files do not play nicely on the Humax itself. For some reason the...

      Disk keeps going read only

      Just thought it was worth posting a follow on, four days on and no further troubles. Thanks again for your input everyone :D

      Disk keeps going read only

      I have considered a UPS but really I think that would be overkill, it would not be able to record unless I also put UPS on the aerial distribution and it would not be able to email unless I put UPS on the router and hubs. In this case it would not have helped in any case as I could not have got...

      Disk keeps going read only

      Indeed. :) That said, power cuts are not unusual in our village owing to the dangly overhead power lines running up the road, being hit by footballs and waving around in high winds. Not had a problem before with the Humax though or I might have considered powering it down when we went away for...

      Disk keeps going read only

      Thanks for your input guys, so you think it is worth running fix-disk once or twice more? I guess I will have to give that a try before I go the whole hog and reformat it. My problem at the moment is that it rarely runs for more than a few minutes before going into this read only mode so I am...

      Disk keeps going read only

      I'm not sure how much this may have been discussed before but I have been having trouble with my HDR for the past couple of weeks with it constantly going into a read only mode. The CF fails to to anything useful in this mode as it can't write to any temp files and so throws errors in all sorts...

      Cannot access WebIF: Internet coming through ethernet out of Mac Mini

      It's been decades since I mucked about with manually configuring networks but it sounds to me like you need to set up routing on the mac mini so that it routes stuff between the two subnets. I've just been playing with networking in my place as I wanted to add a second wifi access point by...

      Assume v. Presume

      I was going to add something about the confusion between an interest and an investment to mean, essentially, the same thing as being a possible cause of this but thought I had detoured off topic far enough already :) If people stuck to investment, invested parties etc then there would be no need...

      Assume v. Presume

      Interesting :) I have reached the ripe old age of 46 without realising there was such a word as uninterested (sounds so clumsy to my ear) so had to look it up after reading that. The OED has this to say: Nowhere are the battle lines more deeply drawn in usage questions than over the...

      Closed Poll How many HDRs do you own?

      I mostly follow what Socrates says but we do have a TV in the bedroom which my better half likes to have on to hear/watch the news while she gets ready in the mornings. She has suggested that she would like to be able to hit record sometimes when she sees something interesting but would equally...
