Broken Repeat Recording
Vigilance seems to be the only answer to avoid missing the next and future episodes. The Beeb has been doing crazy things with series links. For reasons that need concern no-one.... I record Bargain Hunt on BBC1, sometimes BBC2 most days around noon. Until recently it was straightforward: one...- alanofcleeves

Recording failed ?
I can't help with reasons for the failure but you may want to catch the repeat on Wednesday at 1am.- alanofcleeves

A nice score from a dumped Sky HD+ box
I sit on the fence here but a power cycle on average only once a month does support the view that leaving them powered up 24/7 is good for longevity.- alanofcleeves

auto-mpg feature
I think you need to use the auto-audio flag. Auto-mpg appears designed to convert SD video .ts files to mpeg video, which would explain why your radio files failed to convert.- alanofcleeves

MPG conversion issue
I think this problem arises only with the few SD channels that are transmitted on DVB-T2 muxes. All other SD channels come with MP2 sound.- alanofcleeves

auto-schedule-restore - minor problem
I think I understand now, thanks. I was used to restoring the latest schedule list from the WebIf following a retune and had expected auto-schedule-restore to do just that, but automatically. As it uses a different list there is always the possibility of a different outcome. I guess the list...- alanofcleeves

auto-schedule-restore - minor problem
Before doing a complete re-tune I had added some new program reservations and used backup/restore within Schedule in the WebIf to save a new reservation list. After the re-tune I noticed that today's additions were missing from the auto-restored schedule. I guess that auto-schedule-restore...- alanofcleeves

WebIf Tweaks: Changes to the EPG
... but almost certainly we would have had to manage without custom firmware. IMO an HDR with CF is better than anything Humax would have allowed themselves to contemplate, so we have gained and had a bit of fun as well.- alanofcleeves

Webif Youtube download fails
I first noticed the problem before the recent update to youtube-dl (and hoped the update might address it). The update had no effect on the problem, as far as I can tell.- alanofcleeves

Webif Youtube download fails
I found exactly the same and assumed I had made a silly error. Previously I had left "Process options" blank, leaving Youtube-dl to choose the best available format. Now the default download fails but seems to work provided a "Process option" [-f plus the desired format code] is set.- alanofcleeves

I have two main objections to smart meters, apart from a long-held belief that resulting 'savings' have always been wildly exaggerated and based on biased guesswork.

Cropping problem
Just a thought: Does/did the original programme title contain any unusual character, e.g. accent, umlaut etc, ? I have known them to cause the kind of behaviour you describe - can't recall the exact circumstances but it did result in a file being masked from browser listings.- alanofcleeves

HDR-Fox T2 recordings to PC - audio messed up
The problem you describe is typical of the condition where the broadcaster changes the audio type from 2-channel stereo (eg during the ads that precede the program) to 5.1 during the film or whatever. Most PC-based video converters and many players can't cope with this. The solution that works...- alanofcleeves

Seagate Pipeline 2Tb ST2000VM003
The cause of the overheating remains bit of a mystery. When it happened the fan package had been installed and working for many months but something had contrived to disable it. Disk diagnostics show a peak temp of 62deg (normal for my install is 44 +/-2). Happily the disk seems ok apart from...- alanofcleeves

Seagate Pipeline 2Tb ST2000VM003
Fine here too. I also have a pair, one approaching 4yrs the other a little under 3yrs - around 30k hours between them. Only minor blemish is a few reallocated sectors needed a year ago on the older drive, but the hummy had once allowed it to get too hot.- alanofcleeves

Retune 21-3-18 (Rowridge) - lost Com 8 (Resolved)
I am about 30 miles roughly ENE from Rowridge. Post-retune signal strength of channels on COM8 is pretty much unchanged (around 50 percent with 100 percent quality). I'm fairly sure the aerial is wide-band, installed 10yrs ago. Sorry this doesn't help fix your problem but it does add weight...- alanofcleeves

DLNA and Mediatomb
I can't advise on that - I haven't tried to use its ability to 'cast' to the TV. I just have it connected by HDMI to the bedroom TV and wirelessly to one or other of the HDRs in the house. The onboard GUI allows you to navigate the HDRs file structure to choose what to watch.- alanofcleeves

At the TV end I ended up using a Sumvision Cyclone Micro 4 which can connect to and play files on the HDR, seeing it just as network storage. Its a bit clunky but it does the job.- alanofcleeves
