Looks like you done a bit of research on that one ! :)
When its on Auto the hard disk does seem to spin down and when it wakes up you can hear it starting up and the fan in the unit kicking in.
Looks like the only way to get it working is for a script to run and send the WOL command every few...
It has 3 power options Auto (which requires WOL sending approx every minute to keep it running)
On - always on or scheduled
Off - really off.
Looks like I might have to leave it on 24x7 or just set a schedule to turn on and off every day.
Silly its mangrd in such a way. Guess I should of...
The auto function on the NAS (Buffalo linkstation) comes with a utility that sends WOL packets to keep it awake when a PC is powered on which works great unless you want to use a none PC with it.
Only work around is leaving it permanently switched on.
Just been setting this up myself.
Only problem is its mapped the drive to /Media/Nas and cannot see a way to select it from the Humax. Only options I have is Video Music and Pictures.
Thanks
Thanks af123
Got it installed this morning. Had some problems with portal-xtra1.
It wouldn't run. Tried to force a re-install which made no difference and a restart.
Tried uninstalling it - it wouldn't uninstall rebooted again and it works.
Just got around to installing the update. All is fine but the remote change function display has stopped working (No longer displays what mode the remote is in)
Been looking around for instructions to upgrade the custom FW
Is it a case of copying the files to a memory stick and leaving it to update or is something like prepare for update diagnostic required?
