I've connected a USB drive to my HDR and thanks to samba I can see and play files on it over the network on my windows 8.1 pc.
However I can't write any files to the usb drive, which is a shame as I would then have a NAS drive on the cheap.
I suspect this might be a windows problem, please can...
It looks like I will have to compromise, by leaving the menu on settings. I rarely need to use the menu button so it should be OK.
Now to see if I can record a macro that works.
As the menu selection is remembered, does that mean there is a file somewhere that is modified?
Although I would not have a clue how you could use it :confused:
Is there a way to change the menu-settings-preferences-video-screen ratio to 4:3 and the format to letterbox with a macro on the rc-app-bridge web remote?
When you press menu it starts at the last item, so just recording a macro would not work, as it won't know where its starting point is.
It wasn't possible to format from the standard menu as the installation item was greyed out.
BTW I now have webif installed, its great. Why ever don't Humax offer something like it?
Looks like its all fixed now. Fix-disk found lots of errors and repaired them.
Many thanks for your support through these difficult times :rolleyes:.
PS That was quite a complicated repair procedure, what do non tech savvy people do? There must be a lot of HDRs out there that could easily...
It does not seem to be deleting anything. But I also found it can't pause live tv. I have an idea this problem is to do with a recording I made of a buffered program, i.e. I returned to the beginning of the program I had been watching and pressed record. This worked but it's went wrong when I...
I will try the custom firmware, after I try the power cycle again. I only turned it off for a few seconds before but I see that it might need longer than that.
Well seems I have broken the forum as well.
I noticed last thing before giving up for the night that the HDR says its deleting. I've seen a thread somewhere about this issue.
I can no longer upload files to my hdr-fox t2. It was working fine until my laptop crashed, and since then no joy. I can still read files on the hdr and watch them with VLC, or copy them off the hdr with ftp.
But I get errors when trying to copy files to it, sometimes server is reset, other...
Thanks, I think that's convinced me that's the way to go. Plus the hdr2000t is cheaper than a youview box :)
BTW I have an HDR fox t2, bbc iplayer works fine, and I believe its the latest version.
I'm not sure about getting a youview box, you seem to lose so many features compared to a hdr2000t (e.g.home networking) just to get a few on demand players. I was thinking I could get a now tv box along with an hdr2000t, but that would mean an extra remote and hdmi connection.
Anyone else...
Hmm my memory must be going then :(
Still on the subject of VLC should it be able to see the humax as a network media player and stream sdef content from it?
I've seen some posts on here that suggest it should, but all I get is VLC not responding when I click on network in the playlist view.
