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...
The files on the HDR are already decrypted and shrunk (auto-decrypt and auto-shrink) and files less than 2GB transfer OK. The PC is running 32bit Windows 7. The 2GB limitation happens in both directions but with differing results. If I try to copy a 2.6GB .ts file from the PC to the HDR using...
Further to my previous posts, it looks as if there is a further problem with Samba and files larger than 2GB. I have been using FTP (Filezilla) to copy files larger than 2GB back to the HDR from a PC successfully. However, I continued using a Samba share to copy files in the other direction as...
I keep receiving failed recording emails for recordings that had failed but have since been deleted from the HDR-Fox T2 box.
I have checked the HDR My Video disk to verify that the files pertaining to the failed recordings or parts of them (particularly the .hmt files) are no longer there...
Hi Mike0001, thanks for that. I'd become blinkered going down the Samba route and didn't think about using FTP instead. Installed Filezilla on the PC, connected to the HDR and copied the files back OK. Only problem is that after all that I couldn't decrypt them as I'd deleted the .nts and .thm...
Further to my previous post. I tried copying the same file (larger than 2GB) to my Foxsat-hdr running the custom firmware and this worked OK. This is running 2.2.12, which is the same version that the HDR-Fox T2 is running. So my question is, why does it work on the Foxsat but not on the HDR-Fox?
Thanks for that, changed the entry in the smb.conf file and Windows properties for the network drive is now reporting the correct size but I still can't copy the file back. It says that there is insufficient space on the HDR drive. I presume that Samba is reporting an error that Windows is...
I'm trying to copy some files from a Win7 PC back to a HDRFOX-T2 via a Samba share. The copy fails with no space on the destination drive although there is plenty of space available. If I look at the HDR drive using properties on the PC the size shows as 56.4GB instead of the real size of...
