ah! observation - the HDD is not spinning for some reason yet it's still working through the sectors - could it have cached it and so the HDD has just spun down. The green light on the HDD Caddy is lit up. Hmmm - puzzling.
HDD is out, Ubuntu 16.04 in use and pleasantly surprised to find it already has photo rec on. However, Every sector it is reading it's saying error reading sector.
Have i run into the humax format not being understood?
I'm assuming I've chosen the correct disk / partition ('2 P' in the pic)...
Thanks for the reply Black Hole.
Just came across this thread talking about extundelete: https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/recovering-a-deleted-recording.7784/#post-106693. Looks a little complicated re the swap file and where the files are saved. One of the folders deleted was /mnt/hd2/My...
Hi All,
As per subject title - I didn't realise it would start going through all the folders, so my fault! Is there something that can be used to undelete the files? Read about https://itsfoss.com/recover-deleted-files-linux/ (testdisk). Would I need this or is there something already on the...
I had to reduce the video bitrate down because there was stuttering playback via samba, (last resort - wouldn't normally convert video but needed to proove that ffmpeg on the system does work as expected and it was purley the mahousive video bitrate that was causing the issue). I've got to wait...
yep.
My testing on the humax is not entirely a true test as the current ffmpeg build doesn't have h.264 encoding capabilities so trying 'mpeg4' as the codec. So far have tried converting 10 minutes but that failed - same messages on VLC. Tried just 60 seconds of video on the humax and that's...
and just a word on the network speed - playing the file from the humax via Samba to my PC is too slow as VLC is constantly increasing the cache. (this is after a reboot aswell). Other humax recorded based programs seem to be fine. Bitrate is about 7.5Mb/s which for a MP4 file is a little...
Update - I downloaded the edited AAC version of the file onto my PC and VLC message is showing this
so yeah - ffmpeg didn't do a good job when doing the full file.
ok, the CHMOD thing has helped - Thanks prpr.
Now I can delve a little further.... A new problem has materialised. It looks like the FFMPEG process ffmpeg -i "23-02-02 CGS X Show - Bugsy.mp4" -c:v copy -acodec aac -b:a 196k "23-02-02 CGS X Show - Bugsy (AAC).mp4" on the terminal window has not...
No Luck. All other files can be access fine without any changes to the smb.conf. I've tried a few different settings but still no luck. I even tried force user = root which then worked but that's probably not advisable. Perhaps now the file is written it doesn't matter what settings I try...
Hi All,
I was just converting the audio of a mp4 file on my humax (it was 10Gb in size so thought it easier to do it on the machine as it was working at almost realtime speed. However upon createing the file, i discovered that the permissions were only set to owner (read and write) whilst...
Hi All,
Just came across this thread. I'm very aware that the radio that comes down from freeview is a MPEG 1 layer 2 so not technically mp3 (MPEG 1 layer 3). There are conflicting messages from different websites and people (apparently in the know) that MPEG 1 layer 2 files should have the...
well after reading all this - I'm none the wiser as to whether anyone has actually found a splitter that does work. The VHD-1X2MN3D looked promising but has anyone actually managed to get one and try it?
Hi All,
Apologies if this has already been asked....When something is being streamed, via UPNP / DLNA to eg. VLC on a PC, is this logged anywhere?
Also when something is being watched or read via SMB, is this logged anywhere?
I've looked thorugh the obvious log files but can't find anything...
Thanks all for the replies and bearing with me.... I've got some god news - I've been holding off using chkdsk as my past experience has been that it's a one way road and sometimes chkdsk can make things worse but on this occasion I'm happy to say that it fixed the issues. This is the report...
Sorry - prp but my lack of knowledge on the difference between partitions and filesystems is showing, I'm learning as I'm going!!
Have just tried both /mod/sbin/fsck.exfat or /mod/sbin/exfatfsck but it reports back the following:
humax# /mod/sbin/fsck.exfat /dev/sdc
exfatfsck 1.2.6
ERROR...
it isn't recognised in the camera anymore, aswell as windows, so I guess that's a different OS which probably means it's not going to be possible to repair the partition info? I've managed to get the files off and am working through them to see what I'm missing. Once fixed, I'll reformat it...
