      Moving Recordings between two Humax Machines

      Thanks for the prompt reply. I realised that it would be slow, but I couldn't even get it to work. The problem seemed to be that the sftp command didn't seem to accept the private key in the .ssh/authorized_keys directory. Is that using betaftpd (which I haven't used before), or some other...

      Moving Recordings between two Humax Machines

      Is it possible to move recordings directly between two Humax Machines using SSH/SFTP (with dropbear-ssh and greenend-sftp)? But I've no objections if someone recommends a much simpler (and hopefully faster) way of doing it. Thanks

      Media List Sort Order

      Perfect response - many thanks. I can only offer the feeble explanation that the documentation differences between MacOS jim v0.81 and Humax jim v0.79 tripped me up. All is now well. Thanks to both /df and prpr for helping me through this journey. It's been quite an education.

      Media List Sort Order

      Being completely ignorant of TCL/Jim, it's taken a while to produce a routine to remove the 0x15 character from my library of existing recordings. Although Jim's string-handling does make it easy simply to remove the 0x15, I did wonder what Jim technique could be used to actually set a specific...

      iPlayer / QTube recent issue?

      Yes, that was my assumption - hence my caution at interpreting what I appeared to be seeing. But maybe someone more expert than me might be able to double-check. Thanks.

      iPlayer / QTube recent issue?

      I've also encountered the same problem. For what it's worth, between invoking the iPlayer app and the crash, my firewall doesn't appear to record any attempt by the Humax to access the internet. This may or may not be relevant - or it may be that I'm just interpreting my firewall behaviour...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      Thanks for all the help in getting to the bottom of my original problem. This appears to be resolved by leaving the Title field at 029A without any string prefix. I'm also grateful for the enhanced explanation of various fields of the hmt file that have been offered in the process. I'm happy...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      Apologies for the earlier blank post. Can you clarify whether you expect the prefix in the Guidance fields to be changed even if their content isn't changed? I'm not sure whether the philosophy is to change all string prefixes into 0x15, except the 029A Title field, or only those that meet...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      I could have have done the test myself of course. If I do actually change the guidance and/or synopsis, then the prefix does get changed. I imagine that's easy enough to fix. I notice that the same changed guidance is applied to both the two fields (offset 03E2 and offset 0741). In one of my...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      Thanks for your prompt reply. The only thing I changed, using the Webif Rename function, was the New Medialist Title, and the New Filename to match it. I specifically did not change the New Synopsis or the New Guidance Text. (Though I wonder whether this has any bearing on why the relevant...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      I've rerun the tests using the Webif rename option, with different SD and HD recordings. I've then examined the hmt files directly, and what is displayed on the screen. In all cases of SD recordings, the 0x106937 prefix for the synopsis field at offset 0616 is unchanged. In those cases of SD...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      I've run Webif crop on a range of SD and HD recordings. In all cases, the file name remains at offset 0180 and the title field at offset 029A no longer has the 0x15 prefix inserted. It looks as though my original concerns (with the sort order in the media list) have been resolved. Thanks to...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      Correct - typo, sorry. Will also check 03E2 when I test a programme with guidance. That's at the heart of many of my comments: the pros and cons of Webif preceding all relevant strings with 0x15 versus sticking with the convention apparently used by the Humax firmware, that strings in the hmt...

      (I'd welcome your comments as to whether this is a useful way to present my results - too long for a start, I suspect). Run on Humax 1.03.12, CFW 3.13 (Build 4028) Webif 1.4.9-8, hmt 2.0.10-4.

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      Thinking about this problem in general, is there a file equivalent of the Webif installed packages list? If so, this could be attached to any post where the information might be important, especially in Beta test mode?

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      Thanks for the detailed comments. As you probably realise, I'm on a steep learning curve. So I won't get everything right first time. I now realise that I should have upgraded the Beta packages after I installed them. Sorry. I am now at hmt 2.0.10-4 (as above) and Webif 1.4.9-8 (presumably...

      Beta [webif] 1.4.9-8

      I've carried out some preliminary tests of the Beta Web-if and hmt packages using a spare machine with Humax firmware 1.03.12 and custom firmware 3.13. As per the instructions, I installed Auto-update 2.0.5 and opkg-beta 1.1. I initially experienced some difficulty in that, although the...

      Media List Sort Order

      Sorry, poor explanation on my part. No, it is exactly as you say. The real surprise was to find that it didn't matter what was in this field, just as it doesn't matter what is in the path name at offset 0x'0080'. Raydon included the latter point in his Wiki documentation for the hmt format...

      Media List Sort Order

      Yes, the whole thing's bizarre. Here's my reading of it - but I stand to be corrected. The Humax base firmware up to 1.02.32 stored it at offset 0x017F, from 1.03.12 it stored it at offset 0x0180. So, from then on, the base firmware had to allow for either. hmt will find the filename in...
