What does ENC mean on my SD recording?
I will record it on all three machines, to see if there is any difference between them. Though, given your hypothesis, I suspect that it's just coincidence that the three failed recordings all appeared on the same machine. I haven't felt the need for auto-unprotect (so far!) since I never...- escat

What does ENC mean on my SD recording?
My local transmitter is Rowridge (BBC 1 South). I, at least, am saying that auto-decrypt is not properly functioning on the affected recordings. However, note the possible difference between my usage and that which Montys EvilTwin appears to be reporting. In my case, the recording was not...- escat

What does ENC mean on my SD recording?
Sorry, I missed the fact that you had included the .hmt file. I see that, as in my case, the copy-allowed field is set to X'00'. Perhaps you can check whether changing this to X'04' gets rid of the problem? (Even if it doesn't tell us the cause!) Thanks- escat

What does ENC mean on my SD recording?
1) Yes. Specifically: a) Merry Madagascar BBC1 14: 40 20 December; b) Harry Hill in Professor Branestawm Returns BBC1 17:20 24 December; c) Shadow of a Doubt BBC2 00:30 2 January. 2) Indeed. We also need to be aware that this problem was first reported by Kirbett last July, but appears to...- escat

What does ENC mean on my SD recording?
I can add the following provisional observations. 1) I have experienced the problem on one of my machines three times since the 20th December. Twice on BBC1 and once on BBC 2 recordings. One of the programmes was this morning's "Shadow of a Doubt", as reported by EEPhil. 2) I have not...- escat

User Thumbnail Generation Fails
Brilliant! Thanks. I kick myself for not thinking of this. I had noticed that, if I used the web-interface program to set a bookmark in the middle of the (modern) adverts - as opposed to the middle of the (old) progamme - then it was quite happy. Together with your work around, this suggests...- escat

User Thumbnail Generation Fails
af123's Thumbnail Generation feature of the web interface is a really useful feature*. But I find it often fails on a particular class of recordings: specifically, programmes originally transmitted, say, twenty years or more ago and now retransmitted on, say, the Drama or ITV3 channels: Morse...- escat

Some Linux utilities to work with the Humax
A valuable addition to the wiki - many thanks. There have been at least a couple of changes since Raydon published the hmt map: a) The file name field has moved from offset 017F 0180. Both variants may be found depending on the age of the recording. Although the Humax software doesn't appear...- escat

Nicesplice Magic Folders Problems
I can confirm and add to DelftBlue's report. For me, the problem arises if I crop ANY of the recordings I have made from channels on the COM4 Mux (specifically the ITV3 and Drama channels) from the afternoon of September 24th right up to today. I believe that date coincides with either the...- escat

Unable to access web interface after CF install

I agree, there's something really bizarre in all this. When I've got a few hours later in the day, I'll go round all the combinations again and see if I can reliably reproduce, and narrow down, the problem. Thanks, as ever, for your helpful explanations.- escat

Unable to access web interface after CF install
As anticipated, installing 1.03.12 official was successful. As definitely not anticipated, installing CF 3.00 on top was also successful.

Many thanks - that's a relief. I'll try 1.02.32/CF 3.00 as you suggest. Note, I have already installed 1.03.12 official several times (i.e. without CF), and it is OK.
