You can get it to work in media player, but you have to choose the correct codecs to install that work with media player
What you have to watch out for though, is if you do find the correct codec that allows the audio to work, if you then install another media player of another codec pack...
This isn't a problem, this is how it works when transferring files off the Humax
If you just copy the files via Samba or FTP it does not decrypt the file, so you cannot play it on a PC for example and MediaInfo shows no data as per your first picture
For this method to work, you would have to...
I was hoping you would hear the drives spin down when they haven't been accessed for a period of time, which would mean it consumes less power
Seem we're back to square one
Have you tried the installing the auto-mount feature in the CF as BlackHole suggested, because it is supposed pole the...
I have checked in the current Buffalo manual and I now understand what the Auto switch is for
Quote from the manual
The 'auto' is designed to turn on the NAS when a PC is turned on (just as long as it has the 'Navigator' software installed), and then turn off, when the the last PC on the...
Can you clarify that you are talking about wake on lan and not hibernation
Most NAS's with WOL funtionality have 3 possible power states
1. Completely Off - this happens when the power lead is disconnected from the socket - after plugging back in, you have to manually press the on button to...
Synology, who make my NAS have just brought out a new feature called Video Station
This 'Video Station' allows all your stored Video to be watched via a browser - so the web address would be something like http://192.168.0.2:5000/video
I have tested it on my PC and it appears to work...
Perhaps I should have elaborated a little bit more and said:-
If I remove 'disable-ota', and then let the OTA install, will it stop the CF working
But I agree with you, disable-ota is a must have
There are no excuses being offer here at all only advice and any possible work arounds - is it complicated to create a 1 minute video NO - but as I said in my previous post, current software that creates MKV files adds the extra EBML information which @ykno referred to in his post - he even...
I'm sorry I can't help you with your problem, but no, this is not normal
My HDR will turn on/off whether something is recording or not, and I never have to use the switch on the back
Perhaps someone else on here can give some indication to what the issue is
I may have cracked it - all fingers are crossed and plenty of wood has been touched :)
I have downloaded an old Windows version of mkvtoolnix from http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/
It's the one marked mkvtoolnix-2.2.0-setup.exe
If you have another more recent version...
The problem about posting a working MKV is that the files size is normally well over 1GB in size and there is the issue of 'sharing copy-write material', which is illegal
If you are prepared to take the risk and use p2p/bittorrent, then I'm sure you will eventually find one that will play, but...
@ykno
I concur with your finding on the EBML header info
I have run mkvinfo on all my working files, and non of them have the extra info, but every file that does have the extra info fails to play
I have tested this on over 200 files
Also agree that DTS files don't work
With mkv files...
The main reason for the problem was that some users including myself found that when mounted under Media/My Video, it would cause the HDR to lock up all the time The fix was to mount it directly in Media
This is why the 'shareFolder=off' was introduced to the Mod Settings, so that there was a...
The only time I have seen this kind of message is when I have tried to decrypt a HD recording and it has failed - this then renders the recording useless to play on any device including my HDR
The message I get is "The channel is scrambled or not available"
