Register of Weird Crash Symptoms
Not exactly a crash, but breakage. HD Fox-T2: after filling up its 64GB SD card, TSR no longer works (as expected) the on-screen display in Settings>System>Data Storage behaves weirdly: "Format Storage" is disabled (why?) the "disk" is no longer recognised as recordable the disk stats are...- /df

Extract to MPG failure
The ffmpeg command run for Extract to MPG specifies copying both audio and video streams. I expect that it fails if there is no video stream in the .ts. Looking at a decrypted radio show, it has an audio stream and two further non-video streams.- /df

[youtube-dl] Download files from youtube.com or other video platforms
Generally, there is no re-encoding when combining video and audio streams under youtube-dl (or it would not be practical on the HD/R platform). Rather, the streams are multiplexed, frame by frame, into a single container. This works fine for 480, 540, 720 resolutions; 1080+ may cause problems...- /df

[youtube-dl] Download files from youtube.com or other video platforms
That's just the best format with both video and audio. Tell youtube-dl what quality you want and, if no suitable combined format is offered, it will try to get separate video and audio streams matching your requirements and merge them with ffmpeg. Similarly, but more so, for yt-dlp; check the -S...- /df

Dealing with large files for qtube & youtube-dl
Exactly. In the trade this is called "thrashing". The Humax HD/R platform is a toy compared with what developers of programs like ffmpeg are using or probably even envisage being used, despite packing a 1990-ish scientific minicomputer in the box. Hence "the swapper setting should be no larger...- /df

System Flush Finally Fixes Developing Problems While Trialling CF
In London, it's notable that London Live (and other channels on the Local mux) generally fails to rewind in time-shift (probably recording too), stopping with a corrupt image or channel is scrambled. Skipping back (left arrow) is fine. This could be connected to the ~45% reported signal...- /df

[youtube-dl] Download files from youtube.com or other video platforms
In case anyone is trying to access actual YT with the CF youtube-dl, be aware it will fail due to a combination of YT hardening and a latent bug. The latest youtube-dl master code and nightly release solve the problem.- /df

Dealing with large files for qtube & youtube-dl
What happens if you use --hls-prefer-ffmpeg with the large video? There is a limit to how much virtual memory can help, as this blog series explains (when it mentions Postgres, think settop). Hence the swapper setting should be no larger than necessary, but not smaller.- /df

System Flush Finally Fixes Developing Problems While Trialling CF
The decoding is all in the SoC which comprises 2 CPUs and an AV processor (not directly accessible from the Linux world). It's very reminiscent of the sort of thing we used to use for image processing in the 80s, but in one chip instead of 2x19" rack units. A selected channel is extracted and...- /df

IMO the behaviour where the broadcast channel picture freezes while the sound continues is down to a bad video file (DLNA indexing can touch one that you've forgotten) or bad disk area. It's not normally seen with a clean system.- /df
