      Handmaid's Tale

      I noticed that the series link I set up for the Handmaid's Tale on Channel 4HD had not updated after the first episode. I set it up again but it seems that this series has now been given the same series CRID as a programme called 'Handmade': If you set up a series link for one of the series it...

      RS/ Local Schedule Discrepancy

      I tried to record a programme on a minor channel (Now 70s) and scheduled it with RS (remote scheduling). However a different program ended up in the schedule. It seems that RS and the local schedule on the machine are out of sync: RS Local schedule I have not seen this before but then it is a...

      [ntfs-3g] - HD-FOX: ntfs-3g (virtual-disk2) bug.

      I wanted to use my HD-FOX to download some recordings. It had been left in standby but I hadn't used it for a while. Webif gave the 'no disk detected' page and the telnet landing page warned of 'areas of the disk being unmounted'. I ran the 'df' command and got the following: HDFox# df -h...

      RS Problem after Retune

      I have retuned my main machine to update after recent COM 7 and 8 changes. Now on the remote scheduling website I am missing a lot of channel entries in the EPG. I have done the obvious things: run all the appropriate RS diagnostics listed in the wiki and cleared my browser cache. I have noticed...

      Odd Behaviour of LED Candles

      My sister received a set of 3 LED 'candles' as a birthday present. They are different heights, and are wax coated so look quite realistic; a lot nicer than I'd imagined. Anyway, they come with a remote control and can change colours, or stay one colour of your choice; they can also flicker or...

      Avoid Loss of iPlayer?

      There is firmware update available for the HDR-2000T (see this thread). Without the update, this model will be unable to access iPlayer from sometime later this month. I think that this is due to the new requirement to log in to iPlayer with a BBC account, which is currently rolling out across...

      Basic NTS file editor

      I have been using ffmpeg to remux edited recordings, and the sidecar package to create new NTS files. I have observed some odd behaviour with H.264 video. If you rewind back to the start of a recording. The on screen time marker jumps to the end of the progress bar and stays there. You can still...

      CFW 3.11 hard drive disappears

      I am having a problem with CFW 3.11 on the HD-FOX. I occasionally run e2fsck to check the USB hard drive. There can be problems with lack of memory if the disk has many faults, but it mostly works fine. After upgrading to CFW 3.11, and running e2fsck the hard drive is no longer recognised. I...

      Webif - strange language format

      A strange one this; a couple of times today when navigating to Webif>browse media files with Google Chrome for Android, a message pops up telling me that the page is in 'Hmong' and asking if I want it translating to English. Selecting yes makes some of the capital letters lower case, and deletes...

      Replicate 'mod' folder when changing disk

      I am going to upgrade the disk on one of my HDR-FOX units. In the past, when installing a new disk, I have tried to copy the 'mod' folder from the old disk after installing and formatting the new one. I never got this to work properly, with some files not copied: the mod folder and some of its...

      RS 'Failed to Record'

      Recently I've been getting messages like this when I log in to RS: I thought that RS ignored items in folders with bracketed names, e.g. [Deleted Items]? The messages are not reporting failed recordings, but do indicate the presence of stray hmt files. It seems that the Undelete package...

      HDR-FOX Behaviour after Mains Power Outage

      In the event of a power outage, the HDR-FOX can end up in the half-awake state when the power returns. This happens if the unit was fully awake when the power cut occurred. If the mains supply is interrupted while the unit is in full standby, when the power comes back on, it boots up briefly...

      RS communication problem

      I look after a HDR-FOX at a different location (I am there at the moment). Remote scheduling is working but there is a communication problem. The unit is on 3.10/ 1.03.12 (CFW/ FW) and packages update automatically. When the unit is fully awake (manual intervention) the behaviour is as expected...

      HDR-FOX Lock up - custom firmware problems afterwards

      One of my machines locked up and I had to switch it off using the rear switch. After turning it back on, I could not access webif: it gave me a '500 - internal server error'. I ran fix disk which corrected a number of filesystem errors. A second fix disk run gave no errors, but still no webif. I...

      AC3 Audio - correct hmt file settings

      I have recently copied some recordings from my Panasonic DVD/ HDD/ VHS recorder to an HDR-FOX T2. These recordings are comprised of several VOB files with MPEG2 video and AC3 audio. I used TSMuxer GUI to join the VOB files and remux them to a single m2ts file per recording. I then created...

      Compatible USB Sticks

      I recently bought a couple of Toshiba TransMemory U202 USB sticks (16GB) see here. I had no problems updating the firmware of several HDR-FOX units with these. Thought I'd post about this in case anyone is looking for an inexpensive USB stick of known compatibility.
