I have noticed that I am getting ghost recordings listed in the recent activity device log on the hummypkg RS website. For example, Eastenders is recorded as a series. Here are some example entries from the log:

The change of the indication for files being decrypted in the status ribbon in 0.13.2 is really appreciated. There's no doubt it will reduce confusion for new users (and existing ones!) in the future.
Thanks af123!
I don't know if this is the right place to report this, but using WEBIF 0.13.1-1 this evening to check the master HDR operation, when the status ribbon popped up correctly listing two programmes that were being recorded, but also incorrectly listing a third programme being recorded! This was...
Sorry, I should have made it clear I was using network-mounts, not DLNA. I thought I had by listing foxlink in the installed packages, but I can see now that doesn't tell you anything!
I initially tried the standard DLNA client-server approach. The problem with it is the FF/RWD functionality...
I've had both HDRs freeze up (unresponsive to remote control or panel switches, but still responsive to webif/rs), following playing content from the other HDR. I haven't tried to "stream" in only direction - while testing I've always "streamed" in both directions, though not simultaneously...
The speed in the other direction is ~10Mbps, and that's enough for a HiDef programme to play ok, as long as there's not much other traffic on the LAN. (I calculate a 30 min 1.5GB HiDef file equates to ~6.5 Mbps average, excluding the TCP/IP protocol overhead).
I'm pretty happy that all of the original 5 problems, except one, have been solved, or I know what I've got to do (in the case of the LAN).
The one outstanding problem relates to the HDR getting stuck in a mode where it no longer responds to the remote control or the front panel switches, and...
Sorry - I didnt mean to say "unencrypt". I'm using auto-decrypt, and its now running fine on both HDRs, ever since the 0.13.0 firmware upgrade. So I'm putting the problem of it not working for 4 days down to something in the previous version of CF. :)
Thanks for all of your suggestions DelftBlue.
I have D-Link 200Mbps HomePlugs. Ran test as you suggested, and the speeds between the 4 units in different rooms varies from 160Mbps down to 6Mbps!! Of course, the 6Mbps would have to be between the 2 HDRs!
At least I've found the cause of the stuttering playback problem. Now I've just got to...
The HDR appears to get into a mode where it no longer records any programmes in the schedule. This mode is consistent with it no longer responding to the remote control or front panel switches. The only way to get it out of that mode, and start recording again, is a reset - either via webif or...
I'm not aware of anything running Twonky on the LAN. There is a MacBook Pro, two Windows laptops (XP and 7) plus various iPads/iPhones on the LAN from time to time. We've not set up media sharing on any of them explicitly. Might Twonky be running on any of those? How can I check e.g. does it...
I may try that temporarily, but I understand the DLNA servers must be running to allow me to share files between HDRs. And that feature is the whole reason for having the Hummys in the first place.
Is anyone else running fox link without any problems?
Would I be better off going the...
One of the HDRs is frozen again! By that, I mean it won't respond to the remote control or the front buttons. The webif is running, and so I've checked the DLNA server, which is also reported to be running.
It's happened sometime In the last 12 hours, after I carried out the playback testing...
Thanks BH. It'll be a challenge as both HDRs are downstairs, and the router is upstairs! Will try to find some cables long enough...
In the meantime, I've done a bit more testing with the HomePlug setup, with the following results:
- Simultaneous playback on both HDRs of an SD program stored...
Thanks for the suggestions, Ezra.
I have Content Sharing = On on both units. Next time it occurs, I'll check the DLNA server status as suggested, and report back.
