Auto HD decryption
It's not an issue with overheating the CPU, it's an issue with stability. When I was running unencrypt with the original setting, I found that my box wasn't acting quite as it should after a couple of days and that behaviour seemed to clear up when I set it to only run overnight. At the time, I...- Sam Widges

Remove a package
Is webif disabled for a reason? I'd have thought that most people would have used webif to install these packages, so the logical thing to do would be to use webif to uninstall the packages, which is fine unless webif is broken. Have you got any form of command line access to your HDR-T2? This...- Sam Widges

.ts files unplayable
You need to run "unencryptsetup" to install the crontab entry. It defaults to decrypting all the files, but you can give it a specific directory if you want to experiment.- Sam Widges

Automating rsync backups
Nice work Placemat :) I haven't read the full thread, but do bear in mind that cron jobs can fail if they produce error output while running. The magic incantation ' 2>&1' on the end of the crontab line (you can see it in the examples in the Wiki) solves that. In Linux, writing to the error...- Sam Widges

Networking Idea
Since when have HomePlugs been illegal? Some variants of the technology (not all mains transceivers are HomePlug) don't comply with standards and Radio Hams loathe them with a vengeance, but I'm not sure that they are strictly illegal. You're certainly not going to get the Police coming in and...- Sam Widges

[progbackup] Backing everything up
Unencrypt processes programmes in the media server database and simply matches the search directory against the location of each file as returned by a dump of programmes out of the database. If you have My Video->Archive->Prog1, My Video->Archive->ADirectory->Prog2 and My...- Sam Widges

I've just uploaded a new version to the repository, it should be available in an hour or so - look for progbackup version 0.2b.1.

[progbackup] Backing everything up
Thanks for the feedback - I've never had any of my usb drives mount like that. When I'm next doing some tweaking, I'll update the script to grep for those disks as well. I guess that, now NTFS has reared its head, I'd better check that drives aren't mounted read only as well.- Sam Widges

Content sharing
Content sharing doesn't disable itself, but it can crash - I think that's what the "turn itself off" reference is. If the content sharing is enabled but isn't there, rebooting the box or restarting the humaxtv process should cure that.- Sam Widges

Unencrypt is not unencrypting
Hopefully it is that simple, let me know how you get on. If you want it to run during the day as well, use the editor in the webif diagnostics to edit the crontab line to say: 1,31 * * * * /mod/sbin/unencrypt "/mnt/hd2" > /mod/tmp/unencrypt.log 2>&1 Note the "1-6" is changed to "*" After...- Sam Widges

That's a good point Ezra - I need a message in the installation instructions telling people to leave it on overnight. I'm still confused why this is happening, though >>> Contents of /mod/tmp/unencrypt.log 26.00 bytes -/bin/sh: 1,31: not found- Sam Widges

Drat, I meant to ask you to run /mod/sbin/unencrypt "/mnt/hd2" Please run that command instead.

Unencrypt is not unencrypting
What happens when you run unencrypt on its own? Telnet in and type "/mod/sbin/unencrypt". If you tell me what telnet client you are using, e.g. Windows, Mac, plain Telnet, PuTTY etc. and I'll try and give you some solid pointers to copying some of the output.

Unencrypt is not unencrypting
That looks very strange, like there's something up with cron and it's trying to run that line as the input to another command or similar.

Customised Firmware 2.00
Are you using a powered external hard drive, or a usb-powered drive? It may be that the disk is drawing too much current for the Hummy to source, leading to the problems. This would lead to intermittent failures but it could appear to work absolutely fine on some other systems.- Sam Widges
