I ran some tests today with a number of recordings - all SD. I ran each recording with the nts regeneration option set to On and Off in turn. The results were as expected. Without nts regeneration the Played Time fields in the nts records were apparently arbitrary. With nts regeneration they...
Mea culpa! Automatic regeneration of the .nts file has been a great help, even though it does take time. The sidecar routine has separate options to regenerate each of the two files, .hmt and .nts. Might those options be taken advantage of somehow?
I'm not sure whether this was meant for me or not. If so, we may be at cross purposes? I've never used detectads (the log is empty) and I only use autorun for decrypting recordings (which are in the log). Our usage of crop would appear to be quite different. Having said that, I'm quite...
Sorry. That was my mistake - and my sloppy description. I shouldn't have said on the 'bookmarks option', which incorrectly gave the impression that the bookmarks option couldn't be selected.. I should have said that on the resultant bookmarks display , the non-existent bookmark is displayed...
I sure do!
I'm not sure yet. I've only ever used crop 'manually', so this treatment of bookmarks is not what I expected. I've never used detectads so I will need to think what I would expect in those circumstances. But please feel free to go ahead without me!
I'm sorry: I shouldn't have bothered you with these other problems. I hadn't realised that you hadn't been looking in detail at crop. I can now see that they've long existed before now. Please feel free to ignore them.
One normally expects the in-progress crop screen to show a progress bar like this
When I previously ran this same crop, the progress showed zero continuously until the crop actually finished. This time it behaved as expected.
Conversely on a different programme, the progress bar showed zero...
I always set Save new bookmarks to "no". I normally expect the Bookmarks option on the Opt drop-down to be greyed out, but in my tests it is active, resulting in:
The bookmark counter in the hmt file (X'298') is set to zero, so the bookmark address fields should be ignored.
I attach the...
Thanks for all your comments. I had guessed that you had incorporated the link to sidecar, but glad that it's confirmed. It will make testing much simpler.
I'll re-run the tests on the other points, to confirm the results and provide more detail. In any case, they are just nits, not serious...
That looks to have done the trick, thanks. I'll continue testing since I've only had a limited sample so far. In summary:
1) The problem occurred on different boxes, on different channels (and different multiplexes). It happened frequently, but I can't be certain it happened on every...
With apologies for coming late to the party..
I've used crop most days for several years, but never run into this particular problem. Very occasionally I've noticed that it sometimes it appears to finish without giving a full 'completed' message. In these case sometimes it has finished and...
I relied on that for several years, until - some time ago - it started being less consistent. I've now got a hub with individual power switches, so it ought to be easier for me to experiment.
This question is way above my pay-grade, but my guess is that it's part of a Plug and Play mechanism...
Correct - more or less. The name appears if you select Media -> Video -> USB.
If I attach 4 different generations of Seagate device, I get the following list of 'names':
Portable
Portable
Go Flex
Expansion Desk
You will see that they are not the names of the devices in any technical sense...
Yes, thanks. I have used a similar sort of work around for years. I just make sure that I have a different number of main directories on each drive. The Humax screen reports these as 'files', of course, but it works. The other work around that I've used in the past is simply to buy two...
Brilliant! That does display the correct Volume names. I have to confess that I'd never even noticed the eject button before.
Of course, that doesn't help me when I'm looking at the TV screen. But the drives do appear in the same order on the screen as in the WebIF list. So presumably the...
