Thanks for the thoughts.
That was my thinking - but I don't know much about the technicalities of disk failures so wanted to check with more knowledgeable people.
That would have been my next question :lol:
I would start an immediate and ongoing backup of everything if people thought it signs...
That is a very good question!
I haven't looked into it so I have no idea based on facts, but my suspicion would be that it does infringe them. That is purely based on my knowledge of what companies have managed to patent in other sectors and that Tivo have quite a few patents around PVRs. It...
Hi,
Over the weekend WebIF had a banner about HDD problems. Initially it was:
Disk pending sector count is: 8
Disk offline sector count is: 8
Which was reflected in the SMART data. At that point Reallocated_Sector_Ct was 0.
The first thing I did was fix-disk. When running I had a loop of...
Tackling this from a different direction - that is a good case for using a decent DLNA media server rather than putting them on a disk you plug directly into the Humax. Most DLNA servers have options for what indexing they present to you so you can do stuff like that.
The downside of that is...
As another ex-Topfield user (well, I use both side-by-side still) I have to agree with Ron and TonyC. I'm sure the Humax user interface is one of the best that has ever been on the market, but to me that is like saying the user interface is the best badly designed UI around. The native...
Thanks for the info. Just what I needed to be sure of my SQL. I will probably look at jim in the future as it certainly does look like it makes things easy once you have got pas the initial learning curve (which shouldn't take too long).
I guess I am just paranoid as my day job involves maintaining very large and complex systems that have been very badly written in the past with no documentation, so changing something that seems obvious can have disasterous consequences if you are not aware of the hidden dangers.
I have done that on a couple of cases so far and it fits my plan, but as I as I don't fully understand the contents of all the columns I just want to check if there could be any unintended consequences of what I am doing.
I have other reasons for wanting it to be set to the correct folder at the point of recording rather than shortly afterwards. Some of my recordings are sorted by sweeper and will remain that way, but there are some cases where I need it recorded directly into the correct folder rather than...
I have a bit of a techy question. I am thinking of doing a little tweek involving updating certain timers automatically. Not (yet) knowing Jim - I am inclined to do it with a simple SQL triggered by a cron job, but wanted to check if there are any fundamental problems with what I am thinking...
Please do. What will you do about the NAS ip address? You could do a setting for it. You could leave out the whole -s x.x.x.x and that would block all DNLA media servers from communicating from/to the Humax, but that would seem a bit extreme.
I agree on the naming. Whilst it is limited to...
I had a chance to have a play and I have a partial solution using iptables.
I have created /mod/etc/init.d/S22twonkyblock with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 50001 -s 192.168.1.1 -j DROP
Where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of my NAS that runs Twonky 7.
This...
Mine is a wired connection to the Humax, but to get to the QNAP it then goes over a wireless bridge so there is a wireless element to the connection. So, as far as anything which is likely to make a difference is concerned (i.e. network drivers/routines on the Humax) it is wired. If it is some...
That is odd - I have auto-update working and it is still giving that filename. But that isn't really important.
Thanks. That is perfect. I have turned the watchlist off for now and will turn it on if/when I have a play with putting something in there.
I'm not too bothered by it. The only...
That may be an option I take - but it does have a new option in there that is particularly useful to me, so it is a case of deciding which features I want and how much effort I put in to trying to get to the bottom of it etc .
I am quite happy with command line stuff, so I think it is worth me...
Sorry, I'm resurrecting an old thread here.
My QNAP has just had a firmware update and that has moved it onto Twonky 7 causing the Humax crashing problems. I have done the blocking fix for now to stop it rebooting (I hope).
The problem is, I use the NAS-Humax connection a lot. I have some...
My TVDiary log is full of errors saying:
Building watchlist failed. [The /var/lib/humaxtv/rsv.db database is missing.]
I can browse rsv.db fine.
I presume that is also related to the fact that when I go to the TV Diary it often has things like 'Sorry, unavailable due to server error' showing in...
