So impressed with the versaility of the custom firmware, and such a shame that it is pretty well forgotten by Humax it seems, though will be interested to see if the "updated browser" for the portal ever appears and whether the IPTV services would kick in then too....
One think I haven't noticed discussed here is if the Humax could re-encode the existing MPEG2 transport streams from a recording into an MP4 format that it could also play, either just as a plain MP4 or ideally with all the program info. to see in "Media" and/or epg info too? I know I can pull the file off and re-encode but a process that worked silently in the background or overnight would be nice![Smile :) :)](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
I don't know enough about it but presumably when you auto-shrink and decrypt etc. you are using codecs to decode and recode, or are you just getting the box to do the work?
The space saving would be amazing of course.
