[BootHDR] A method of decrypting recordings on the HD-FOX T2

[prpr]

Curiously, wget only lists bootHDR, so does that mean it is not needed for WebIF decryption after all?

wget is provided by the busybox package and is a dependency of webif.
The wget package has an executable with more facilities, should you need them. I guess it's compatible for basic operations with the busybox one.

Thanks. wget is not shown installed on my other HDRs so I take it as safe to remove.

When installing BootHDR on a HD-FOX, the installation appears to hang. If you cancel, eventually you get a another dialogue box pop up. Click OK to close this. The installation does work. To remove, on a HD-FOX, uninstall as standard through package management. The initial installation creates the folder HDRfs (and its contents) in the /mod folder: this is not deleted when the package is removed. I delete this folder, using Web-If, to finish off the uninstall. I don't know what happens on a HDR-FOX as you will already have a HDRfs folder. On the HD-FOX, these files are installed on /drive1. If you had USB drive attached when you installed did it create the HDRfs folder on the external drive?

Thanks. The HDRfs folder was found under /mod on the internal HDD. I have uninstalled bootHDR, humidify, squashfs-tools, and wget, and removed the HDRfs folder. I presume I have restored my previous state.

I think I have found a mistake in the bootHDRmode script:

# check we are not currently recording
if [ "$1" != "-force" ]; then
    pid=`/mod/bin/busybox/pgrep humaxtv`
    open="`/mod/bin/lsof -p $pid | /mod/bin/busybox/egrep '.*Video.*\.ts'`"
    if [ -n "$open" ]; then
        echo "Not booting into HRDMode now - open video. Use -force to override"
        echo "$open"
        exit 1
    fi
fi

I presume that should 'HDRMode' five lines from the end of the section, but I don't know if this is important or not.

I don't know if this is important or not.

It is an error, but it isn't important.

It would be useful if the last line of the installation report read "Configuring bootHDR (this may take several minutes)".
