Hummypkg Remote Scheduling reporting failed recording but can't find it on Humax??

Every day I get a message from Hummypkg Remote Scheduling advising me that a specific recording has failed. Every day I delete the message from https://rs.hpkg.tv/, but it re-appears the next day. The recording in question is nowhere to be found on my Humax (HDR-Fox T2 with custom firmware), although other recordings of the same show are there. Even a search of the file system does not locate the recording on the Humax.
Any idea what might be causing this, and how I can get rid of it?
 
You don't send the quote marks. eg. :-
Code:
Humax1# ls -la
total 17
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root  183 Apr 26  2017 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root  183 Apr 26  2017 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  706 Apr 26  2017 bin
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 2140 Feb  7  2014 dev
drwxr-xr-x  9 root root  446 Apr 26  2017 etc
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root   23 Feb  7  2014 home
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root  713 Apr 26  2017 lib
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  120 Nov 22 15:34 media
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root   84 Mar 15  2016 mnt

You can also try ls -latr to get date order (newest at the bottom)

OK so ls -la returns a complete list of files in /media/My Video. The episode in question is not among them. I ran the same command in the folder for the series (/media/My Video/series name) and it listed other episodes, but not the one that is reported as failed
???
 
I've copied and pasted the results of
Code:
ls -la *.hmt
into a text editor, then searched for the hmt file using the exact filename copied and pasted from
Code:
rs.hpkg.tv
. Nada.
???
 
Here's the error report from rs.hpkg.tv:
2019-11-22 161603 shop.jpg


And here's the output from "ls -la":
Code:
humax# cd /media
humax# ls
Asus      My Music  My Photo  My Video  drive1    foxsat
humax# cd "My Video"
humax# ls -la *.hmt

There is a recursive option for ls eg ls -R name but I can't get it to work, you could try a find from the route directory like this :-
Code:
Humax1# find -name "The Secret Life of Dogs_20130131_2101.hmt"
./mnt/hd2/My Video/The Secret Life of Dogs_20130131_2101.hmt
 
I did try the find command (which I believe is recursive?) in the /media/My Video folder but it returned no results:
Code:
humax# find . -name "Shop Well for Less_20180919_2006.hmt"
humax#
 
find is recursive so if you executed the above find from the route directory, (check with pwd), then I think you would have to conclude that the Humax somehow has a record of a file that is no longer present
Code:
Humax1# pwd
/
Humax1# find . -name "Spaced_20140417_0010.hmt"
./mnt/hd2/My Video/Spaced/Spaced_20140417_0010.hmt
 
The file list in RS only gets updated once a day as it's quite an expensive operation. I suggest leaving it overnight and checking tomorrow, or forcing a push by running the rs/sync diagnostic.

(or the rs/diskpush diagnostic if you want to be more selective)
 
It's been reporting the same failed recording for the last week, so I'm guessing it should have refreshed by now?
Code:
humax# pwd
/media/My Video
humax# find . -name "Shop Well for Less_20180919_2006.hmt"
humax#
 
What does the log on RS say?
What does the log on the Humax say? - "tail /mod/tmp/rs.log" (without the quotes!)

It might be worth a fixdisk run as well, to rule out any funnies with the filesystem.
 
tail /mod/tmp/rs.log gives this:
Code:
humax# tail /mod/tmp/rs.log
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
Error encountered, >>> Unregistered device.
humax#
Will try a fixdisk....
 
The above command is normally sent from the Webif Diagnostics page, to send it from a telnet command line you add diag, like this :-
Code:
Humax1# diag rs/sync
