Records, But Won't Live Pause!

Black Hole

May contain traces of nut
I had a bit of an issue with my (bedroom) HD-FOX+SSD a few days ago, it did a factory reset while I was away (deja vu all over again - but that was a HDR-FOX)... never seen a HD-FOX do a factory reset before (these events are remarkably coincident with the regionalisation of HiDef, but note they occurred before I retuned; I have one unit left so far unretuned, I'm waiting for that to have a factory reset spasm).

Anyway, having set it all up again and rebooted, it then went into factory reset again! That got me worried, but since then it's been working OK... except I've now discovered it's not live buffering.

I presume this is something to do with the 0.ts partition (whatever that might be on HD-FOX), so I went into maintenance mode to try a fixdisk... but found there isn't fixdisk on the HD-FOX maintenance mode menu.

I checked media/drive1/.tsr/0.ts exists, and it does, and I've tried the tsr/reset diagnostic, so what now?

Hmm. 0.ts is now missing – is that due to tsr/reset?

I de-assigned the drive by writing "0" to the UUID register:

Code:
echo -n 0 > /var/lib/humaxtv/ext_hdd_info

Rebooted, and sure enough Menu >> System >> Data Storage showed no drive assigned for recording. I then used the same menu to assign the drive.

No change: records, but no TSR.

Last idea: tsr/reset; de-assign; reboot; assign. Sweet FA.

What does ls -la /media/drive1 report?
Then ls -la /media/drive1/.tsr ?
And mount | grep /media/ ?
 
Your wish...

It doesn't strike me that says anything we didn't already know.
 
Interesting...
You don't have a .swap file that I do (ah, reason for that is that I'm using my own swapper package - the stock one doesn't work on the HD).
Presumably Parking is something you've copied from elsewhere by some means, given the odd user/group names?
You should have 0.ts, 0.nts and 0.hmt in .tsr so it's not surprising the TSR buffer doesn't work.
What is Settings, Preferences, Recording, Time Shift Recording set to?

There's nothing in it, I guess I set it up for some temporary reason or investigation.

:eek:

If I ever knew about that I had forgotten it, I don't recall having had to set it up (but who knows). I documented the HDR-FOX menu system but that's a difference. I'll get back to you...
