Hello
To summarise this thread, it is about HUMAX FVP 4000T/5000T: LIVE TV APP / MY HUMAX WEBSITE for REMOTE RECORD, and NETWORK SHARE (DLNA) feature to view SD RECORDINGS, as not possible in streamed HD recordings.
In brief I've resolved the majority of how to (Detailed below), just a few questions:
Questions:
A. Live TV, watch Recordings & Delete Scheduled Programs doesn't work?! Neither via the App/Website, but Remote Recording via TV Guide works ok....
Is this the same issue for all FVP 4000T/5000T owners, or is there another workaround?!
Or perhaps there is a minimum Mbps requirement? As just testing via tethered hotspot on my 4G Mobile Android!
Or more likely an obsolete product that isn't supported anymore?
B. DLNA: Settings, Advanced, SERVER ON. But no playable HD Recordings?!....
TV: (Samsung MU6120 Smart TV), can preview via AV all of my Humax recordings, both SD & HD. However only SD file will play.
Is this prevented by encrypted HD? Hence is there an option or work around?
LAPTOP: (WIN10)
WMP can preview via WINDOWS EXPLORER > NETWORK > FVP-4000T DMS, view all of my Humax recordings, both SD & HD. However only SD file will play.
VLC can preview & PLAY only SD Humax recordings, but then easier to select playable files!
Is this prevented by encrypted HD? Hence is there an option or work around? Perhaps Codec?
THE PRELUDE STORY:
As owner of many Humax Recorders over lots of years, on finally purchasing FVP 4000T 1TB, I reached for my Mobile to download the much heralded APP immeadidately, for feasible urgency comfort of Remote Recording etc, only for Mobile Android to greet me on Google Play with message stating "App was intended for older version of Android", and that it would not work correctly, hence was not available for install.... Hence did a few Google searches only to find many rants from other FVP owners moaning feature doesn't work.... Anyway I did find a v quick workaround, the myHUMAX WEBSITE!, and APP APK DOWNLOADER!
Remote TV Scheduling is a nice touch in a modern world of Unlimited Data with Fast Speeds on your Mobile and/or at a Home... But not all fully featured as hoped:
Here is my quick guide to setup REMOTE RECORD FEATURES via WEB/APP:
REMOTE RECORDING setup: (Settings > Advanced Settings > Remote Recording > ON). Internal Period I set to 10minutes, as you want to check/update regular when setting up.
Register FVP: (Settings > Advanced Settings > Recorder Registration) You need this to setup Account to link in your FVP data
https://www.myhumax.net
Website Scheduling: (Once registered, goto top menu TV GUIDE, then select PROGRAM guide, scroll DATE/TIME/CHANNEL, select available to record PROGRAM (Blue Hi Light) , pop up appears, select RECORD THIS PROGRAM. Also best accessed with Mobile then Laptop, and POSSIBLY to finish new record selections goto MY SCHEDULE (If available!).
https://www.myhumax.net/TVGuide/MySchedule
App APK Download for Install on newer Android, prompts for which Humax App, then generates APK download link, click to download file, when finished goto to downloads & open file, ok to install from other source, once installed HUMAX LIVE TV APP enter your registered Humax ACCOUNT email/password via SETTINGS > MY PROFILE, then select REGISTERED DEVICE to select your local FVP. Once done, goto either SCHEDULES, TV GUIDE, LIVE TV, RECORDINGS. NOTE: Only feature that works for me with this APP is TV GUIDE & SCHEDULES, hence NOT live tv or recordings.

DNLA: (Settings > Advanced Settings > SERVER Management > ON) You need this for your TV and/or LAPTOP to see your recordings, and clearly your LAPTOP needs to be connected to network, I just tethered mobile > laptop.
VLC (SD recordings only): SETUP: View > PLAYLIST > LOCAL NETWORK >UNIVERSAL PLUG N PLAY. PLAY: LOCAL NETWORK >UNIVERSAL PLUG N PLAY > FVP > CONTENT > RECORDINGS: Select File to STREAM/PLAY.
WMP (Windows Media Player): WINDOWS EXPLORER > NETWORK > FVP-4000T DMS: WMP opens > FVP-4000T DMS > VIDEOS: select VIDEO to PLAY (Both SD & HD are previewed but only SD FILES PLAY!)
