Repeated crashing

[Steve G]

I am getting repeated messages that my box has crashed, and on start up today it rebooted a number of times. Any idea why?

It usually indicates some filesystem or DLNA database corruption or a media server elsewhere on your network that's upsetting the Humax.

As a first diagnostic step you could turn off Content Sharing.

Just checked, content share is already set to 'off' and, as far as I know, I have no media servers.

It's probably corruption of the file system then. It sounds like you're running Custom Firmware so I'd recommend running the fix disk process from maintenance mode.

I am running the custom firmware and the diagnostics are showing no problems, where do I find the maintainance mode?

You need to access the Humax with a telnet client rather than a web browser see http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Maintenance_Mode

Thanks. I'll give it a go and let you know.

That seemed to work, many thanks for your help.
