That seems to have partially fixed it. The changed Medialist title shows in the Humax Media list, and also shows when pressing i, but does not show when pressing i during playback.

My Humax has full auto-update on all packages, does that count ?
Progress then, how about 1.1.16?

Upgraded hmt package to 1.1.15 works. ... both the medialist title and the i-panel title are edited the same now ... thanks again af123.
The original title remains however if I press the info button when the programme is playing back.
Try 1.1.16

Makes no difference to 1.1.15, original title remains when playing programme back.
Did you set the title to something else after upgrading? You can always change it straight back but it's the change that updates the hmt file.

Yes, I tried changing the programme title twice to something else and the changes were not reflected in the info panel when playing back the programme.

I have checked the hmt file and you can see all but the top two are changed to Whiteadder (I chose this to goof off with), so I think this will help you to amend the hmt package.
The top two are the path and filename, they are changed by the +setfilename option.

Hi xyz321,
Welcome to our discussion, are you in any way related to af123 ... Lol ?
I changed the path folder and filename to Whiteadder also and the top two in the hmt file are now changed, after a reboot of the Humax I may add.
I decrypted the programme and scanned the .ts file for the original name Blackadder, but no luck.
I cannot find anywhere in all the files for this programme the name Blackadder, and yet it still persists when I press the info button when playing back.
My conclusion is that the info has to be somewhere else on the HDD.

Nope, still getting Blackadder even though I changed the contents of the .series file to Whiteadder, so it is not getting it from there, it must be in a cache file somewhere, but I cannot access the files in the mnt folder on the Humax HDD anymore with Filezilla ??? I get: Error Connection closed by server Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing ... this might be deliberate programming by one of the packages to stop us from accidently corrupting the files in there.

In the .ts file itself?
Test: Taking a recording which spans two programmes. Decrypted but not stripped. Playing the file via the HDR, the i-panel shows the EPG data and synopsis for Programme 1 when you are watching Programme 1, and change to show the details for Programme 2 when you are watching Programme 2. This data seems to be 'in' the .ts file, not the .hmt file, because playing the .ts file with VLC shows the programme title from the EPG for Programme 1 at the top of the screen, and this will then change to show the programme name for Programme 2.
However once the recording has been 'stripped', the i-panel shows only one set of details throughout and VLC only shows the .ts filename continuously. If the programme was recorded live, or time-shifted, the i-panel of a stripped recording shows the first programme data encountered, but for an AR or padded recording it shows the data for the target programme.
(Also see in VLC when playing a file - Tools menu, Media/Codec Information)
Some of this discovery occurred during trying to get files which had the correct titles/data/synopsis (as per my inept workaround mentioned earlier in this thread) Also I found that decrypted and unstripped files always play nicely with VLC - but occasionally a decrypted and stripped and cropped file does not - and the files that won't play usually show some random programme name (from the same Mux) along the top of the screen. To get them to play the file has to be re-cropped. I figured its something in the lead-in of the .ts file which has to be correct or lined-up with the target programme in order to play on VLC.
HTH, but if it doesn't, then good luck and Merry Thursday
An HMT file for a recording that spans multiple programmes contains multiple EPG data blocks near the end. Each EPG block has an associated value which is the number of seconds into the recording that the information becomes relevant. The hmt command line utility shows the information, see below. For AR recordings these aren't usually there.
Code:
humax# hmt The\ Sixth\ Sense_20111007_2102.
Title:The Sixth Sense
ITitle:i7The Sixth Sense
Channel:15 (Film4)
...
EPG Blocks:3
Block:1 Time:0 Offset:0x30c0
Block1_Title:i7The Sixth Sense
Block:2 Time:7511 Offset:0x3380
Block2_Title:i7Raising Arizona
Block:3 Time:0 Offset:0So the iPlate will change to show Raising Arizona 7511 seconds into the recording.
The latest version of hmt changes the title of each EPG block as well as the Title and ITitle when the title is changed.
It is possible that it does read the EPG data in the TS stream (which would explain why a shrunk recording doesn't change in the same way).

If as you say that the TS stream does indeed contain EPG data, can it be changed, or will this take too long to process, ... I'm thinking the .ts file would need be to decrypted first, then scanned for the relevant data, and finally updated ... maybe not even possible ?
