A portable with an HDMI connection to the Humax box - it would be nice if you could do it from a phone/tabletThanks @MymsMan aerial is in the loft so should be okay when I have someone to check on the tv as I move it. Or then again I could get a portable up there but who has one nowadays what
Is it understood when the strength and quality values that are displayed from channel.db are updated? Or are you just saying that the web page doesn't automatically refresh?The Web if doesn't update ...

in addition to the alt
attribute of the progress image, a new line 6 in webif/html/diag/progress.jim
as follows: title=\"$percent%\"
That is exactly how it works, I.e. the data is only updated during a re-tuneThe Webif display seems to reflect the values when first tuned rather than the on-screen display in Menu >> Settings >> System >> Signal Detection.
Even worse if you use Tunefix-update instead of retuning the box the Mux can move to a totally different channel without the information being updated, there was a suggestion that Tunefix-update would clear out the stale data but I don't know if that has happened yet.That is exactly how it works, I.e. the data is only updated during a re-tune
It hasn't. I figured that if the only way to update the data is to retune the box, then you might as well do it anyway and not bother with tunefix-update, as it's fewer steps.Even worse if you use Tunefix-update instead of retuning the box the Mux can move to a totally different channel without the information being updated, there was a suggestion that Tunefix-update would clear out the stale data but I don't know if that has happened yet.
...If the box can display live info it should be possible for the webif to do the same but it would take some time and detective work ...
strings /usr/bin/humaxtv
.nm -D
reveals no obviously relevant external calls from humaxtv, such as through the Broadcom Nexus API: perhaps it uses direct ioctls on /dev/brcm0
to run the tuner?The challenge is to find where/how.It looks as if the humaxtv binary obtains the current signal strength and quality internally and stores the data in RAM
It is, for when the stupid Humax software zeroes out all the entries when doing a manual tune, apart from the mux. being tuned. Tunefix then restores the cached copy when it next runs.I suppose the duplicate freq.db/TBL_FREQ is tunefix thing?
