Not quite. The idea is to put the whole dump in a code box so that readers then have a scrollable window instead of the whole dump being displayed. See Newbies' Guide (click).

WebIf always saying no disk space

Yes, except that the braced items are
$size $used $perc $free $fperc $tsrbuf $tsrused.When that output was generated,
tsrused was much less than 20GiB, causing the illusion of free space.Later, up to another 16GiB could have been added to
tsrused before a TITSUP* scenario.* "Total inability to save under-resourced programmes"

While on LCN:100, I used Diags to enter:
tsr/reset -can't seen any changes (not rebooted)
tsr/disable -can see that the TSR is now disabled on test LCN:1
tsr/enable -does re-enable the buffer as seen pressing play after a bit on LCN:1
Also how do I query the current buffer size/percentage?
I have read from above links cli option as:
Code:
mke2fs -m reserved-percentageI'm unclear how mke2fs relates to tune2fs. It's all new to me!
On a slightly different note: the "save last streamed content: 381MiB"
I want to clear this (dates back to 2021-07-19) and not knowing the cli command I thought I'd just save it (which streamed to my Humax4 OK) and this would clear the buffer but it has not. I deleted the saved clip anyway.
How do I clear this buffer?

rm /mnt/hd3/Streamer_down_fileAnd the TSR buffer is nothing to do with the filesystem reserved space, so don't even go there.
If you start playing with mke2fs rather than tune2fs you will probably end up regretting it fairly quickly.

Correct. The buffer is a standard feature of the official firmware, and the CF just provides access to read it. It's no bother being there, and it will be over-written next time the HDR streams anything (which it won't, because I don't think there's anything left to stream).

It always bothered me, seeing it when I didn't want to.
To add to the replies above...
mke2fs formats a partition, like format in Windows/DOS. You don't want to do that.
tune2fs modifies some attributes of an ext filesystem, like the
I don't think either Humax or we have provided any way to see the actual size of the TSR file/files other than using the command-line as in https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/webif-always-saying-no-disk-space.10729/post-164246 (the last two braced numbers are the TSR reserved size and the amount used for the TSR.
Basically, try keeping more free space to avoid having to worry about it, though I'm not well placed to give that advice just now.

OK...however tsr/disable does not give me the free space (rebooted to check).
I removed another 4+GiB file and now 600+ MiB is now showing free, tsr is still disabled, I guess it does not give it back after all.
Still no problem, was just a bit confused when WebIf said 6GiB was free and after a "copy" of 0bytes files, WebIf (and the main menu) then said 0 bytes free!
Freed up some more space. All seems OK now.
Nice to have learned that I can disable the TSR, one of the reasons why I have my humax boxes boot up to LCN:100 Freeview (to reduce unnecessary loading while file processing).
Shame I can't toggle it on or off from the remote.
Thank you everyone for your help

I mis-read the code. It does indeed work like that. I'll see if that can be improved.
I suppose one use case could be turning off TSR so avoid losing some content that you would like to extract retrospectively using
The TSR processing shouldn't load the Linux system much, as it's just writing a stream that's been handed to it by the AV processor. Writing the TSR to a bad disk might amplify any loading, though.

Running with little free disk space is a pain in the butt.

Is not my main unit. I just used it for archiving and streaming on occasion, so it's not a problem.
It's usually switched off.

I meant on the Humax menus on the TV screen, not on the Web Interface.
Menu, Settings, System, System Information - if you could take a picture and post it, that would be good (obscure the MAC address if you like).

Do you have a specific reason for running such out-of-date firmware?

Thanks. Would you mind trying extracting the loader in to a file, then zip and PM it to me?

If all you want is a copy of 7.31, I have the relevant .hdf in captivity without bothering to extract it.
