[webif] Web interface

The join function doesn't seem to be working very well. I tried sticking the two parts of North Sea Hijack together, it seems to have done it but showed no progress in the bar until I refreshed the page, didn't go back to the media list when clicked, and named the file "North.ts" when I asked for "North Sea Hijack".

Update: tried another and it behaved as expected (not sure about the naming, it was one word). Took an age to clock up to 100%, when it arrived there was a completion report. Tried the North Sea Hijack again, and the same thing happened as before. No progress until (after a while) I refreshed the screen, at which it was 100% with no progress report, and a resulting file called "North" the right size. Checked it over and it plays fine, seems to be complete.

In another situation I tried to cut&paste a .mp4 into a folder, and it refused to move.
 
I've just uploaded version 0.9.14. This largely rolls up the changes which have been incrementally introduced in the 0.9.13-X series but does include upgrades to the javascript library components which should make things feel a bit snappier..
0.9.14 (8/10/2012)

  • Upgrade javascript library to JQuery 1.8.2;
  • Upgrade to JQuery UI 1.8.24 + internal restructuring of files;
  • Provide JQuery Mobile 1.2.0;
  • Trap and skip errors in web interface plugins (rather than just stopping);
  • Avoid runtime error in package management with no connectivity;
  • Add basic viewer for backed-up schedules;
  • Don't reload package management screen following every operation;
  • Default to Installed tab in package management;
  • Improve recording file in-use check;
  • When performing operations on a group of recording files, use only expected suffixes. That is it no longer operates on recording_name.* but rather recording_name.ts, recording_name.hmt, ...;
  • Automatic background tasks now check for at least 10% free disk space before proceeding;
  • Add Paste to Folder option.
 
Minor thing: in media browser, when a folder is empty, the path listing at the top shows "0iB". As the content normally ranks in GiB, I suspect smaller sizes would show as MiB or KiB.

I recommend getting rid of the "i" completely.

Indeed, thanks - it shouldn't be there for the bytes case. I'm not removing it for the other units though.

MiB? Even GiB is not conventional, but that's your choice.

Why do you say that?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte

It has been accepted for use by all major standards organizations...The mebi- prefix was defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in December 1998. Its use (and related units) is presently endorsed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in contexts where use of a binary prefix makes sense

First time I've heard of that! :eek:

Unless I've gone selectively blind, it does not seem to be in common use - the standards organisations may have rationalised binary versions of kilo, mega, and giga, but in all my time the organisations I've worked for distinguished 1000 from 1024 by "k" or "K", and the interpretation of M or G by context.

Fair enough then.
 
It isn't widely used (but it should be). It does nicely resolve the ambiguity regarding whether I'm using powers of 2 or 10; MiB is always 2^20 but until people start using it more widely MB will always be ambiguous.
 
A mistake I commonly come across is use of "b" for "byte" instead of "bit".

Hi everyone, I've recently installed the custom firmware for my hdr-fox t2 - my sincere thanks to all who have contributed to the project. I have one question which I see has been mentioned earlier in this thread but I cannot find a fix, if there is one. Downloading a recording to the PC using Opt+ / Download only works if the recording is decrypted in place first. This is using IE8. If I try to download an encrypted file, whether SD or HD it just hangs at 0% completed / 'getting file information'. I have 'Content Share' set to on and auto-unprotect loaded. I know it's an IE8 problem but I just wondered if anyone has found a fix.
 
You are correct that auto-unprotect should make HiDef content decrypt in the process of downloading (StDef will decrypt without it), but I am not sure why the download hangs for a file that has to be decrypted on the fly but not for a pre-decrypted file. There ought to be no difference. A file will not download until it has been indexed - you do have the DLNA icon listed with the file name?

However, I have had this trouble with IE8 and when I want to download I use the wget command line utility. You will need the DLNA URL, available from the information panel that pops up when you click the file name in the WebIF media browser.
 
Thanks Black Hole - I'll try wget (or another browser). I can decrypt in place of course, but that puts a copy of the recording (decrypted) on the Humax hard drive (for good safety reasons). I just wanted to bypass this but with IE8 nothing is straightforward.

The recording will be de-drypted at the same time as download IF content sharing is turned on in the Humax menus AND the file has been allocated a DLNA name e.g. 1234.ts see the Table in the Encryption page on the WiKi HERE

A copy? I'm not sure about single decryptions, but routine decryption by setting Autodecrypt in the WebIF or using the unencrypt package decrypts and then removes the original. I have all my recordings set to decrypt as a matter of course.
