Created a New Thread as information in the old thread is now out of date.


1) NEW Update Enable FTP & Telnet (on foxsat) -->http://bit.ly/hLoDTg

Extract file and drop Drop this onto a usb stick - then insert into USB slot on humax - Put into Standby - HOLD standby button & it should update your humax box.

2) NEW version of Twonky ---> http://bit.ly/gQgFDl (Needed for Auto boot) (Some Versions won't auto boot this one will)

ftp up to your humax, filezilla is a great ftp program, extract the new twonky into " /mnt/hd4/opt/TwonkyVision " (Ensure you create the directory with capital T and V).

Ftp USER = humaxftp FTP Pass = 0000

3) 2 Scripts to Autostart Twonky --> http://bit.ly/fVPCJe

drop these into " /mnt/hd4/opt/etc/init.d "

Telnet to your humax and ensure you change the file permissions in twonky.

Your now ready to setup Twonky - use your web browser to do this - http://IPADDRESSOFHUMAX:9000/config

----------------------------

Once done install your favourite upnp media player - I use XBMC get it from http://xbmc.org (This runs on my pc, so I can watch any video from my humax)

You should now be able to view what's recorded onto any upnp device.

All the apps I am currently running do not support TS files.

Cheers,

Rob

Had to Jailbreak and install XBMC -- install info --> http://bit.ly/f2lb9w

It streams tv programs without any juddering, perfect clear video and audio, virtually identical to pc version - there is " Air Player " i'll try that now and see how that goes, from what I read it was pretty crap.

* update *

actually just tried " Air Player, seems to play the video really good but audio seems out of sync " having a play with the settings.

Just installed " Buzz Player " works perfect Audio & Video !

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/buzz-...389744550?mt=8

So, what's new about it? What's changed compared with the previous one?

a new folder is created

opt

all the apps (twonky) can now be moved into " OPT " folder

and a auto start script is setup, for apps to start from standby.

Everything is moved from your music folder too, (setup etc) thats returned back to normal.

wow Buzz Player is really good - allows you to download the entire recording onto the ipad - handy if your out on the road, and watch back later - you can now easily fast forward through the video really fast (If your streaming it from your humax)

Forgive my ignorance but do I have to change anything in the scripts to get them to work as I have tried rebooting and find that XBMC cannot log in to hdr.

Thanks

Did you telnet to your box and change permissions on your twonky dir.

to test your Twonky is in correct dir etc, download and run this

http://www.4shared.com/file/v_3cOU3I/StartTwonkyUP.html


click " StartTwonkyHDR "

then see if it brings up twonky in a webpage

http://humaxip:9000/config

if twonky won't start - you need to telnet and change permissions in twonky

Excellent! Thank you, if have purchased 3 other video apps and non of them worked properly, so this excellent!

I don't suppose you know if this app is available on the apple tv as I ordered one yesterday for streaming from my hdr.

Just ipad and Iphone support at moment.

I'm buying a appletv next week, looking to jailbreak and install XBMC onto it - all reports are saying audio and video are perfect on playback - so far its the only working app on appletv to play back humax videos.

I have tried this and it works so set up ok. If I put the foxsat into standby then switch on again XBMC cannot log in but starttwonky can. Do I need to do anything with permissions on the scripts for them to work and autostart twonky?

Thanks for you patience.

filmman

its one of 2 things now.

start twonky again with the script

login into twonky via webpage

down the left look for network in advanced setup " Tick " nicrestart: save changes and re-start twonky

then see if that's fixed it.

if that fails

re-upload the 2 autoscripts but make sure in filezilla they go up in binary - apparently there is a issue doing a transfer in Ascii

try this also

telnet to here

/opt/etc/init.d

./S90twonkymedia start << did that start twonky ?

./S90twonkymedia stop << did that kill twonky ?

Tried this and got permission denied so threw caution to the wind and set permissions on the init.d file and all is working fine now.

Thanks for your help and bringing this to our attention in the first place.

filmman

The setup page crashes IE 9 beta - but compatability mode is fine (just in case anyone else is running it).
After setup I needed to restart TonkyServer (from the setup page).
All working fine now - Thanks to all.

I've managed to get twonky up and running. Some questions about the FTP though, can I FTP movies straight to my PC? (The movie files seem small). Also I have a Humax freesat+ and a normal freesat box. Is it possible to stream from the freesat+ to the freesat?

If size is small probably wrong files, the ".ts" file is the video and the only one needed to play on a pc, generally several gb for a film. You can transfer yes but remember HD recordings are encrypted and will not play.

Since November last year BBC1-HD recordings are not encrypted - no idea why

Can someone tell me what the CPU is on the HDR please?

It's an ARM variant running at about 300MHz.

in the telnet session for more information

Many thanks

Don't know what I'm doing wrong but via FTP I go into HD3 then Movies and all I get are .tac files when I look inside the folder of the movie I want to watch.

do a screen shot m8 upload to www.tinypic.net

.ts should be the movies / programs
