Am I correct in believing that this is down to my equipment?
Quote:
Processor speed is 2.6ghz 2gig ram.
The HDR is connected to my o2 router by ethernet cable and then transmitted by WIFI to the PC (30ft). |

I think I have cracked it now. The problems are the HD files, they are the only one to have a buffer problem.
Many thanks for your help |

Sorry to be a pain, but may I ask one more question on this subject?
I have tried to transfer a short clip to the HDR using FTP Filezilla. I transferred one .m2ts file plus its accompanying HTM and NTS files. The files appeared to transfer ok and show in the directory "video" on the HDR when viewed from Filezilla. However, the clip does not show up on the media list on the HDR. Should I be able to do this, if so, am I doing it incorrectly. Thanks |

What you need is Ray-dons latest version of AV2HDR v1.5
the problem with the old version is that the .HMT file contains the location of the three files and this only allows transfering between the humax hard drive and a connected usb devise without the file path becoming corrupt. The new version automatically creates the new file location within the .HMT file which then enables the Humax to see and play the newly uploaded video http://www.avforums.com/forums/frees...-transfer.html a great bit of software.. |

Thanks for the sound advice, but there is still a problem:
I downloaded the AV2HD 1.5. I selected the clip for transfer and imported it. AV2HD said the HDR output folder was Media/sda. It all seemed to work well and the program announced that the project was complete. The clip doesn't show in "media" on the HDR, but when I checked in the "My networks places > video on Foxsat HDR network services". The file is present. I must still be doing something wrong, but what? |

It's working fine now.
Thanks for the lesson ray-don, on that great software program. Thanks too, to GaseousClay, Repassac and Swedish cook. I couldn't have done it without you. |

Well this just won't work for me - I have spent all morning using 5 different USB sticks to copy the upgrade file on to the Foxsat but it just won't do it. Any suggestions please

Have any of the sticks you've used, previously updated official humax firmware? Some usb chipsets aren't compatable with the HDR. |

Thank you for your reply. If you mean have I opened the rar file yes - I have copied the file FOXSAT-HDR_upgrade.hdf to the USB sticks as in the instructions. I have used some of these before to move files to and from the Foxsat so it has read them in the past, so why not now? It is so frustrating when you can't even get past go!

I've got about 5 small capacity USB sticks (all < 1 Gb) that have been given to me as freebies by various companies, these seem to work without fail - occurs to be that people having problems should go buy/try the cheapest USB stick that they can get their hands on.

Unfortunately although the foxsat will transfer recordings quite happily to any old usb, there appears to be a limitation as to the foxsat reading the upgrade files from some usb devices. I guess you will have to try another stick, maybe a card in a card reader or possibly a portable hdd.

I am sorry if I state the obvious but you did put it in the root of the USB Stick? I also believe that the stick has to be formatted as FAT32. (This is standard formatting when you buy the stick.)

Yes put in root and it is formatted as FAT32 and I can ping the box over the network. I just can't get the box to read the upgrade file on the USB. So frustrating
I spent 20 minutes and went through 3 USB sticks before I realised that the instructions didn't mean the standby button on the remote!

Just had a thought - I wonder if it's due to the allocation size - you could try reformatting the smallest stick you have to FAT32 with an allocation size of 2048 and if that does not work 4096.
I seem to remember Humax saying try a small stick: "We recommend using memory sticks of under 1Gb in size" This may be because the default allocation size varies with stick capacity see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140365 |

I don't want this to sound patronising, but are you pressing the standby button on the main machine to get the Humax to upgrade?

Subtitles
Everything installed and working fine for me, except that everything I watch via XMBC has the subtitles showing. Is there an easy way to run them off?
Awesome development, by the way. |
