The precedence was already established regarding location. I didn't move the goalposts so you should address that question to mogie.
As I stated earlier, I still prefer the original location for the custom apps because it uses an area few people ever use. i.e. Music and Photos. Any update I do will continue to use that area.
I use some music files, if I use too many is there a danger they will overwrite your software??

Absolutely no danger whatsoever. Custom software resides in a folder alongside the Music and Photo folders. Add as much music as you like up to the limit of the partition.

Ray-don, I've used your AV2HDR a few times now, great bit of software!!

In there any chance you can tell me how you implement your progress bars in AV2HDR, are they custom coded or a module I could use, I'm looking to implement these into a VBA application in Excel, and the one's I've found are dull compared to yours??

Buy the way, I was transferring a file to the HDR last night, 3.9G in size, when the programme got to approx. 3.7G it stopped and then proceeded very slowly, and kept thowing up not responding messages, would it have finished, I got bored and hit Cancel?

Thanks, Woolfynorm.

AV2HDR is written in Visual C#. The progress bar is just part of the Windows forms package provided by .NET framework.
As to processing large files with AV2HDR, I've done one that was 23GB without any problems whatsoever.

Perhaps you should disable power saving when you do this?

Transferred file fine, left it and total processing time in excess of 3 hours for 3.9G, is this as expected?

Processing time in AV2HDR should be about 4 mins, transfer time to HDR will depend on your connection speed, try selecting a non broadcasting channel (eg BBC3), dont do it with a HD channel selected.

No, I can transfer a 3.5GB file using AV2HDR in 24 minutes, with no drop-off in performance towards the end as you experienced. The FTP client in AV2HDR uses a third party DLL and it's not particularly efficient. (The same file transferred with filezilla only took 13 minutes).
I'm quite happy just to let AV2HDR's FTP chug away in the background, but if you want to hurry things up a bit then try this workaround.
Set FTP transfer mode to manual and when the files are built use AV2HDR's own FTP to send the HMT file only. Then copy over the NTS and TS files using filezilla, or whatever client you use. That might speed things up considerably.

Ray-don,
I would like to add my thanks for your excellent work on your implementation of ftp and samba on the HDR. As a result of your technical skills and sensible approach to the design, your new firmware has added significant new functionality to the box without any adverse effects
As we wait patiently (or not) for the new firmware from Humax to solve the "pause live" problem, please keep up the good work, it is appreciated. In fact I registered on this forum simply to thank-you

ray-don - I also appreciate your work as it has significantly improved my setup with no side effects. It would be a significant loss if you discontinued your project.

I also salute mogie for the original work which all these threads build on. As with all innovations, people will press forward on different fronts when they're at the bleeding edge.

Once things get debugged and shaken down, I'm sure that someone will release a stable distribution which contains all the best ideas from the bleeding edge (who knows - it maybe someone different again from ray-don or mogie). This is the one that most users will then install when they don't have to do any fiddling around.

I'll give that a go thanks.
