Hi all,
Just needing some verification regarding writing files back to my 9200T using HumaxRw.
After a power cut last week, I booted up the Hummy, only to find all my recordings gone, & weirdly, the clock/standby problem.
http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1274989 Thank you to Big Les for an awesome fix, by the way.
I assumed the recording list was corrupted, so hooked it up to the PC & I'm pretty sure the humaxrw 2: -r -l function mentioned recording list as empty.
Checked in HumaxRW recovery mode & there were my listed 320 recordings. I managed to copy them all to the PC using the cmd line humaxrw 2: -r -g, & created new .hre files using the ts2hrw *.ts function in HumaxRW.
(Interestingly, two .ts files came out as 0KB, but I didn't attempt to write those back to the Hummy - They both played fine before the power cut though, as they were very recent recordings I'd watched).
Two in the list were also shown as ***buffer***, about 300kb each in size.
While I was at it, I ran the seagate tools test on the drive (Seagate Barracuda 400g), & came back fine.
I attached the drive back in the Humax & Reformatted, & then attached it again to the PC & proceeded to copy over the recovered files backed up on the PC.
Admittedly, I saw this after I'd re-formatted, so I didn't make
any recordings on the disc BEFORE I copied over the recovered files.
So now when I boot up the Humax, I have 315 recordings,
but all are shown as recover_001,recover_002,recover_003, etc, all the way down to the 300s.
Is this normal? Or is there a way to recover the file names
so when it's written back it'll have the file names too?
I noticed swapping over the record list function (humaxrw 2: -r -s), but as is stated later recordings may be inaccessible, I decided against it.
I did try renaming the .ts file, .epg..hre & the other one (.elu?), & although it renamed fine in the PC, it duplicated the file transfer in the humax, so I had two recordings of the same file,both with recover_001 name.
So, it's a case of tediously renaming the files on the Humax itself? That's going to take a lot of time!
Followed some excellent advice from these forums how to manage it, which is a godsend, but I didn't see any mention of renaming files BEFORE copying back to the Humax.
I am just glad to have my files back, so It isn't a whinge, but it's more for future reference, especially if I may have done it wrong.
regards,
Lee
