Awesome.

Something to also be aware of: if instead of connecting T4 > Amp > TV you use T4 > TV > (ARC via Toslink) AMP because I have an old non-HDMI amp you have to check what your TV is capable of decoding/passingthru. My TV can't do DTS so I can't passthrough DTS even though the amp can decode it. I just ...

I used to have this spinny thingy a fair bit on a T3, sometimes on a T4. Usually had less plugins that the stock software (removed some after upgrade). I've got both machines on latest front panel latest firmware and latest boot loaders and rarely have this problem now. From what I can narrow my sym...

Hi Fosss I set up all the tennis for mum recently, basically I was aiming to at least capture all full matches and if possible drop any highlights programs. Not being a tennis fan, I had a bit of a Google and found this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_broadcasting_contracts_in_Australia It g...

Hey fosss, Autotimer fan here: autotimers get simpler and quicker in GUI once you setup your autotimer defaults to suit your regular preferred settings. Then every new autotimer uses those preferred settings by default and you don't need to fiddle with each setting every time you add a new autotimer...

IF the remote is doing anything at all, try skipping the HDD format bit and going on with the rest of setup. Then come back to the HDD format manually via the setup menu later. IF the remote IS working and you can pass the format HDD bit but it still wont format via the setup menu then its likely a ...

Same here, like Tezza said. Double presses are causing skipping, just press shorter presses, problem gone. Backlight is staying on after use. It's not sticking buttons because pressing ANY button once turns off the backlight. T3 remote is better by a mile I can use it in the dark but T4 remote the b...

Hi Peter, I've updated a T4 this morning (online/current latest version) and have attached the services/picons file for a Wangaratta (VIC) based scan (parents T4), which picks up Albury (NSW) services by the looks of it. There's only SBS and ABC picons for this area at present so I'll leave it with ...

This mornings online update for T4 has fixed all icons just fine for the Newcastle broadcast area, even the channels I don't use (non favs). Thanks for the effort. I also noticed the 'green up arrow' flashing in the info bar next to the hbbtv icon which I assume is an OS update alert, hadn't spotted...

I always use graphical EPG and have not seen this issue at all. ... Likewise (I reported one similar problem earlier in the topic, but I'm no longer convinced that it wasn't a remote control line-of-sight problem).

Left/right arrows not working in Media list. Up/down not working in the usual suspects. Time for another reboot I had left/right not work in media list on T4 on last firmware once. Rebooted and it went away. On current official firmware as of last week I haven't seen it at all. Edit: spoke too soon...

T2, T3 and T4s all use specific firmware not the same firmware file - that matches each model.

Try re downloading the appropriate one again and reflash it maybe?

WEB Remote TIP: The web GUI is slow using the defaults but if you click 'take GUI screenshot' then change it from 30sec to 2 or 3 seconds it is easier to skip through key presses easily much faster (particularly if home on the LAN). I only heard about racing.com recently and when I looked in my defa...

Reading between the lines I think simoncasey may have been asking about IPs in regard to are you using your home LAN IP address (192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x) or have you utilised your dynamic DNS/WAN IP address in the app? I get around this using tellymote app which has settings for local LAN IP beside th...

I don't have a T2 rather T3/T4 but if you either: Connect via your phone/web browser you'll either see a web interface (standby) or no web interface (deep standby/off). Scan your network from your phone you'll see no response from the T2's IP address and it will appear offline if it's in deep standb...

I've got everything timer recording into subdirs but occasionally use instant recordings when browsing the epg to search for new stuff to record (amongst the sea of red highlighted auto timer recordings).

Got the mrs trained (easy with motivation of lots of movies to watch if she gets it). She's doing better than the oldies, with a three button/one remote limit. There's always faster / quicker ways.

ghines To get you back to the home directory you can program one of the coloured buttons using the setting menu when in the movie list. I use long press yellow as home as it ties in with the short press yellow for Location. Nice tip. So MEDIA button, MENU button, SETTINGS, Set 'Button Yellow Long' ...

... My wife has indicated the font in the epg is a bit small. I wonder if I can use this to buy a bigger TV. You may want to keep this quiet ;), but both the number of rows shown and the font size are configurable in the Graphical EPG. If you get rid of the Picture in Graphics, you have even more r...

Also if you have a NAS of the right model/firmware then some of them allow auto convert of video files in the background in certain folders (qnaps) or some do hardware transcoding (synology)

Hi, I went "beta" today. The Subtitle switch is terrific. The toggle isn't "Global", but I'm not sure it will matter seeing it only requires one key press now. Would it be possible to speed up the removal of the message? I find 4 seconds a bit too long. Maybe a user config optio...

Thanks Peter that looks like the problem. I haven't worried too much about restricting time or day for now to allow a safety net as I am happy to just disable the extra timers. Some shows do get moved around, and while the ABC is better than most, restricting would miss some like The Chaser which m...

I think some improvements to epg search would be useful. My suggestions are: 1 is there a way to just do a search without having to first search the currently selected show 2 being able to search other fields 3 limiting the search to the epg as selected ie the bouqet. Currently it searches all bouq...

I recycled an old one I had spare. Just google for one they're pretty generic.

Yes I see Ice My Week is down to 5 days now. By the time I get my T4 I'll have to start from scratch. If I read correctly I can create them faster via the webpage instead of using remote. Be a good learning experience (as long as they work) :) I find open epg then find a show you want to record mov...

jazza

Correct.

Epg search doesn't seem to search description so we're forced to use auto timers to search epg items except for random items that do coincidentally have 'movie' in the description.

jazza

From T2 vs T4 angle, I went from T3 to T4 as main recording box.

With 30 auto timers setup I no longer have to worry about conflicting timers due to lack of tuners available and that means I can add 20-30 minutes padding at each end of the recording as a side benefit too (if I have too).

Go the T4.

I have it set to 'All non-repeating timers', what's the best option here? With no IceTV I like the idea of Auto Timers but the repeats (as in the show repeats not the timer) are bugging me. I have started to muck around with filters, missed them completely when I first set the auto timers but keen ...

Try SBSMovie too. Tried SBSMovie #SBSMovie Although there is one there "casino". Didn't find it Bollocks. I use 'SBSMovie' to capture dozens each week. Same using 'Movie:'. You just have to try a little and differentiate between title search or description search as appropriate. It's not ...

prl, I agree with most of what you wrote but I chose a couple of different settings as my defaults - your thoughts?

My 2.5" HDD in the T4 is mounted on the side farthest away from the power supply, towards the centre of the box (off centre in the hdd bay).

Cable length is fine either side or centred.

I just ran my cabling underneath the mount & hdd out of the way.

jazza

Autofs works best IMHO. I can restart either T3 or T4 or NAS and the autofs mounts just reconnect seemlessly. I'm actually impressed how well autofs mounts to shares on a sleeping power save mode NAS will quickly check the autofs mount, reconnect it required and record a program without skipping a b...

Geez.... Anyone with a fancy programmed multiple-device universal remote and/or piles of interconnected audio visual gear can figure out a few simple auto timers for sure. Toughen up, people!!

... Edit: duplicates and repeats are two different things, usually. I'm not sure what you mean by this.

One side effect of trying out autotimers is that I've given my autotimers a custom location. When you do this, it automatically creates a folder bookmark to that location. When you go to recordings in WizOs you can see the bookmarks in the recordings page. So if you create bookmarks to your sub dir...
