Here is a story from my end. I don't expect that you are in the same boat, but here it goes...

.....However, if that V2 was my last remaining Beyonwiz, I'd probably still give repair a shot.

OOI, do you think a failed HDMI output is repairable?

Hi, I have no interest in IceTV, free or not. Pretty much useless when travelling, Not sure I can see the logic to that. IceTV can be used amywhere, it would just need attention to set up the account for whichever location you're in. However if not interested in IceTV interactive then I agree little...

Hi, Just noticed this on the Icebox page: To function the IceBox needs an IceTV subscription. I thought I read that FTA guide is available. Thanks, dRdoS7 You get fee IceTV access for 3 months (IceTV IceBox) or 1 month (BYOB). So you can try it and decide if it is worth the nominal subscription pric...

Hi, I think I'll buy an Icebox for me and see how it performs. Then see if my wife can adapt to it. If I can use a USB IR and the existing Harmony remote it should make it a bit easier. Hopefully the U4 (wife) & V2 (mine > caravan) will keep running for a while longer (probably shouldn't have wr...

Hi, The caravan's V2 recently stopped working. Not a glimmer. When we returned home, I tried a 240>12V PS, still no light. Pulled the cover off to check if it was the 12V socket that was faulty, or maybe the switch. Probed the back of the socket with a multimeter and suddenly the V2 booted. Great I ...

Hi, I have a never used Harmony 650,does anybody know if this can be programmed to control the V2. Currently using one with my V2 atm and it works great :D We have about 6, 2 in regular use & 1 in our caravan. Bought 2 new ones as spares when I read that Logitech were no longer selling them. I r...

Hi, I used to be able to see all of my V2 recordings but many things around house & router have chaned and I haven't been able to get it up and running again. I go to my V2 info data page and note my network number 192.1. ect. I then go and try to enter the same number into my Samsung tablet an...

dRdoS7

Hi, If you do a search for "V2 CEC" in the forum, you will find a number of threads with the same issue you are experiencing. I don't think CEC is all that functional on the V2. Even on the T series it took a backwind and your tongue in the right spot for it to work properly. The V2 uses a...

Hi, I wasn't able to reproduce it with the supplied srt, albeit modified to occur at 1m rather than 8. That was with a ts renamed to mpg/mkv, then remuxed to mkv, on my V2 & T2 (with a custom binary, but subtitles should be the same) and the test V2 (stock). The first two subtitles showed fine, ...

dRdoS7

Hi, When you say 'crash', are you talking hard reboot, or gui reboot? I will occasionally get gui reboots on some anime files with dodgy subtitles. The price we 'pay' for sailing the high seas. :D I thought it was a Hard Reboot. Black screen, lots of text. Pointy spinner (IIRC). Crash log: Enigma2_c...

dRdoS7

Hi, I was going to create a post for a similar experience I've just had. Thought I should check, and found this thread. My problem was with an mp4 and an external subtitle, though at first I didn't realise it was the subtitle causing the problem. Spoiler. When I got to a certain point in the video, ...

Hi, I installed the feed ipk, and received this message: Removed and installed myself and got the same thing. After switching off the beyonwiz feeds it worked okay.

Hi, You need to make the export read/write. Try: /media/hdd *(rw,sync) Try (rw,sync,no_root_squash) I was only able to reboot my V2 (some recordings currently running on my wife's). I was able to copy a recording on her V2 to my V2. I'll reboot the other V2 when available, and try copying from mine ...

dRdoS7

Hi, That was it (1st quote). Wow, completely missed it! You need to make the export read/write. Try: /media/hdd *(rw,sync) Edited both exports, rebooted the V2s, and some progress (of sorts): [Errno13]: Permission denied: 'directory/file name' That was trying to copy a file (File Commander) from one...

dRdoS7

Hi, I was talking about the "/etc/exports" file. This is the one that defines the NFS share. That was it (1st quote). Got the original text from here: https://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=14533&p=191521#p191486 :D I quoted the automounts in case it might help. dRd...

dRdoS7

Hi, What does the "exports" file on each V2 contain? The filesystem needs to be exported as "rw". /media/hdd * From automounts.xml: <autofs> <nfs> <mount> <active>True</active> <hdd_replacement>False</hdd_replacement> <ip>192.168.1.174</ip> <sharename>CAROLSV2_hdd</sharename> <sh...

Hi, We have 2 V2s, both have a share to other with an NFS mount. Works fine for watching recordings. Haven't been able to get CIF mounts to work (there's a long post somewhere). When either of us tries to delete a file on the other's V2, via Media screen, it appears to delete at first, but a refresh...

No more thoughts anyone?

Sorry, I was asleep.

I did think I'd like to buy the new Everest, when it's released.

I've put the new picon setup for the NSW South Coast into the picon repository, and it should be available in the next firmware update. Thuis update is from dRdoS7's recently posted Bermagui scan data.

Thuis is where we are now.

Hi, We may end up being permanent NSW residents! When you do, I'll be happy to use any scan data you post, if I don't already have someone who covers that region. I took it to be in jest; a reference to COVID-19 hard-borders. He may have said that in jest too. Getting hemmed in here. Narooma has som...

Hi, I'm running an old version of FW 19.3, so the icons are out of date (9 is 10 / 10 is 9). Not going to update to check! You can use prl's "get_picons.sh" script to fetch them from the beta feed, then install the package - https://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=9355&a...

dRdoS7

Hi, Do you need Bermagui? We're here for a week, so I'll post it if wanted/needed. Possibly, Narooma next, if they come out of lockdown. Maybe Eden, or Bombala, if they don't. I'm running an old version of FW 19.3, so the icons are out of date (9 is 10 / 10 is 9). Not going to update to check! dRdoS7

Hi, I could be wrong but i don't think the V2 is able to display on the front of the unit what channel it's on? The reason i would like to have it displayed is some times i want to turn the V2 to a certain channel because i remember i have forgotten to set the timer for a show. But i might not want ...

I'd probably be better off buying a new V2 and storing it in the closet in case my V2 died I guess.

Make sure you set it up, and give it a good test, just in case. Our first V2 was faulty (SD card reader), and the first U4 failed (HDMI Output) on it's first trip away in our caravan.

Hi, I had problems with Beyonwiz twin tuner add on drives C and D and purchased a new one about two months ago and that is now faulty. I have sent sales an email but so far no response. However is there an alternative add on duel or more tuners that I can buy NEW in Australia. I recall earlier there...

dRdoS7

Hi, A while since I did this, so hopefully it's OK. Hastings Point Caravan Park has FTA via cable. There are some Foxtel channels, and a few extras from security cameras. FTA channels are same as the transmitter at Mt Nardi. I did do a scan with my antenna, but many channels have patchy signal. Hast...

dRdoS7

Hi, It seems that there has been a F/W update for my V2. I assume that there was some place for me to register so that I'd be notified about this but that I failed to register for it. If so how is this done? I don't see any mention of what changes are in this update, is this something else I missed....

Hi, I installed 20200823FW on my V2 from USB. Didn't restore settings from 20201121FW.

Hi, LAN is working fine, no internet. All the evidence points at some configuration issue in the router or another piece of networking hardware in your infrastructure. You haven't accidentally blacklisted the MAC or IP address of one of your machines? No. Or perhaps use a whitelist and mistyped the ...

I can leave it as is (i.e. working.), or can update to latest FW (backup settings first!!), see what happens. Online update is going to be...

Hi, There's no "gateway" value (192.168.1.240) shown. Go back to ethernet, try turning off DHCP and giving it the reserved address that the router has for it (whichever of the .171. or .174). That's the Gateway, been using that for many years. It's the router connected to the modem. It's t...

Hi, Out of interest, I grabbed the USB WiFi from the caravan, tried that: WiFi.jpg So, that's not connecting to the internet either. There's no "gateway" value (192.168.1.240) shown. Go back to ethernet, try turning off DHCP and giving it the reserved address that the router has for it (w...

dRdoS7

HI, I'd prefer to worry about internet later. It's really not that important. I'm sure lots of users have no LAN to their PVRs. We don't always have internet in the caravan. Lots of work has been done on the BWs to prevent outsiders hacking them, what better than no internet? It's not the actual int...

dRdoS7

Hi, Out of interest, I grabbed the USB WiFi from the caravan, tried that: WiFi.jpg So, that's not connecting to the internet either. It's probably a DNS issue. Open a command line on the V2 and ping a known internet address by name, then by its IP. /etc/opkg$ ping pvoutput.org ping: sendto: Network ...

Hi, Interesting development: since re-installing from USB, I can't get NFS server to install. It asks if I'd like to install the package, and reboot. I answer "yes", and it (I assume) installs, and reboots. Still no NFS. I go back to the NFS line in Network, and I am again asked if I'd lik...

Hi, I now have an NFS mount working on my V2. I can mount it on that V2, and create a sym link to a folder. :) I'll have to change the mount back one folder to : /media/hdd * so I'll be able to mount the whole movie folder, and see all the files there too. Otherwise I can only share folders from the...

dRdoS7

Hi, I may try the NFS servers on the V2s. Anybody has success with them? The NFS server works on the V2, but as of my last testing, none of the T or U series. NFS client connections work from all of them though. You just need to enable the server which will install the required software packages, th...

Hi, I changed them both back to AUTOFS. Result was no visible files. Changed back to FSTAB. File visible. Have them disabled ATM. I played a dashcam video from the 2nd V2 on my V2 last night (no recording yet as it's not connected to an antenna). The rotating balls (OverlayHD skin) would appear, the...

dRdoS7

Hi, Try using FSTAB instead of AUTOFS for one of the mounts in Mountpoint management and see how you go with that. Nice one, that worked OK on mine. I could see my own files. Waiting, waiting, waiting.... And, just did the 2nd V2, and worked on that. I two sets of shares, the first empty, the second...

dRdoS7

Hi, The screenshot of the File Commander screen doesn't show anything useful. To see mounts, you need to view the contents of <List of Storage Devices>, by pressing OK when the screen focus is on it. It was to show they are empty. They both appear OK in the list of mounts. Any ideas as to why the mo...
