This is an official announcement!
MrQuade is a genius. You have solved the problem I believe.
Somewhere in the darkest recesses of my mind is a distant memory of having tackled this issue before, so I should perhaps of cottoned on. But I didn't, while MrQuade did. Thank you.

hugson

MrQuade, your suggestion about remote codes sounds as it it might be the answer. Please can you advise me what each of these values, that the T2 offers me, might be my best chance of having the T2 reject the V2 codes: - Beyonwiz T3 (0xABCD) - Beyonwiz (0x02F2) - Beyonwiz (0x02F3) - Beyonwiz (0x02F4)...

And still more!
Once my timer and recording exist on the V2, a different timer and associated recording exist on the T2.
Deleting the timer from the V2 also deletes the corresponding timer from the T2. And deleting the recording from the V2 also deletes the associated recording from the T2.

More entertainment! Today is 29-07-2923. My T2 is currently positioned in the EPG on 7Flix Sydney. It has 8 timers listed, all created by autotimer. The first timer is for a program due to start on 02-07-2023 at 19:15 and finish at 21:00 on 7flix (not Sydney channel). I put the T2 in standby. I swit...

Today's entertainment! My T2 has only 2 programs in its autotimer list, both on Central Coast channels. Today a new timer has automagically appeared, for Homeland on 9Go! Sydney, starting at 20:45 and ending at 04:55: - Homeland actually starts at 23:42 and ends at 00:50 - I have never wanted to rec...

When that setting is on, what are its effects?

hugson

I just followed MrQuade's advice. But I would agree with your supposition!

hugson

That's exactly what I'm saying. I messaged you privately about this. Yes, you're quite right is stating it was the V2 timer that was replicated, and not the recording itself. Interestingly I'm not even certain that is exactly what happens. In my many different tests, some of the unwanted T2 recordin...

hugson

The problem was caused entirely by the name I wanted to use, which was T2!

hugson

Unfortunately I spoke too soon! With my V2's mount of my T2's movie folder "Use as HDD" setting ON, a recording last night on my V2 was replicated on my T2, thereby causing 2 autotimer recordings on my T2 to fail because I have only 2 tuners on the T2. Thus: autotimer recordings on the V2 ...

hugson

Thank you for providing the solution to the problem I reported. The duplicate recording did not occur if the T2 mount was deleted from the V2. When the mount is not present, there would be no way for the v2 to record on the T2... Given the existence of the setting "setup/tv/recording settings/r...

hugson

I have a V2 and a T2, both on the latest (final?) software. I would like to be able to watch T2 recordings on the V2 because of the superior picture on the V2. I created a network mount on the V2, as follows: Autofs, cifs, T2 IP address, share: movie, Smb: default, username and password both blank W...

hugson

I have the same delays with my Archer D9 accessing the T2 and the V2. By the time I've realised how slow the V2 access is, it has loaded! :P Definitely not normal behaviour. Accessing the T2/V2 SMB shares should be near instantaneous. Does your desktop PC take a long time too? Some investigation is...

Any ideas please? The most likely problem is that the Router doesn't support SMB v2.0 or higher. The current Beyonwiz firmware will try to establish a secure SMB connection be default and needs to be told to dial back to SMB v1 if required. If you are running the latest beta firmware (which I stron...

hugson

- I have an older T2 and a much newer V2. Both have the same problem with one specific Samba share I am trying to set up, in that this share simply doesn't work. - The relevant hardware is my Windows PC, my Beyonwiz boxes and my Archer C9 router, to which is connected a USB3 drive. The router suppor...

hugson

Setup/Network/Mount manager/Mountpoints management/ENTER Local share name is what I'm referring to. Naming this any value I like works on the T2 with non-alphanumeric characters (it takes 2 steps as described in my original post), but not on the V2. In case this is still unclear, I can still name th...

hugson

Normal standby is in use - which has always been successful on my T2. I do not believe that the name chosen by me to display a specific link has any implications on the software's ability to make and maintain that link. As far as I know, the name I choose to display is not (or should not be) used an...

I have just bought a V2 and am experiencing many problems with it. I am using the latest Beta release of the software. I am using my old T2 wifi dongle (sold to me by Beyonwiz with a description of WiFi USB Antenna (Wireless N 300Mbps) T2 - T3 - T4 Am I making a mistake in using this instead of the ...

hugson

How will you actually purchase a v2? I have been trying to contact Beyonwiz for 3 weeks now, but without any success. On their website, you can just add what you want/need to your cart and pay for it. But if something is faulty, then what? If one cannot even receive a reply to a few questions, it d...

I'm not sure whether the same applies to 16.1 versions, but if there is a bug in long-TV in EPGs in the 16.1 firmware versions, it certainly won't get fixed in that firmware series. 16.1 firmware is ancient. The most recent 16.1 USB update was 16.1.20170422, more than 2 1/2 years ago. There probabl...

What do you see with this OWIF search?

Now that my T2 is switched on (I had turned it off in order to reflash v19.3!), I've attached a text file of what your URL returned.

Previously, I posted sample AutoTimer definitions and the resultant generated timers and OWIF screenshots , in the AutoTmer FAQ. AFAIK, raymondjpg still uses this technique as he posted about it this year. I wonder whether this example is a bit different to mine. Your example is about the same prog...

hugson

I'm not sure how to so that, but I think that it can be done. Grumpy_Geoff or one of the other AutoTimer expert users may need to step in here. Otherwise for older firmware, create two AutoTimer definitions for the desired program - for one of them, don't enable 'Custom offset' so it will get your ...

I knew GG world find a reference somehow ;) Just reading that thread and the fact that the event description appeared on the first instance of opening the EPG and not on subsequent ones screams to me that the 16.1 behaviour was actually a bug and not actually intended behaviour. Which isn't to say ...

hugson

This is the same "issue" you had eighteen months ago, right? 'EPG layout (T2) in latest software rekease' Very well spotted! Only last night I discovered that, in v16, a long press of TV toggled this summary text in the EPG. SInce I'd like to have 20 channels in my EPG without having to s...

You weren't using a different skin by any chance?

I'm pretty sure not.

hugson

In v16 it was possible to have the EPG fill the entire screen. A long press on the TV button produced a 2-panel display, where the subject of the currently selected program in the EPG displayed in the bottom panel was described in some detail in the top panel. In versions 17 and, now, 19 the optiona...

For Channels 7 and 9 I can access either Sydney or Central Coast services. Sometimes one service works well while the other may be pixellated, and vice versa. I'd therefore like to have autotimers for programs from channels 7 or 9 record from both services (i.e. Sydney AND Central Coast). Unforunate...

In smb.conf. I have forgotten what it was set to in earlier firmware versions (20 maybe?).

34 apparently is the gold medal winner! Thanks.

hugson

The master browser priority was set higher in the earlier versions of firmware. It is possible that your Wiz was always acting as the master browser before. Then this suggestion certainly may offer the solution. It seems an odd thing to change without thinking through any ramifications it may have....

hugson

At the base of the problem here is possibly a Master Browser issue. It is the fact that resources come and go in the network that creates the master Browser problems. Interesting idea. Of course, the question arises as to why this has never occurred with the previous firmware. However, I have now f...

To be clear to me, in this screen and directory as below, you only saw the entry of two dots?

That's right.

hugson

Also, when in that situation (if you do get to that in the future), see if the shares are listed in 'Mountpoints management' (Mount Viewer screen), and their active/inactive status. Ah, I already know this. The shares were still listed in Mountpoints Management as active. There was nothing there to...

It would have been nice to know what your smb.conf looked like after that power cycle. I wonder if it had changed from the default 31 lines again.

The smb.conf file was unchanged, still containing the same 31 lines.

hugson

Well, I've reloaded the latest firmware following your instructions to the letter. For a short time everything was working. The smb.conf file contained 31 lines. Then all my shares disappeared from /media/autofs (Mount manager continued to show them). I realized the light on my Beyonwiz supplied wif...

hugson

At one point, I had a problem with smb.conf not being the right version and thereby stuffing up networking on 17.5.

Thank you for taking the time to post your excellent response. Here's the $64 question: how do you know whether your smb.conf is the right version?

hugson

Absolutely! I wrote 'renaming'. What did you read/understand?

Well, I've never rebooted before and/or after renaming, and I can't see that I've suffered any penalties for that "failure"!
What would you expect to happen if your recommended reboots are not performed?

hugson

Where was it stated that you had to reboot before using the shares? When you've setup your shares, reboot before any attempt at renaming the shares. Reboot again after renaming. Then compare the contents of files /etc/auto.network and /etc/enigma2/automounts.xml to ensure they match. The above quot...

In the last 3-4 weeks Channel 7Two has started excluding "Inspector Frost" from the title of Frost episodes on Wednesday nights at around 8:30. I get around this by creating a weekly recording for the time slot, but it's not a perfect solution. Is there any way to create an Autotimer for a...

hugson

Yes, you're quite right about it being much easier to create the mounts via the Network Browser - I missed that. But that's all it is:easier. The shares I have created so assiduously by hand are exactly the same as those I've managed to create via Network Manager. And I do question the advice about ...

hugson

What everyone has been advising you is that when you reinstall the firmware from a USB based image and you DON'T recover any settings or backups then you will have a clean installation image. Deviating from the instruction being offered to you will cause unpredictable results. And from which of my ...

hugson

The instruction on the screen says to press OK to activate - have you tried that instead? Of course I have. You know, I really would appreciate not being treated like an idiot. I have over 30 years' experience as a software and database developer, I do know how to follow instructions, and I never a...

hugson

The exit on the 2nd line is done simply to exit the Add Mount dialogue; i do it because the software is apparently unable to do this for itself.

hugson

The smb.conf file I enquired about is not overwritten on my T2! Here is what I did: - added 4 lines to the roughly 14 lines already in this file (as per a previous post in these forums) - loaded a different firmware - the smb.conf file still contains the 4 lines I added, preceded by what I believe t...
