You'll want to run a checkdisk over it. Did you say you plugged it directly into a Windows machine? Is the disk formatted as NTFS? If so, you should probably do the checkdisk from the Windows machine. CHKDSK from my windows PC removed the files, i returned Timeshift to normal directory and was able...

Yes I did plug it into a windows machine , and I’ll follow your suggestion.

Thanks

Thanks for the ideas. I disabled timeshift. Zapped to a new channel and rebooted. When I try to delete the files afterwards, the V2 does some sort of soft crash and quickly restarts. I tried using a W10 laptop to delete the timeshift files without the V2 and it wouldn’t let me. I then set the timesh...

Are there still "old" (prior to today) pts_livebuffer_{n}* timeshift buffer files present in /media/hdd/timeshift? Assuming that's the value for setting 'Timeshift location' in Timeshift settings. yes, there are some date/time stamped today and some around when we filled the HDD. See the ...

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Long press POWER button to get to the shutdown menu option.

yes, i've done a long press shutdown, and also powered it off from the wall, after shutting down. I've done it a few times now.

Is the SD still fitted?

Sorry, i didnt actually answer that. No i dont have a SD fitted. it didnt come with one.

I checked the slot on the back anyway, and it looks empty. Is there somewhere else i should check?

I use a 1TB portable hdd for both recordings and timeshift (I think). I wondered about the location too as I’ve seen it move before when trying to leave a thumb drive connected. It seems to be right as some of the files were modified today When I check file commander. As in the photo earlier. Not al...

And timeshift seems to be working despite the error

Just realised I’m using the beta. This post is in the wrong folder. Can it be moved?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes it’s persistent, I see it whenever I change channels or startup.

Screenshots attached.

Hi
We filled our V2 hdd yesterday. After making some space I am now getting an error.

*message box contents*
Creating hard link to timeshift file failed!
The file system used for timeshift must support hardlinks

/media/hdd/timeshift/
[errno 17] File exists

Any ideas please?

Stubn

Unplugged the HDD and it worked

I forgot to note what type it was but will do that when I next go back.

Stubn

That’s a helpful reminder too. Thanks Paul.

I always use a very old Corsair 1GB stick... going back to DP Beyonwizes . I’ll take a different one back as well.
However, I did try it without my USB plugged in so it’s not main problem.

Stubn

I didn’t unplug the USB hdd. I’ll give that a try. Thanks

I won’t get back there this weekend, so I’ll be slow to advise if it worked.

Edit: and i don’t have a SD card plugged in.

Hi, I have a V2 at my mother in-law’s house. It’s using the June.2019 f/w and I went to update via USB over the weekend as I’ve done on my own V2.

My 2014 T3 died this week.
@Warkus , Thank you this guide. I replaced all caps, however C37 was my expanded and leaking cap.

All working again

Your TV does have the ability to turn off overscan, all recent TVs will. On a Samsung you need to change the picture aspect ratio until is it set to "Just Scan", or "Per-Pixel" or whatever they call it these days. Thank you! Your answer helped me find the ‘fit to screen’ setting...

Stubn

Hi Just replaced my 2007 pioneer plasma monitor with a 65 inch Samsung NU8000. My pioneer didn’t have an overscan feature that worked properly so I adjusted the OSD size in the T3. I’m surprised that my brand new tv also suffers the same sort of thing and doesn’t seem to have an overscan function at...

Hi
My wife crashed our T3 tonight. She thinks she was in the media player.

its a one off, so far... i've posted it in case its of interest

Stubn

just to close this off. i got the T2 back from my auntie and saw the strange fault for myself, when the T2 was sent to deep standby and then turned back on it was failing to mount the HDD and thus the directory wasn't there. Unplug and plug it back in and it worked again, i swapped the HDD with anot...

Stubn

Thanks for the reply.

I'll double check everything when I get back there on the weekend.

Stubn

Hi This has me a bit stumped I set up a T2 for a relative and i'm having trouble with the media player directory defaulting to '/' after a shutdown. From media -menu-settings- the root directory option is now set to the media/hdd/movie folder which is where I thought this default was setup. I can na...

Stubn

Thank you both

I'll play around with the areas mentioned.

Stubn

My wife complains there are too many folders to navigate up and down through and too many clicks to switch between the HDD inside the T3 and the HDD in a second Beyonwiz. Is there an existing better way? As a feature, I'd like to be able to press the Media button and open a 'Favourites' list to choo...

Stubn

Hi Ian Thanks for the explanation, that helps. For me, it's the only picon that I can't read from the lounge, ( As well as the size, i think it's also due to the colours the network have used ) Its a very small piece of feedback regarding a channel I don't often use. So without anyone else weighing ...

Stubn

The Picons do look great!
Just a small thing though, the 'racing.com' picon seems smaller than the rest. Could it be tweaked?

Stubn

Thx Skutr.
the FW worked for my old P1.

Anything you can do to make the T3 a little less laggy would be appreciated...

Stubn

Deep Standby is more or less a reboot. I've found with my old plasma that the sequence I turn it and the beyonwiz and the amp on, makes a difference. With the T3 in standby you could try turning the TV on first or last to test I remember being a bit frustrated with it before getting my head around w...

you may not have to reboot, I find that just cycling the T3 through standby is enough...

Let us know what you think of it after it arrives

MrQuade wrote:You can always just add the extra T2, T3 or T4 harddisks as additional video library locations in the regular Kodi media interface though. That way you can access all of the recordings like any other video library

That's how I do it and it seems to work ok

Stubn

MrQuade wrote:One thing to note is that the T4 starts from deep standby a LOT faster than T3 does. It is 30-40s or so, so a lot more convenient if you want to use deep-standby mode.

That would be a massive plus in my household !

In my case those exact same symptoms were a hardware failure, my advice is contact Beyonwiz...

Stubn

Thanks, That makes sense when considered along with my googling. I'm not sure if I'd use that feature, but who knows.

Stubn

As a bit of a n00b, what will the transcoding feature enable me to with a T4 that I can't with a T3 ?

Stubn

Thanks for the explanation.

I'd forgotten how it didn't give much feedback.

Stubn

the earlier firmwares had an option when updating to "update and auto reboot", this seems to have been dropped from the newer ones. I liked being able to press the one button "update and automatically reboot" (or whatever it was labelled) and walk away knowing it would be finishe...

Stubn

Thanks, I'll try it out.

Stubn

I read somewhere that I access iview from the T3 , but I can't work out how. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Stubn

Setting a shutdown timer from the SLEEP page, timer type "go to deep standby" should achieve the same thing without the clutter of the dummy recordings. Great tip Prl. This workaround suits my needs as I don't record much that starts after midnight. I tested what would happen if a recordi...

I pressed the EPG. waited till I could see it was on the wrong page of my favourites, started arrowing up quickly, it stuttered then gave me a page of error text and advised me it was going to create a crash log and reboot. I tried reproducing it shortly after it rebooted and couldn't. Now its happe...

Stubn

Hi

Was scrolling up (multiple 'up' button pushes) through the EPG and I crashed the T3... its only happened once so I'm not sure if anyone's interested in the log or not?

Crash log attached.

Stubn

I only experience these continuous reboot cycles when I go to turn the unit on the next day or, after extensive periods when the unit has been turned off. It can take 25+ minutes for the unit to boot up successfully. I often have to turn the switch off at the back before the unit eventually boots u...

Stubn

No probs and thanks again.

Stubn

When you have your favourites list open, you just press "Menu", and then select "Enable Move mode". You can then move the channels around using the colour and arrow buttons (they are labelled fairly clearly once move mode is active). Thanks, that was the start I needed, I hadn't...

I've pressed lots of buttons but I can't work out how to reorder my favourites, how do you do that?

I think I'll leave them alone then

Stubn

Would there be any benefit in removing unused plugins as Joe is doing above?

Stubn

Great plan, and either alternative would be appreciated by my family. I hope you are able to look at it some stage.
