Problem solved. Not sure how or why and don't understand why installing a new router caused the problem. However, all I did was turn on network discovery and file sharing and made User/Owner 1 sharing with everyone.

armiller45

Have been absent from here for a long time. Just today I had to install a new Optus Router (the one configured for NBN connection). Everything went smoothly (Macs, Toshiba laptop, iPad, iPhone) with just one exception - my Beyonwiz DP P1. The BW connects to a Toshiba laptop running Windows 8. The BW...

OK! Going back to square 1. Windows 8 has been set up following Rockets link: http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=82523#82523 I feel I'm still missing something!!!! When I scan the network from Beyonwiz it cannot find any networked computers. Nothing has been changed (it previously con...

armiller45

My apologies.

armiller45

Thanks Rockets. I think I've followed your link. Can you please explain to me where I find the settings from Windows 8 to use in the BW to authenticate correctly? Sorry if it sounds a bit of a dumb Q.

armiller45

Thanks Ian. You were a huge help when I first purchased the BW and I came to value your input greatly. Might hold off for a day or two and see if there are any Windows 8 people around. Because the Vista lappy died I can't get back in to see how I had it all set up and my memory has faded (a lot).

armiller45

I forget to mention the firmware is DPP1-01.05.301. I notice that it's now up to 350 - I hadn't updated because I was following the principle "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Will 350 make any difference?

armiller45

For a number of years my DP-P1 connected nicely to my Vista laptop via ethernet. Last week the laptop died and I now have a low end Toshiba with Windows 8 installed. I've looked through the various posts but not been able to find anything directly related to my needs. The fact that there is very lit...

armiller45 · Point taken, firmware is 01.05.301.

Duplicate channels?

armiller45

Firmware is the latest. Didn't try to go into the Menu but I couldn't change channels on the BW.

armiller45

Tonight I was watching Prime through the P1 when a Timer recording for ABC2 kicked in. The picture on the TV went "black" even though the BW was still showing Prime on the display. This has happened on a few occasions before when a timer has started while we were watching live TV (not time...

armiller45

Upgraded to 301.

armiller45

On Monday night I was watching ABC HD and had set a timer to record Sea Patrol. Nothing else was happening or scheduled to happen. The message "Timer starting" came up on the screen at 8.30 and a few minutes later everything went "black". Had to switch back to the TV and then bac...

armiller45

Thanks for that - changed browser and worked fine.

armiller45

I've waited a few days before deciding to up update the firmware and would like to download the "old" way rather than via WizTV. However when I go to the beyonwiz.com.au and click on Download, all I get is a page full of junk. I went to the .com site and 301 isn't even listed. Can someone ...

armiller45

Thank Eric. Works great - well done!

armiller45

Thanks Eric. No great hurry - I'm happy to wait until you get around to it. Well done!

armiller45

Hmmm! Just tried mine which was previously working fine. It starts retrieving file list, gets to 42/45 and then crashes.

armiller45

Woo hoo!! All is good - Wiz can see laptop and can play files.

Thanks IanSav and tonymy01 for your comments.

armiller45

First, tonymy01: The Wiz is connected to one of the four ethernet ports on the Netgear wireless router. My iMac and my wife's are connected to two of the remaining three ports while the PC laptop is obviously connected wirelessly. From my iMac I can communicate with everything attached to the router...

armiller45

My current set up is a P1 connected with LAN to an iMac running Mac OS X via a Netgear Wireless Router. When setting up Windows Sharing on the Wiz I had to use the same User Name (short name) and Password as the iMac to allow connection. Everything works fine. I'd now like to connect to the Wiz as w...

armiller45

Thanks guys, that worked fine.

I take it that means I have to disallow any OSX Security Updates that Software Update wants to install??

armiller45

Having just returned from 3 months away I allowed my Intel iMac to do all the software updates and then discovered that the Wiz locked up when it tried to access the share which had previously worked fine. A search through the Forum came up with the workaround suggested by prl. I've downloaded Pacif...

armiller45

Thanks for that.

Is editting with the Yellow button as I described? ie Yellow for A, Yellow again for B and Pop Up to select section for deletion.

armiller45

Sorry I must be dumb:

What does Blue > Yellow to remove mean?

armiller45

Have only just had an opportunity to plat around with bookmarks after 215. Gully wrote in relation to bookmarks on another topic: "Red to set Green to Jump to Yellow to remove Blue to manage" On my BW, Yellow sets A and B markers and Pop Up button allows you to edit. Is an explanation of b...

armiller45

Great work! As I'm also on a Mac I look forward to any software which is going to bring us up to speed in relation to our Windows cousins. I look forward to more info as it becomes available.

You mentioned this is your latest Wiz project - what are the others? Where can they be obtained?

armiller45

Dumbo!

On rechecking Network settings I had DHCP disabled (has been for some time). On enabling that I got rid of the error message at Check User Info and EPG has loaded. Problem solved!

armiller45

Well I'm in NSW and having problems with IceTV. I've read and tried everyone read and tried everyone else's "fixes" and nothing works for me. On Check User Info, I keep getting "Network connection failed. Check the network setting first." Have done - dozens of times! All settings...

armiller45

Yahoo! Exactly as you suggested Tony. Clear Macros and Learn again worked like a charm. Thanks for the help.

armiller45

Nuh! I haven't got around to programming macros. Just took the remote from the packaging and thought I'd see how it worked, only to discover coloured buttons did nothing. Next I tried to "learn" the coloured buttons what to do and no success there either. Next step was Tech Support and the...

armiller45

Dave, by missing buttons are you by any chance referring to the colour buttons?

I've just received my AP-U1 and everything else works fine in the SAT mode except the colour buttons. Couldn't even learn them from the BW remote.

armiller45

OK, some help with that please. I'm using a Dlink router. On the DHCP page it indicates a list of DHCP Clients which includes IP Addresses 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3 and 10.1.1.4. The device at the IP Address 10.1.1.2 has a Mac Address 00:19:1E:00:12:56. This is the same info as on the BW network setting pa...

armiller45

Hard drive was set to spin down whenever possible so I've changed that and will see if anything changes. I've always made sure the computer (iMac) isn't in sleep mode but that may not be quite the same. "Is your PC address the same all the time?" I'm not sure! The router address is 10.1.1....

armiller45

Whenever I try to contact my computer from the BW (after the BW has been turned off for a period of time, using the remote) I have to go through a rigmarole as follows: 1. Usually get a message like "Network Server not found" or "Temporarily not accessible" 2. Selecting "Dis...

armiller45

Sorry I posted this comment to another thread and it probably should have been here. I'm still trying to deal with the issues involved in combining the BW 32 MB files into .ts. To date I've been trying to do this with files recorded from Austar (Pay TV) and using MPEG Streamclip. I also followed Pet...

I'm still trying to deal with the issues involved in combining the BW 32 MB files into .ts. To date I've been trying to do this with files recorded from Austar (Pay TV) and using MPEG Streamclip. I also followed Peter's advice and used Terminal (note I'm on an Intel iMac). On every occasion, when I ...

armiller45

Sorry, probably should have been a bit more precise. I'm actually trying to combine the 20 small files from a 30 min recording of the Wiggles for my grandson. I've tried this with two different recordings that I've saved and as I indicated, got the error message "Can't find the first video fram...

armiller45

Peter, after my initial success in using MPEG Streamclip I have tried on two occasions to combine/convert different files from BW and on each occasion have received an error message "Error: Can't find the first video frame." I've been through the Streamclip Help file without success and ev...

armiller45

As another newby I can report success in connecting my BW to an Intel iMac. I followed Peter's sticky on networking and it worked OK. I'm running the latest version of Tiger however. I also downloaded and used Sharepoints (not needed apparently for Leopard). On occasions when I try to contact my com...

armiller45

As a new owner of a BW and LiDiC I've found understanding and setting up to be somewhat of a challenge. While I've found a few places in Wollongong one can purchase the items from, genuine knowledge and experience in using and setting them up has been thin on the ground. I'd just like to thank all t...

armiller45

Makes sense. The numbers I read for SD and HD led me to believe there was a way of altering the recording setting.

Thanks a lot.

armiller45

I believe the BW can record up to about 30 hrs HD and about 100 SD. Is this correct?

Where is the setting which switches between HD and SD recording? Probably somewhere really obvious but reading through the manual etc I haven't been able to find it.

armiller45

I take it from the responses that you guys see nothing wrong with the settings I have in the BW and that there is nothing there that will improve things. I think I understand the comments about the image via the BW being compressed and then upscaled. If that's the only explanation it's a bit disappo...

armiller45

In my earlier post I was puzzling over how the picture from Austar was better quality when connected directly to the TV via S-Video than via Composite to the LiDiC. The answer turned out to be the composite connection. Once I dispensed with that and used the S-Video to the LiDiC I obtained a better ...

armiller45

Thanks Peter. A couple of questions. Do you have the MPEG-2 Playback Component? Is this necessary? I assume it is because Streamclip gives a warning message about it. Do you use Quicktime to do the editing or some other application? So far I'm only working on a 5 min file I recorded to play around w...

armiller45

Thanks everyone for all the help. Using MPEG Streamclip worked like a charm!

Next issue/question. I want to burn the resulting file to a DVD so that it can be played in a DVD player. I have Toast to do the burning.

What else do I need to know/do?

TIA

armiller45

Hmmmm!

Just tried renaming the header.tvwiz to header.ts, got the error message and clicked on Open Anyway then got a "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".

Still none the wiser!
