I'm getting the upgrade prompt on my T4 as well. It first popped up in the wee hours this morning (28th Dec).

I'm currently on: Image 4.4, Kernel 3.14.2, Drivers 2016-04-05, Bootloader Mon June 15 2015, Front Panel 20057, Last Upgrade 2016-08-17

Did you try powering off for more than a minute, or did you just flick on and off? Sometimes allowing the front panel capacitor to discharge will allow the bootloader to run successfully. Yes - tried that. Having used (and built, and fixed, ...) computers for over thirty years, I never just " ...

Chuckles

Just an FYI... My T3 has been functioning quite happily - the last changes made were: - loading the last official firmware back around the beginning of November and reloading the IceTV and Plex plugins following that. - the Channel 9 re-tune last week Everything was working fine last night. When I c...

I had the same problem with IceTV earlier this week.

I noticed some fairly large gaps in the IceTV EPG content for channel 7 (Melbourne) at the time.

Hopefully they will quickly get over these early teething issues following their relaunch...

I see their mass e-mail service is as unreliable as ever. I've not received the e-mail (double checked all the spam folders, etc.). So even though I'm interested, I have no link to click.

I wonder how many others they'll miss in this way.

Chuckles

You wouldn't guess what was happening from its Web page, either. The home page still has a banner ad for SKIPPA at a starting price of $499. I sure hope they aren't accepting payments for new orders... Its fine for them to be taking orders and accepting payments, but the Administrators are on the h...

The problem now with trying to sell the business is that purchaser of the epg service will want the customer base as it normally provides as ongoing income. With icetv many of the customers have already prepaid so all a purchaser would be buying is a liability to provide a service to customers for ...

Chuckles

Why wouldn't the latest FW have updated it? The bootloader is updated separately from the firmware - it is not included in the firmware image. In PC terms, think of the bootloader as the BIOS and the firmware as the Operating System (and applications). The bootloader starts first and then loads the...

Sorry for the cross-post, but now that we have a dedicated sub-forum for the apps...

Chuckles

One problem I've encountered - if you've created directories to file recordings under, they don't appear to visible or navigable within the App. I.e. " Recordings " shows the recordings in /media/hdd/movie but doesn't show any directories therein, nor allow you to specify or navigate to a ...

Chuckles

Yes (but on my T3) - seems to run for about a week after a reboot until blanks start appearing.

A reboot immediately fixes the problem (for another week).

Chuckles

Downloaded the plex server software and tried to configure it. There was a section where you could change how it would collect the meta data. Every time I changed the settings for TV and Movies, it would go back to defaults. Maybe I was doing something wrong (doubtful), but it didn't instill me wit...

Chuckles

We may need to settle for this instead: Amazon.com

Chuckles

Yes, but somebody (or something) else has to serve it that C0FFEE to wake it up.

With a Barista, it could not only be self serving, IT could wake ME up with a C0FFEE.

Mmmm...hot C0FFEE...arrrrgle...

So it's decided - the T4 definitely needs donuts.

Though turning it off then on again is usually a better fix

Chuckles

I've also mapped DVR to Media on my Harmony Ultimate - works well. I've also installed the 4.5.66 firmware and haven't had any trouble with the T3 (or anything else). They did change the way the IR repeats setting works with this firmware release, so if you've changed the repeats to "0" yo...

Chuckles

I didn't get the e-mail either, but I did see Dave's reply on the IceTV forums.

I've not followed it, however, as my EPG has come good without having to do so.

Same situation here

Chuckles

FYI

The Ice TV back end is having issues with series recordings again today.

I've spoken with their help desk and they are aware of the problem; their engineers are currently working on it.

You may wish to keep a close eye on any recordings you're after until the issue is resolved.

You may have driven in the nails, but I'm resurrecting this thread.

Perhaps "derivative" is a better term than "image". In IT terms, an "image" has certain connotations vis-à-vis similarities.

Every now and then peteru makes gentle suggestions to me about the non-Pythonish idioms I sometimes use. @peteru: What's this thing? "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS"? "People called Romanes they go the house?" @prl: It... it says "Romans go home". @peteru: No it doesn't. What's La...

Yes - same problem here (in Melbourne).

Chuckles

A common way to fix this issue in media stack deployments is to mask the front of the device and use independently addressable IR blasters so that the recorders only see IR commands meant for them. It does mean you require a more sophisticated IR controller, but sometimes its the only way.

Chuckles

Yes and for me too, but earlier this week CH7 were advertising toy story as being on Saturday night so I wondered if there had been a change to the epg that the t3 hadn't dealt with properly OK - now you've lost me. For me, with regards to both the Toy Story show earlier in the week and Madagascar ...

Chuckles

Strange, as my IceTV guide correctly showed Madagascar 2 (and has for some time). The Toy Story Halloween show was on earlier in the week (and appeared in the guide correctly at the time).

Chuckles

There was a plugin pre-installed on the T3 when it first came out which provided metadata and poster shots for local movies, but apparently it was buggy, got pulled and it hasn't been seen since. I don't know what the bugs were. As I already had a Plex server running I've just been using DreamPlex -...

Chuckles

I see from the specs it has HDMI 1.4 and supports 1080p. Also, the Ethernet is Gb.

Have you pushed these yet to test them? If so, how did it fare?

try Advanced Search on "USB eSATA" and maybe you two can make up....

Chuckles

There have been a number of discussions touching on this, but I don't know whether anybody has measured the relative performance and arrived at recording throughput limits.

The forum's search function is your friend...

Chuckles

As for the recording progress bar, I have never played with multiple recordings enough to know what recording it does show. For it to be useful, it should show the current recording that will finish last. That can be the only possible purpose for a recording progress that is only capable of showing...

Chuckles

Or is it because we're X number of days since the last firmware update was released and the T3s are now kicking off a scheduled task (e.g. emptying the trash folder)?

Chuckles

Several people have been reporting this problem. I've noticed that the T3 appears to have a built-in rate limiter on it's file deletion function. This is presumably to prevent the hard drive from becoming overly busy when deleting files that it impacts any recordings in progress at the time. You can...

Can we also assume there are no quota restrictions or similar in effect on the NAS?

Chuckles

Ok - the top of the lamedb file appears to give a nice summary of all the transponders you have tuned. In my case, I only have the Mt. Dandenong transmitters (as I suspected). Do you get the Have a lot of bugs! message at the end of the file? Certainly do. Wouldn't want to feel like I'm missing out...

Chuckles

Ok - so they're saying that the IceTV servers send EPG data to the T3 based upon what the T3 requests, which in turn is based upon service IDs? So that if you end up with two or more instances of the same service in your tuning tables (because you've tuned two different transmitters) then you will g...

Chuckles

They have asked if I might be getting my signal from different transmitters. The theory being that I actually have multiple epgs that sit on top of each other. When updates come through it only affects one of the epgs causing the overlaps. This is just a theory from them but has some merit as it wo...
