Hey Paul55 do you mind sharing which JB it was at?

My P1 is making occasionaly funky noises and at that price maybe i can justify the sense of security of having another wiz.

Hey,
just thought i'd add that the "mactalkoffer" discount code still works.

Which is just as well as at full price i was starting to convince myself to by a Humax just to get the lifetime icetv subscription.

Hmmmm,
now i realise that none of the programmes that i have recorded in the last 10 days are listed.

What have i done/ failed to do???

Ideas?

trent lane

....... Probably not what you had in mind. Your right, but.... Hi Trent, Wizplayer does allow you to download while recording but its as Peter has said - the header file would only reflect the current size of the show - hence changes in the show after your start playing would not be downloaded. You...

First press after power up from standby for me sometimes gave lag in past betas (it has been ages since I ran 301) but haven't had it in the last few betas. I've noticed a similar effect. Some more controlled testing certainly suggests that it is only happenning to me after initial power up. I gues...

Howdy all,

just in case it can and i just can't figure it out......

Is there any way to watch on your pc a program that the wiz is still recording??

I would absolutely love this as i could have sport playing in a small window whilst doing other things on the pc.

Thanks
Trent

To the two wizards, Just wanted to return the "seasons greetings" that i am currently getting everytime i use wizzilla lately. But it also got me wondering if/when you guys would be able to keep working on it 'cos i would love to have some more options for the file names it saves things as...

I also have noticed a lag when opening the fileplayer, when using the 301 firmware. ... I have been using current firmware since its release so that's not the new problem, thanks. How full is the HDD? I have found mine takes longer the more stuff I have on it Also think it's made worse if the Wiz i...

Hi respected (and otherwise) beyonwiz gurus, For the last month when i open the file player it hangs for a moment with a blank screen before opening. Sometimes it also takes a long time to open the HDD folder (the screen doesn't go blank in this case it just seems to take forever). The time it takes...

trent lane

cool.

I knew i could just google it but i figured i might get some interesting/amusing responses

trent lane

Thanks to both of you for the ideas. I am aware of flac but its not an option for right now. Well I have done mine as uncompressed PCM wave files - I've also transferred quite a number of vinyl and a few shellacs to the same format. Search for other posts on this. Cool. Am having a look at PCM wave ...

Hi peoples, I am about to start ripping my entire cd collection and putting it on my nas (Qnap TS-409pro). Whilst i realize the wiz isn't that great a music player i imagine i will use it to listen to music from time to time. So what i want to know is how should i rip these cds that will give: - bes...

trent lane

AutoGK suggested settings. File size: 1 CD Advanced settings: choose fixed width of 720 and I would select Xvid as the codec and auto for sound, the default. These settings produce consistent results for your collection rather than selecting automatic. One hour docos look ok at 1/2 CD size. If you ...

..... so we can have music instead of blaring ad audio when watching live TV......... You rock! I used to have this sort of arrangement with an old (and pretty dodgy) htpc that i had many years ago but totally forgot about it when i moved house and changed setups. Now that i have been reminded of i...

Thanks everyone for some great input. Some really relevant and helpful information. Say Thank You to your wife, give her a kiss, and stick with the 525. Be patient with the initial internet set-up. Have fun. Well, I did your first two recommendations and plan on doing the last two (although the pati...

trent lane

Thanks for all the input. The wife bought the 525. I haven't opened the box yet - still contemplating if i should return it and pay the extra for the 785. To be honest i can't remember exactly what it was that led me to believe it would not be adequate. If its just the 2 less activity buttons i will...

trent lane

Thanks.

I am vaguely aware of the pronto range but they are well and truly out of mine (range that is)

trent lane

Thanks for the replys so far people. Thanks for the example grampus that helps me visualize it and sells me on the whole thing ( if i am wrong about it as a present from the wife i think it will be a self-present). Well the one definitely looks more stylish Yeh, it just looks like it might feel bett...

Howdy peoples, I may be reading too much between the lines but i think my wife is about to buy me a universal remote for my birthday. :D At this stage I know that she has, after some research, decided to purchase it (whatever it is) from somewhere that will let me exchange if necessary. She's cluey ...

trent lane

Sounds promising.

Cheers.

Hi, Have just started using WizZilla and am loving it. Big thanks to the two wizzards and all that have aided its development so far. Just to add to the issues with multiple file selection: If I select multiple files (using shift or ctrl), the first file name (title + subtitle + date + time) is gene...

What channel was your Wiz tuned to at the time when the freeze up ocurred? It was playing radio digJazz (ABC) and was also recording sbs when the initial freeze up occurred. Over the next few days i was not able to change the channel prior to the wiz freezing up. However twice I was able to open th...

It WORKS AGAIN!!! I unplugged the hdmi and just went with ye olde yellow composite cable and the wiz worked without any probs (well, besides the picture quality). I did a hdd check which was completed quickly and successfully. Tried a few pvr tasks. No probs. Turned it off and plugged hdmi back in. ...

trent lane

What about upgrading? I do like "upgrading". But what are you saying i should upgrade? P1 to P2? HDD? Wife? It should be obvious but - upgrading to the latest firmware. I just thought that would involve being able to use the wiz long enough to get to the setup menu and select the right me...

What about upgrading? I do like "upgrading". But what are you saying i should upgrade? P1 to P2? HDD? Wife? This sounds very similar to http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3027 which is what I experienced yesterday and was thinking there was some sort of fault on my Bwiz. I ...

Thanks for the suggestion gully. I am not using ice but figured i would unplug the network cable anyway. No joy. I am finding it quite depressing. I keep saying to my wife "did you see that" and grabbing the remote to timeshift back a minute to show her something. Then i realize my powers ...

trent lane

Thanks peter.

I will give them a go on monday. (Fingers crossed).

But I am open to others coming up with some magical fixes for me.

trent lane

Hi all, my p1 shows "hdd check required" when i start it. Generally, I cannot select yes or no because it has already frozen :cry: . A few times i have selected yes and its performmed the check. Come up with the "check completed successfully" line BUT.... freezes when i try to se...

trent lane

Thanks peteru.

That is probably the reality of the situation for me.

But I am still curious to know if those who have done it find it FAR superior or just "a little better and I like fiddling with stuff" sort of thing.

trent lane

To NFS or not to NFS??? So, I have decided to go with the Qnap ts-409. But I just have to decide if i get the "pro" version or not. The only difference is the pro supports windows active directory, nfs and will cost an extra $65 to $100 (ie 10 to 15%). Does anyone have any opinions on whet...

Hi Trent Lane, Welcome! Congratulations on the new family member. ;) Regards, Ian. The BW ..??? ....... :P :lol: Actually the BW will be turning 1 any day now. They grow up so fast! Unlike my daughter the BW has actually freed up a little time when I consider the time I used to spend pissing about ...

trent lane

Thanks Steve.

That's what i like to hear.

I reckon i am pretty much sold on it now.

How have you found it for noise and heat?

trent lane.

ta guys.

As soon as i used it once it all became very clear.

Hopefully some other newbs will come across this thread too.

trent lane

Thanks for your respective responses np, twitch, and j s I have a DNS-323 and love it. Do you use bit torrent with it at all? I actually really like the BT client and use it all the time, but then I have a VOIP QoS router which handles the throttling Can you tell me more? I am actually in the market...

thanks gully,
that was so much simpler than the things i was trying

Hi,

showing my ignorance here.

How do you do that thing when it says in bold "so and so wrote" and then has their quote in a box?

Thanks
Trent lane

trent lane

Thanks peteru, that's pretty much what i expected.

trent lane

Thanks Ian. I did notice your name pop up when i was trawling through the readyNAS forum. It seemed like the pro had been "about to happen" for so long that I had stopped waiting for it (or rather for possible price drops in the NV+). I will keep my eye out, but I am keen to purchase soone...

trent lane

Hi all, So this post has a dual purpose: 1) Convince myself I really should get a proper NAS box (or not) 2) I am leaning towards the qnap ts-409 (possibly pro) but still considering others (notably dlink 343 and netgear ready nas nv+). Particularly after any negative feedback and tips on the qnap. ...
