Right. I switched the box to use the internet time signal instead of broadcast time in the expectation that that would fix the problem, but it has happened two more times since then. Things stop getting recorded, I press the timer button, choose cleanup, and am left with a blank screen. I go into th...

engjs

Would it be possible to add a check to compare the broadcast time with the network time/ local time inside the V2 and reject any broadcasat times that were totally ridiculous? If you at using network time, then the broadcaster time is not used. No real point in comparing them if network time is ava...

engjs

You would be best using Network time rather broadcast. Much more reliable and possibly could be the cause or at least contributing. Yeah, sometimes I get a bad broadcast time (bad signal) which jumps a few months into the future, wiping all the timers (and sometimes trash). But in this case the com...

No time not timers. -- TV Broadcast What filters are you removing? When I create an autotimer, Restrict to Specific Services and Restrict to days are enabled, and Restrict to specific Bouquets and Use other filters are disabled. I generally disable the two that are enabled. Your location not where y...

engjs

Do you have the AutoTimer setting 'Poll automatically' enabled? Poll automatically is set. Given that the EPG only extends 7 days and the system works for much longer periods before deleting everything I would assume this is working okay, i.e. that the EPG is updating and that Autotimers are being ...

Hi You really need to provide a lot more information for any constructive answers. What version of firmware? 4.4.35, 19.3, 20191106 How are you setting time? Goto EPG, locate program, push record, select Add Timer or Add Autotimer, Save. For Auto timers I usually go back later and remove the filter...

engjs

I set up autotimers and some timers. After a month or two the new recordings stop. I push the TIMER button, use the cleanup, and there are no recordings listed. I go into Setup->AutoTimer->first on list and push OK and SAVE. And 78 new timers are added to the list. This has happened three times now....

If I am in timeshift, e.g. if I have pressed pause and resumed, and I open the favourites menu, and I choose a different channel, the beyonwiz displays the leave timeshift dialogue. When I exit this, the favourites menu will continue to display and can't be closed, and the buttons will not work: the...

engjs

If I use the arrow keys to advance or backup live TV or media player, the picture updates with each key press. If the beyonwiz is paused, no update happens until it is unpaused, at which point it starts playing from where it was moved to. So you cannot tell where you are if the pause button is set. ...

I recently bought a V2 to replace my failing T4. I'd like to dump the setttings on the T4 so I can use them to reconfigure the V2. I can get into the unix admin account via telnet, but I can't figure out where the configuration files are stored. I'd be grateful if some kind soul could point me to th...

Just for completeness.

When Windows tells you your username, don't believe it. It lies.

With the right username everything worked.

engjs

Sounds like a problem with file system permissions on the PC. That would explain why you can mount the share, but see no content. Looks that way to me too, but I just can't find the bit that is different. :-( I tried disabling the firewall and the virus protection. Neither made any difference. I tr...

Create a share on your wife's PC and see if you can access it from both the Wiz and your PC. I created a share. No errors. I mapped it on my PC and could access it. No errors. I set up a mountpoint for it on the T4. No errors. I tried to access the directory from the T4. "Directory '/media/aut...

engjs

Can you share what that key was? I had to change HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\IRPStackSize to REG_DWORD 0x20 (32). I think it defaults to 15. It wasn't there so I created it. Without it attempts to access the share failed with an out of memory error. I assume it's ...

engjs

Do you have another computer you can use to access the HYRULE share from? I have the share mounted and accessible from my wife's PC. Had a struggle to make it work; I ended up having to create a registry key on my PC to make it work. It has to be "vers=2.1" not "Vers=2.1". The l...

engjs

Try vers=2.1 instead of Vers=2.1

I'm not entirely sure is the mount options are case insensitive or not.

Doesn't work either way. I has checked that previously.

engjs

Like you, I used to manually allocate IPs and they worked most of the time but occasionally one would play up. The router assigned IPs linked to MAC address are superior. You could just try the T4 if nothing else works. I know the IP's are working because I can telnet from the PC to the T4 using th...

engjs

How do you allocate IP addresses? I don't use DHCP. Each device in the subnet gets its own IP V4 address, which I type in manually. That way if I see an IP address I know which device it links to. What puzzles me is that the T4 seems to be going through the process of mounting the share without thow...

engjs

I've upgraded to 17.5 firmware, set it all up again, set up the mount point again, it still gives me the same error message.

engjs

The mount point has username and password set, and they're correct. That said, I've turn off the password protected sharing setting on the PC in order to get the Network browser to work. I changed the mount options to "ro,utf8,vers=2.1" and cycled the T4. It didn't fix the problem. Under m...

Deleted the share, rebooted, recreated it, problem solved. When I first set it up I had to change the mount options to get it to mount, this time no problems. Thanks for your help guys. On a different note, when I use the remote the buttons double press a lot. So if I press pause it pauses momentarl...

Fred shows as active in Mount Viewer. Fred is listed in File Commander. Does it show when in the media listing, then using YELLOW/Location? That is the standard way to access a share AFAIK. Fred shows in the Location list, and if you select it then it goes there. The Location list includes the five ...

So you are saying that it appears here: 1_0_19_326_320_3202_EEEE0000_0_0_0 (1).jpg But is not a selectable goto destination? I'm not sure why that wouldn't be working for you.....

I tried to install the 16.1 update on my T4 this morning and it failed dismally. Everything was fine up to the point where it asked me to press the (^) button on the front of the display. The button doesn't work. As I've never used these buttons before I'm inclined to think that the button has never...

engjs

By "crash" I mean that the media player hangs and waits for you to either press stop or move to a new file and press play. I've seen it suggested that this is because the player is crashing due to errors at the end of the file. My point is that it is just not acceptable for the player to b...

If I change channels by typing numbers, it takes a long time before the channel changes. For example, if I press '1' to change to the ABC (which is set at channel 1) , I must wait about 5 seconds before the change happens.

Progress. When I play them on the PC (Real Player 11.0.2) the same thing happens, but with nowhere near the same visual impact. I tried the originals on the TV and there's nothing there, so something in the process of turning them into avis has screwed them up. Also, I've watched them on the BW befo...

Tried MPEG4 Modifier, and yes it was packed. So I unpacked it and tried playing it and it made no difference.

Firmware is 1.5.247 (Jun 2008)

We have line of sight to Mount Sugarloaf (Newcastle) where all the major TV relays are, so our reception is usually excellent.

I'm not really up on the problems being worked on -- I've noticed a few bad things, such as the crap job it does when you play a dvd in it. My take would be that first priority should be getting a solid working platform together, reliable with everything working properly, before adding new stuff. Un...

Mate, either the image being displayed is held in different memory to the image being processed, in which case what you are saying is nonsense, or the animation is being held in memory at the same time as the image is being loaded, in which case the size of the frame of the animation being displayed...

engjs

Actually, this hasn't answered my question. Surely it takes just as much memory or whatever for the Beyonwiz to show an animated loading screen while loading the next picture as it would for it to keep showing the current picture. Why can't it just leave the picture displayed while it loads the next...
