Mr Quade, do you have a Shield Pro or a Shield tube? I am wondering if the difference in our experiences is due to the difference in our Shields. A Shield 2017 and a Shield Pro 2019, same results on both. I don't think that would make a difference for this problem though. The software will be pract...

MrQuade

I have on occasion been tripped up by skin-specific differences in behaviour of Kodi. If you can indeed see the sub folder contents maybe it's because you are using a different skin from tyreless. Just the default confluence skin. My Kodi installs are basically fresh. I haven't had much of a use fo...

MrQuade

You need to unmount the disk before checking it. Probably best if you boot up the V2 without the HDD plugged in first. Plug it in, and then go to the main menu and select the "Simple Umount" option on the leftmost column. Unmount the harddisk, and then you should be able to run a check on ...

MrQuade

I am bemused that your shield shows subfolders from your T2, as I have the same setup. I have posted my issue in the kodi forums and the developer is having a look so maybe something will turn up there. Amongst other things, he/she asked me to specify the enigma2 platform I am running, but I wasn't...

MrQuade

I had a quick go with Kodi 19.3 with the enigma2 PVR plugin running on an Nvidia Shield. EPG and streaming live work fine, but I can't seen any recordings at all, let alone just ones in the root recording folder. Just so I am clear. You are able to see recordings, just not ones stored in sub-folders...

MrQuade

I don't use subfolders, but the movie directories of a T2 and U4 are available to me in Kodi through Add Network Location in the Add Videos dialogue. I would try that to see if the subfolders show up there. Mapping the BW movie directories will work regardless of which TV backend you use for Kodi. ...

MrQuade

OT, but do either of you use HEOS speakers, or the heos environment? I've been wanting to get some wireless speakers, but it's hard to find reviews that don't have the usual 'works great, until they don't' comments. I've had Yammy receivers for years but as yamaha seems to be abandoning musiccast, ...

Playback is choppy but I haven't upgraded the HDMI cable yet. Had to turn off downmixing too.

Good stuff

. It's best to turn off downmixing when you are feeding the audio into a fully-features receiver like yours.

MrQuade

Thanks for replying MrQuade. Rather expected you might since you have a Denon too. And same year series if your signature is still current, so that's helpful. Though looking at the feature list, it looks like the X2400 never received the eARC firmware update, so keep that in mind, that your receive...

Is there a known configuration that works for U4 sound at 2160p when connected via a Denon AVR? Works fine for me. My U4 is set to 2160p with the Auto resolution option enabled. What does the Audio Info screen on the Denon say when you loose audio? Is there any detected audio stream at all? Have yo...

MrQuade

That EBay remote is ringing alarm bells in my head. I have never heard of a remote that was designed to work with the DP and T series PVRs. I did an image search on that, and it matches with a "One For All" universal remote. Presumably then this one can be programmed with a PC, or contains...

such that there is a "beyonwiz" folder in the root directory of the disk, and under that, there is a "u4" folder that contains all the update files

Whoops, yes! brain disengaged while I was typing that. I even checked!

MrQuade

I left my U4 on all night last week and when I tried to turn it off it was frozen. Powering it off and back on didn't heip. The screen comes on with the Beyonwiz logo but the box screen just says booting... and nothing else happens. I have tried to upgrade to the most recent version of the U4 softw...

MrQuade

The only thing that might cause it is the reserving space for recordings. I do not recall changing it but will try something smaller. It is just that this automatic deletion occurs even if the file is just 1.5 GB in size. That'd be exactly what is causing it. You are asking the Wiz to keep 900GB fr...

It tells me no network devices found. Network test says local network disconnected, and that both my IP address and Nameserver are unconfirmed. On LAN connection page all current settings say N/A.

I have been having problem with network for a few days but now it's worse. Today I got the attached message. I have looked at setup networking but don't know where to start. I have tried a few things there but gave up because I might make things worse and as you know my network at home is working. ...

MrQuade

Looks very interesting. Reading the comments, it's funny how there are so many people that love the Shield. I've got the 2019 model, and I could not get it to play my video files (through Plex) without it dropping frames. Using the U4 with the DreamPlex plugin, it's perfect. The Shield has been sit...

Samsung's QD-OLED TV Yep sorry, that's what I was referring to when I used the Q-OLED term. I don't know who else other than Sony and Samsung is doing QD-OLED in the TV market, but Dell had released at least one monitor model. There may have been one of the B-tier manufacturers too..... Enough to s...

MrQuade

Q-OLED is where things are heading in the short term. This technology uses a single colour OLED array to provide the light on a per-pixel level like normal OLED, but then uses the "Q" quantum dots to filter the light and losslessly produce the colour. You get increased brightness over an O...

I just saw this new Android box featured in a Youtube video via my random wanderings: https://youtu.be/_2FGKaTxp60 This sort of thing would make for an excellent platform for PVR/media duties.

MrQuade

OK, so it looks like I'm not going to get anywhere with this in Perth. Anyone have an idea of what it will cost to get the T4 checked out and the heat sinks upgraded by the Sydney based repair shop, as previously suggested? Of course, shipping both ways will need to be added to that. Have you tried...

Are you sure the Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD does not work? It looks like a modern t2 tuner with early enough linux support.

The ones in the first lot of EBay links that Grumpy Geoff provided are single tuner and known to work with Wiz PVRs.

MrQuade

I don't know whatever came of the project to develop an Enigma2 build for x86, but that would have opened up all sorts of home brewed PVRs. Possibly lots of headaches supporting all of the possible combinations of hardware and relying on the CPU for some codecs or demuxing activities, but I wouldn't...

MrQuade

my t3 crashed again, is this the place to send the log? The message goes away real quick! Your firmware revision is very out of date. You should upgrade to the latest version using the USB update method. The latest image files from October last year can be found here: https://www.beyonwiz.com.au/fo...

I have been using a DP-P2 recorder for many years and whilst it is still working, its starting to show its age. I have a T4 that was given to me by a family member and I would like to use it to swap out the P2. The Beyonwiz is integrated into my home automation (smart wired) and my AV tech wants to...

I also turn off timeshift because it is pretty useless and writes all the time. The microsd also works well, but I only use 512gb for that. 1tb might become possible/cheap enough but I don’t think there was one when I looked. Turning off timeshift isn't as easy an option for many people who conside...

I think that "Trash" is only used on the storage device that is mounted as /hdd. prl made a post that describes how the Trash folder(s) work on /hdd. Basically though, /hdd/movie/.Trash is for stuff you have deleted in the movie folder, and /hdd/.Trash is for anything that isn't in the mov...

But today, the sound simply cut out - perfect picture, but no sound.

Is that happening on both the T4 and the DP-P1?

Have you tried turning the T4's Dolby/DTS downmixing option off to see if you get sound that way?

MrQuade

Try recording on five different networks and then change channels to each network. One network will probably refuse to display, like I found. Doing this does not crash anything, you can still switch back to another network ok. Did you try this test with one of the tuners disabled, or with all 6 sti...

MrQuade

I accidently deleted the Movie directory on the internal HHD of my U4 PVR when I was deleting videos and then found I could not record and save live TV. That's an odd thing to have happened. And I feel for you to have lost all those recordings! :( If the movie directory goes missing, the U4 should ...

How do I disable the sixth one. Can I ftp in and edit a file or something?

Nothing so fancy. Just go into the setup menu, find the tuner configuration section and select one of the tuners to disable.

MrQuade

I have only ever heard of 5 tuners being successfully employed. I believe someone has tested 5 recordings and one live stream before, but there were some odd problems encountered. I think you are best off either physically removing one tuner if you can, or else, just disabling one of them in softwar...

MrQuade

Both cache reload and save are off . And reading the message in the info box for reload I would certainly not have turned it on. Thats good then :). Before we changed that description, to many people were turning it on and making a mess of their EPG :) Other possibilities are that channel 9 had stu...

I doubt that I messed with the cache reload, and certainly not before the problems appeared.

You can go into the EPG settings and check.

MrQuade

I had a second major issue, with gradually disappearing EPGs. I am not sure I ever saw one from Nine, no matter how long I left it on the channel, so I just assumed they had stopped broadcasting one - I stupidly didn't think to just check the TV itself. Then, recently, 7 and 10 EPG's disappeared as...

MrQuade

By The Way, what is the latest firmware ( where is it located) ? Is it production or Beta? Will I still need to install the switch script for the auto updates, after the USB install ? Thank you Latest firmware is the general release firmware, there is no beta current. https://www.beyonwiz.com.au/fo...

MrQuade

The wiz units won't automatically update without intervention. If the both spontaneously rebooted at the same time then it is fairly likely there was a power interruption. On tradition of power, the T2 will automatically boot up. Are they definitely stuck? Do they respond to the remote at all? If so...

We're unlikely to need mesh capabilities as we will have two living areas needing coverage at opposite ends of the house. The router will be near the front. I was thinking of adding a WiFi access point at the rear if necessary since that will be our main living area. Mesh systems aren't much more t...

I had the issue for a while, then it went away. To my recollection, MrQuade has not had the issue. I've not been able to reproduce the fault.

Never mind. I forget to change the qnap nfs mask from 192.168.8.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24

Just "subnet". The mask is just the "/24" part, and NFS means something different (it's like a filter storage sharing protocol).

Good job getting your mounts working anyhoo

.

MrQuade

Thank you for all these helpful suggestions. Fortunately changing to FSTABS style mounts solved the problem (but I will look into using a static IP). This must be something new with the latest firmware as AUTOFS has always worked in the past. The problem with fstab is that if the mount location is ...

MrQuade

Have you tried using a static ip? Just pick a number outside your modems dhcp pool. Like if your pool is 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.200 use 192.168.1.99 for the first Beyonwiz and 192.168.1.98 for the second 192.168.1.97…. Even better, if your router supports it (and most do), then assigning a static ...

Two of the tuners are within the T2 unit as purchased and the third is connected via USB in the back of the unit. Oh right sorry.
