For the record, my RT-AC86U has been a solid performer, and I have never been able to reproduce this specific mount issue in all the years it has been reported. The DHCP delay I experience remains a mystery. It appears like the delay in issuing addresses is only in the order of a hundred millisecond...

MrQuade

Check the location that miniDLNA is looking for media files.

You should be able to see that setting via the GUI Setup menu.
I thought that the /hdd/movie folder was shared by default though.

MrQuade

You should be able to reconfigure the Harmony to use T3 codes by removing the U4 device and adding a T3 device. You'll probably need to make some other adjustments to integrate the T3 device back into its activities in place of the U4. You can avoid the headaches of adding a whole new device and re...

What model receiver?

I assume it's the pre-amp mentioned in the first post - Marantz AV7706.

You expect me to read back 6 whole posts!!??

(it's been a long weekend *lolsob*)

MrQuade

Good find. Glad you persisted

What model receiver? I've not heard of I've that can do that on a power input basis. My poor old Denon can't unfortunately.

MrQuade

And I couldn't find any settings to assign advanced HDMI to any particular input on rhe 7706 so I'll stick with the solution I have I guess. On receivers, the seeing is usually applied to the HDMI output, not the inputs. On TVs, the setting can be applied separately to the inputs. That's why it is ...

MrQuade

OK thanks Peter. I can't say I'm completely clear on how it all works. Let's say I have subtitles OFF while I'm watching (e.g.) SBS in the evening. Then go to bed, and ICETv tells it to record a movie (which for the sake of the argument has captions) at 2am. Will the subtitles be included in the re...

MrQuade

No, there shouldn't be any incompatibility like that in terms of audio support. Did you by any chance upgrade your receiver so you could play UHD HDR content, and have enabled "Enhanced HDMI" mode on the ports between the T2 and TV? If so, then this is the likely cause of the loss of audio...

MrQuade

Well then!
We appear to be back for the time being!

I was missing my second home

MrQuade

I brought a T4 as far as I am aware. If however the inner m/b etc are for a U4 then I would actually not be happy. Are the U4 and T4 that much different as it is possible they installed the U4 software onto my T4. Now how the hell do I find out which it is.... Looking in settings etc will be the pr...

So I guess RodP has a U4, not a T4.

That was going to be my next question, but I was giving RodP an abundance of opportunity to volunteer that info.

MrQuade

Scrolling through the Remote choices there is no All Supported. You have T2/T4, U2/T2/T4, T3 etc but no All Supported in the menu I have on my T4. I also found no mention of it in the T4 user manual. That's very odd for a T4. I just double checked on my T2 and T3, and the option is there. I don't r...

At least it works however there is no option to set it to accept all remotes.

One of the remote options is labelled "All supported". That's the one you want, unless you are experiencing remote control interference from another device.

Only the U4 and V2 should lack that option.

MrQuade

Can I directly connect ethernet to ethernet via a laptop? It's possible, but things get complicated if your T4 is not already locally configured with a static IP address. Normally, a networked device needs to get an IP address from a DHCP server (normally your internet router). You can configure a ...

You might want to try the VuplusTV app

Looking for terms like "enigma2" and "vuplus" can yield results when looking for Beyonwiz compatible software.

MrQuade

This does seem to be a reception problem. Do you ever see the similar gaps when watching live? Have you tested using both tuners, to see if only one or the other is affected? I would also suggest that another possible cause of reception issues, is water ingress into the antenna cable. This type of d...

MrQuade

My channel EPG stopped displaying all ABC channels in both the full and favourites list last night, so some auto timer programs didn’t record. I tried switching off the box at the back, but those channels still would not show up in EPG - though they still play those channels to watch. A little tip ...

MrQuade

What do you mean by "missing recordings"? Are recordings being sent from IceTV, showing up on the EPG, bit not being recorded? If so, do the recording logs show any useful information? Or Are recordings set up on IceTV not arriving on the EPG? If so, did it affect all recordings, some reco...

MrQuade

The firmware version is 17.5.20190207. Would this be the most up-to-date version. If not, and just checking, if I upgrade would my recordings be preserved. I remember with a Topfield I had ages ago that if you updated the firmware it blew away all of your recordings. That version is pretty ancient....

MrQuade

Hopefully this is the correct topic area for this submission. I have a BW U4 (since 2018) and its working very well and reliably. However in recent times I have noticed that scheduled recordings (I use IceTV) have not worked ie the video file is 0 bytes, and generally missing the .sc and .ap files....

MrQuade

Just to clarify it's only the USB sick with the F/W that should be formatted exFat not the HDD that you record your movies onto? Your HDD should be NTFS? The USB stick with firmware updates should be FAT32, not exFAT. The HDD that you use for timeshifting should be ext4 which is the native filesyst...

MrQuade

The information I have is that 7.0 can be regarded as production, and 7.1 as development. That's good to know. It has been a hot second since I used the spare V2 in any capacity. The last time I tried, there were definitely still a few broken plugins, but not enough to make me want to revert to 6.4...

MrQuade

Thanks for that MrQuade. I'll give it a go and see what it looks like. As long as it has IceTV, and programmable commercial skip I'll be happy :) Any particular version of OpenATV I need to look for? V2 specific? Yes, you always need the specific version. Use the latest v6.4 recovery version from h...

MrQuade

Is the interface as seen on the TV similar to the Beyonwiz units? The Vu+ Duo is interesting, and it is expensive but might purchase one with OpenAVT on it and give it a go. Thanks for the information Pri OpenATV is the same fundamental box with mostly cosmetic changes in the skins and some slightl...

My best guess is that the firmware update USB stick is formatted as FAT32 and is still plugged in.

That's a very good bet!

MrQuade

Once I rebooted I look at the Information page & it said that I had the latest F/W version. As long as it had that 20211010 date in the build field, then you should be all good to go. I was then surprised to find that all of my data was still there and that I don't have to recreate a favorite l...

MrQuade

Blewey is now going well. I still can't get EPG to default to my favorites but I will keep trying. Perhaps it can be done using OpenWebIf since it's easier to use this to move channels around ect. What do you see when you press the "EPG" button then? Does the Wiz show the graphical EPG? I...

MrQuade

I am now finding that I have a missing tuner. If I go to info devices it only see 2 tuners listed. I have looped Blewy plugged into the usb Slot. Any ideas where I went wrong? If you plugged it in while the Wiz was still running, then it won't be automatically detected. You need to reboot before it...

MrQuade

Reinstalling the F/W certainly is a step in the right direction. I now have favourites selected but can't get epg to default to this choice. If you open the EPG, switch to your favourite bouquet and zap to any service within the favourite bouquet, then favourites will be selected as your default. T...

MrQuade

Located with my BW I have a smart TV and an old Squeezebox for music - all located in same room. I prefer to have my squeezebox connected by ethernet cable - better performance. If the Squeezebox is currently connected via hard-wire Ethernet, then you should definitely install a switch. My general ...

MrQuade

Go into the tuner settings and set the preferred tuner to A. Switch to all channels and observe the performance. Switch preferred tuner to tuner B and repeat. Do the same for the remaining tuners. Just changing the tuner in Tuner settings doesn't change the tuner currently in use. After changing th...

Make sure there are no recordings in progress or timers due to start. Go into the tuner settings and set ...

MrQuade

Simple steps first. Switch it off for 30 seconds using the switch on the back, and then switch it back on again. Do you see anything on the TV screen at all? Checked correct inputs and everything? If you can see the Beyonwiz splash screen, and the reboot hasn't worked, then you can try re-loading fi...

My question - Is the Beyonwiz V2 firmware running as 32-bit code (in compatibility mode) ? hence the V2 reports it as ARMv7. The CPU is running in 32 bit mode, though I wouldn't describe that as running in "compatibility mode", other than the CPU is compatible with 32 bit ARMv7 and is ope...

MrQuade

V2 definitely only supports 5 tuners; the U4 can support 7 tuners, but it tends to drop tuners in excess of 5; for a while my U4 had 2 Sony PlayTV dual tuners attached, but keeps on dropping one. When I say supports, I mean it works with 5 tuners. I know it will detect more than 5, but operation of...

MrQuade

Of the other Beyonwiz models, the T3 and U4 have 3 built-in tuners and can be expanded to 4 tuners using USB tuners. The T2 has 2 built-in tuners and can be expanded to 3 tuners with a USB tuner. The U4 has 3 built-in tuners and can be expanded to 4 tuners using a USB tuner. The V2 has 3 built-in t...

MrQuade

Also, When you are recording on HDMi, avoid zapping to or from the live HDMI preview. Any time you zap to or from the HDMI recording in progress, the recording will suffer a short glitch/dropout.

Otherwise, you can just about treat the HDMI input like any other channel.

MrQuade

Is the V2 running the latest firmware? (October 2021) 19.3_20211010 https://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=14964 The external USB tuner has failed somehow.

If you just want to save Netflix shows, then you are better off just grabbing a torrent off a pirate site. Infinitely easier.

Obviously once in "update" mode the "TVOut" doesn't change the display modes, when I power the V2 on normally I have to use the "Tvout" to select the required mode. Do you have to re-set the Video mode every time you turn on? That shouldn't be necessary. Once you have ...

Try a different tv. The one you are using sounds like it is having difficulty with the default resolution (probably 576i? Imported TVs might have terrible with that). Failing that if have to run a funny run myself to remember the key sequence ;). If I was to guess, you press down and OK, then probab...

Nope.

You'd need a U4, or a T4, with a HDMI Chromecast-capable device with a HDCP stripper (HDMI splitter) to do that.

You need to set up a network password in the V2 first. MENU->Setup->Network->Password You can then just connect to it using filezilla by either its IP address (if you know what it is), or connect to "beyonwizv2" (if your network and DNS is working properly). The username you have to use is...

Thanks MrQ. A reboot (with my size 13's ) did the trick.

One of the tuners must have gotten "stuck" on a service somehow, or otherwise had become unavailable. Very odd!
