Beyonwiz Australia

prl

I was just offered the update on our T4, but I haven’t installed it yet (watching stuff).

prl

I have committed the new changes to the picon setup to the Beyonwiz picon repository. It includes: Switching the picon for 10Shake to nickelodeon, to follow the content change in the channel. Adding the picon for gecko in Tasmania and in the regions in Vic, NSW, ACT & Qld where Ten is carried by...

prl

Thanks, blip.

The serviceref you posted confirms that I've probably got the changes correct for gecko in the areas served by SOuthern Cross.

Unfortunately, I just committed my changes to the main repository, but I'll do another commit to include your new scan data.

prl

Thanks. My guess from Canberra data about how the gecko numbering goes was wrong. A couple more servicerefs from the Southern Cross regions would be nice, to confirm it.

prl

I've incorporated my Canberra scan data and the Launceston scan data that samuelg posted into the picon setup, and I've switched all other picons for the old 10SHAKE channel to nickelodeon and commited them to my clone of the picon repository (not yet publicly available). I'd like to add the picon f...

I got a prompt reply from Altassian, and it made me realise that the problem was operator error. I have now logged back in to my Bitbucket workspace.

prl

I was able to send a query that way, so thanks again. I'll let you know how it went when I get a reply.

prl

Thanks. I'll give it a go!

I tried submitting a query at https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/ while logged in to my "new" account, but when I clicked on the "Submit report request" button, I got the ever so wonderfully helpful error message "Something went wrong, please try submitting your request...

I am hoping to be able to get my V2 able to access data held on my PC. I used to be able take a recording from my V2 and open it on the PC using VideoReDo,edit it or knock out the adds and save it. That sounds more like you wanting to access data that's on your V2 from your PC. In that case, you ne...

prl

OK, thanks. I'll give it a go.

prl

What are you hoping to do?

The first three screenshots have nothing to do with your ability to use OpenWebif to allow your PC to access the Beyonwix.

There shouldn't be any need to change the default configuration of OpenWebif (5th screenshot) in order to use it.

prl

I've hit a bit of a roadblock with committing my changes to the picon setup to the picon repository. I haven't user my Bitbucket repositories for a while, and when I went to commit my first set of changes, I found that I'd been logged out. I managed to log back in, but found that I've been logged in...

prl

To get the serviceref for a channel, you need to change channel to the channel (gecko in this case) first, then get MENU>Information>Service>Service reference. I missed out that first step in my post. I confirm that I was on the gecko station when I viewed the serviceref, Peter. That looks like the...

Fair enough. TBH I don't think I have changed anything with my feed server so I guess I should update to use adoxa's?

The picons aren't on the broken feed server. Last time I did a picon update it just worked from the usual server. I guess we'll see this time.

Gecko is available in Orange. The service reference is 1:0:16:8EA:808:320C:EEEE0000:0:0:0:

Thanks. That fits with the pattern of differences between 10SD and gecko that I've seen in other regions.

prl

It looks like gecko is another dedicated shopping channel, so we won't be watching it. Yes. Hence the "infested" in my post. Here's the service reference for Launceston: 1:0:16:9F3:903:320B:EEEE0000:0:0:0: That looks like the serviceref for a Seven channel in Launceston. I don't have it i...

prl

Now that I've done a scan in Canberra, it seems that gecko has infested beyond the regions that used to carry SpreeTV (Adelaide, Brisbane, Central Coast, Geelong, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth, Sunshine Coast & Sydney). Has anyone else noticed gecko turning up without a picon when they rescanned ...

prl

Not yet.

prl

The information given is less than precise, so I'd be inclined to take the details with a grain of salt. And slow to come. I asked for information about the port speeds as shown in the network device back in May. I'm fairly confident that the speed was never at 10GB/s. That would imply a connection...

Thank you so much for your help, without you I would be still sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

I really sincerely appreciate all that you did for me.

No problem, but the idea to use the USB keyboard came from adoxa, not me. Once I was reminded of that, the rest became clear to me.

prl

I've got the keyboard plugged in and working. Where do I go to find the current remote control code set? MENU (or SPACE on the keyboard)>Setup>System>Remote control code settings. It's where you'd have set up to use the replacement remote in the first place. If the selection in Remote is Beyonwiz U...

prl

No, I have not done it myself at any stage, unless the repair shop did. OK, then when you restored the settings (if you did restore them, I'm now not sure from your posts whether you did in fact restore them), the restored settings would have "restored" the remote code set to its original...

prl

how to bring up MENU with a keyboard. After a little experimentation, I found that on a USB Keyboard: SPACE = MENU RETURN = OK ESC = EXIT UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT = UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT Those keys are enough to get into the setup menu to check the current remote control code set and to change it if necessa...

No I have not saved the setting since we got through the bootup procedure.

That doesn't answer the question I asked. Perhaps I wasn't specific enough. Have you saved the settings between when you started using the replacement remote and when you recently reloaded the U4 firmware?

prl

One more question: have you saved settings on the U4 since starting to use the replacement remote?

prl

Nothing happens much, however I think that pressing the STB button and the 6 Key, has started a red circle (moving in a clockwise direction) that is chasing its tail just to the left of the channel. Other than that I don't see any changes. I don't think you've answered my basic questions. And I'm n...

prl

The remote that I have is in the attached image below. You will see that it is a lot thicker that what you were asking about. No, that's exactly the remote I meant. The Beyonwiz remote does not appear to be talking to the PVR, the TV and STB button lights up when I press any key on the remote. That...

prl

Thank you very much for helping me up to this stage. Thanks for your thanks, but it was adoxa who suggested using a USB keyboard to get through the initial startup. I suggested using OpenWebif, which you aren't in a position to use. The Beyonwiz remote does not appear to be talking to the PVR, the ...

prl

Is your U4 connected to your home network? If so, you may be able to use the on-screen remote in the OpenWebif interface on the U4. Just enter beyonwizu4 in the search bar of your browser. The onscreen remote is in the lefthand side bar. If you tick the "Capture screenshot" box under the r...

The more I read about the Panasonic the less I like the sound of it.

IMO the "big brand" PVRs have always been behind the specialist PVR producers on performance and flexibility. They probably have better interoperability within their brand environment, though.

prl

I do a monthly extended SMART check of the HDD via smartctl, but first I disable Timeshift to minimise disk thrashing. I find that after I disable Timeshift that simply changing to a different network then halts Timeshift. Would there any further benefit by restarting the GUI instead? Not that I ca...

prl

Really I would just like to know about the Panasonic and the tuner! Did you look in the manual? https://www.panasonic.com/content/dam/Panasonic/au/en/PDF/DMR_HWT260-USER-MANUAL.pdf I did, and there doesn't seem to be any mention of being able to add a USB tuner in the manual. In any case, from the ...

prl

What is concerning is the manual refers to DSL. Is this correct . I would have thought it would be talking about fiber optics. The Technicolour TGT789agv is a modem/router. It uses both the modem part and the router part when connected to a VDSL (or ADSL) line. The DSL connection plugs into the gre...

If I plug in a usb hdd do I have to do a total power down before checking its state?

That shouldn't be necessary.

prl

What kind of filesystem is the HDD formatted with?
And are the T4 and V2 running the same firmware versions?

prl

Yes, thanks. I saw that, and I'll use it as a backup if I can't find a better source.

10 Shake is due to rebrand as Nickelodeon Channel from 1 August.

Has anyone spotted what logo Ten will be using for the rebranded channel?

prl

10 GB/S. Do you mean 10MB/s? I doubt that your home network can support 10GB/s. Anyway, I agree that that most likely rules out the U4 as the source of the problem. Are there any settings in modem that could affect this. There might be. There certainly are on the router/modem I use (Fritz!Box 7590)...

Would you have the code to use to control a DP-P2 from the AP-U1?

None of the DP series firmware source code was ever released, if that's what you mean by "code".

prl

Here is a whacky theory. Are the two Wiz units in the same location? If so, I suspect that the T2 is set to respond to all remote control code sets, and when you set a timer on the V2, the T2 is following the same keystrokes and setting its own timer for whatever show it happened to be pointing to ...

prl

When that setting is on, what are its effects? The mounted network share effectively becomes the PVR's HDD, or replaces it, if it has a HDD. But timers aren't stored on the HDD, whether it's a real HDD or a network share that's been mounted as the HDD. But it means that if PVR A mounts PVR B's HDD ...

prl

There is a lot of DP series stuff in https://www.beyonwiz.com.au/media/downloads/, including manuals, but there doesn't seem to be anything there about the AP-U1.

What do you need to know?

prl

You've done nothing wrong other than being using the V2 at the time that you've asked it to automatically reboot. You presumably don't want it to just reboot while you're using it, do you? The popup will only come up after the start time for the timer, and after any running recordings heve completed...

Any other suggestions?

You don't seem to have addressed the ones that peteru and I made.

prl

Does the V2 have a HDD? Did you restart the V2 with both the HDD and USB stick connected when it restarted?

And when you say "with 20+ recordings it will only display the first 6", what is "it"?

prl

Do you also see <n/a> in other places where channel names are displayed, like in the channel list (FAV from live TV), or in the infobar when watching 10 Bold (press OK while watching 10 Bold). Another Beyonwiz user has posted on the IceTV forum about the channel name for 10 Bold not appearing in Syd...

prl

If so how is this done as there isn't a usb port to plug it into? The V2 has 2 USB ports, both on the rear. When you say it has no USB ports, do you meant that both the USB ports it has are in use? If both ports are in use, you'll need to get a USB hub (probably one with an external power supply) t...
