I just need to find a list of button codes e.g. 352 means the "OK" button on RCU

This may help: https://bitbucket.org/beyonwiz/easy-ui- ... /keyids.py

In particular, "KEY_PLAYPAUSE": 164.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

No problem.

What do you want to know about it? Dolby Downmixing is a process where Dolby 5.1 sound is downmixed to stereo. Disabling it means that the original 5.1 audio is delivered.

prl

Do you mean something like the Web API that Open Webif uses? That's documented here: https://dream.reichholf.net/e2web/

prl

And does it help with the problem?

prl

OK, but what is the streaming protocol between the Beyonwiz and the TV? If it's DLNA, then closing down the T4's DLNA server will prevent access from the TV. Have you tried it? Just stopping the DLNA server should be enough for you to check whether it's effective.

prl

You can disable the DLNA streaming server on the T4, if that's what your TV is using. In MENU>Setup>Network>DLNA Server, press RED Remove Service. That will remove the DLNA service from the T4. It canm be reinstalled again by going to MENU>Setup>Network>DLNA Server and reinstalling it. If that's two...

No problem, but it's really peteru who should get the thanks

I had a bit of a play with the links that were broken when I last tried, and they do seem to be fixed now.

When I select My Passport as the destination it expands into the below pic When I press the yellow copy button nothing happens - the info button 'task list' shows as empty Do you want to copy the whole recordings, or just the recording data files?

prl

You should be able to navigate into the My Passport for Mac folder and then to the destination folder you want to use when you're asked to "Choose copy [or move] directory" when you do a Copy or Move.

Is that not working for some reason?

I'd guess from the two volume names shown that the HDD was formatted on a MacOS, and that the two volumes on the HDD (one of which is not shown when the HDD is mounted on a Mac) are formatted as Mac HFS+. It's a bit unclear exactly what's in the Boot OS X folder. If you open MENU>Information>Devices...

prl

That problem can be avoided (on newly created folders) by enabling "Use portable folder names" in the Series2Folder configuration screen. Use portable names should be enabled by default. But it will mean moving all the recordings from the folders with names containing characters not allowe...

I'd be happy to run a debug version if that helps you but my problem is intermittent. Can be ok for weeks. Not a problem on the T4. The fact that your issue intermittent is exactly why I haven't already asked :) It just occurred to me that an issue may be in the folder name. Warning: This next bit ...

prl

Thanks for the details about the recordings. The U4 is on 24/7 but reboots daily in the early hours, around 6:00 AM. I never put it on standby. Sometimes it has recordings running until around 1:00 AM. Series2Folder should do an automatic run about 2 minutes after the enigma2 application starts afte...

prl

Strange. You've mentioned Home and Away recordings (presumably from FTA) and HDMI-IN recordings as not being moved, but does the problem happen only for particular shows, or, when the moves stop working, does it affect all new recordings on the PVR? Also: do you normally keep the PVR in standby or i...

Has anyone managed to use the Hauppauge twin tuner to work with the Beyonwiz T2? On a T2 with the standard firmware drivers, it's not even recognised in the Linux kernel. If the right driver could be loaded, it might work, but I think that only 1 of the 2 tuners could be used, because of other limi...

prl

Thanks, Paul. I still haven't heard back from the OpenATV user about tests I asked them to run with added debug code in Series2Folder. When the cause of their issue becomes clearer, it might clarify what's causing your missed moves, too.

I have experienced flakiness in S2F. Works fine for ages moving home and away to a folder in the background but lately, they pile up in the movies directory, which is on the internal HDD on the rear U4. Works fine on the T4. When they pile up, does the problem ever resolve itself? And does a manual...

prl

I am working on some fixes to Series2Folder: Trying to debug why it works just fine on one of an ATV user's PVRs, but only works when run manually, but not in the background, on the other. One unusual thing in the case is the user has both PVRs recording to (different) Windows shares. If anyone else...

OK. I'll be happy to try to help if you have the problem again.

Hi there. Where would I find the timer log please? The timer itself disappears after the recording event. You get the timer log by going into the timer list, navigating to the timer you want to check and pressing the INFO button on the remote. Timers are held for 7 days by default (if they're not r...

2. We tried the cable in another port on the switch no go. I guess by "no go" you mean "connected at 100Mb/s" rather than "didn't work at all"? 3. I have a laptop. Is there a way to test the cable at u4 end and at least rule out u4? Is the laptop the same computer as t...

prl

This is where an Ethernet cable tester makes the job a lot easier. My managed switch can do simple cable tests by itself, though when I had the connection problem, its estimate of where the fault was was way out – the distance said that it was a far-end fault, but it was actually a near-end fault.

prl

Perhaps the cable with the broken clip has twisted one of the Ethernet socket pins so it now isn’t making proper contact with the patch lead. You may need to have a close look with a magnifying glass or something similar. This sort of thing can cause a drop in Ethernet line connection speed from 1G...

Are you using AutoTimers? And are the multiple recordings each complete recordings of the whole show?

prl

MENU>Setup>TV>Recording settings>Default movie location

prl

No problem.

prl

Is there anything I need to do before I start using the blue button again? There shouldn't be, but all your old auto timers will be gone. It might be possible to reconstruct some of the old autotimers from the saved copy of the corrupted autotimer.xml file, but it may not be worth the effort, and w...

Where can I get a new Remote for my T4 PVR (or can I use another model?) You can use any Beyonwiz remote with a T4. The Beyonwiz shop is showing the T3 remote as "in stock". It's marked as "Beyonwiz Replacement Remote for T2 T3 T4 & U4". It will work as a remote for all of t...

Have you looked in the timer log for a timer that made the recording? In the timers list (TIMER from live TV), scroll down to the timer and press INFO (the i button). Are there any entries that look like errors? If so. or you're not sure, post a screenshot.

There is no evidence in the settings that any of the internal tuners are faulty. My current understanding is that each internal tuner is capable of the simultaneous...

Fyi,I fixed it myself, as already stated above, with firmware 20190601 as I haven't been able to afford a computer for 10 years for usb upgrade to 20191106 and you can no longer do upgrades online, so I don't have firmware 20191106. Anyone who you know who has a computer with a USB port can get the...

It was fixed in 20191106.

Ah. Thanks.

I'm glad you found a fix. I don't know why it worked, though.

I thought it was a Hard Reboot. Black screen, lots of text. Pointy spinner (IIRC). That's a GUI restart after a crash of the enigma2 application. An OS crash will take you through the Big Blue Button screen The crash file you posted is a crash from within the C++ part of enigma2, and doesn't give m...

Reading the recent posts on the forum it seems apparent that if it is a hardware fault the v2 can't be repaired by bw.

That's correct.

I tried a new use cable that came with the new hdd. An error message has come up a few times which says to notify the bw forum of but it is so brief I have been unable to capture it.

But only OpenViX and OpenATV have IceTV support, if that's important. Yes and instant skipping, not the FFW rubbish. I think the Fetch is the FFW sadly For clarity, AFAIK, all of the enigma2 variants, not just ViX and ATV, support skipping, though they generally don't have the use of the four UP/DO...

prl

It's starting to sound like a hardware problem. A long shot, but probably worth trying, would be to try a different USB cable. Are you able to log in to the commandline interface on the V2 so that you can look at the system logs and see whether there are any HDD errors when you try to do the formatt...

I thought the two are related by the enigma2 firmware so in theory similarish in use?

Similar-ish, yes, and anyone familiar with the Beyonwiz firmware shouldn't have too much trouble with any of them. But only OpenViX and OpenATV have IceTV support, if that's important.

prl

I definitely shouldn't take that long. It's stuck in the part of the process that actually does the formatting.

Does it work any better if you connect the HDD to the other USB port?

prl

Purchased a new hdd, tried formatting but is not advancing from 51/100. The steps in the progress bar are the basic steps in doing the format: unmount the HDD, repartition the HDD, format the HDD, mount the HDD, and it can sit on the format step for a while. How long are you giving it, and is there...

To clarify: Does the "Creating hard link to timeshift file failed!" still appear now that the WD drive is the only one connected? Does it go into the stalled "spinner" state only if you go into the EPG (as seemed to be implied in your earlier post), or does it stall after about a...

prl

The Vu+ doesn't run Beyonwiz firmware (and probably never will). It runs a variety of different enigma2-based firmware images that are all different from each other and from the Beyonwiz firmware. OpenViX probably has the best IceTV support (but it's not pre-installed). IceTV should also work on Ope...

What HDDs, of any, are connected connected?

So a family's Beyonwiz has just died. Any idea as to when stock of the V2 will be available? Thanks Beyonwiz has made no announcement of what their state of operation is. I doubt very much whether there will be any stock of any Beyonwiz model available in the Beyonwiz shop at any time in the future...

prl

What model Beyonwiz? Which firmware version? Do you have any USB HDDs connected? The most common cause of this is when a V2 is started with the normal recording HDD is connected to the USB3 port and a FAT32-formatted drive connected to the USB2 port. If that's the case, shut down the V2, disconnect ...
