When recordings are deleted using the delete function in the media selection screen (MEDIA from live TV), all the files that make up a recording should be deleted at once. Similarly if you delete a recording's .ts file in File Commander. Deleting recordings file-at-a-time using Windows Explorer depe...

There's nothing I know of to automatically clean the files out. You need to do it manually, either with Windows Explorer, or on the PVR, using File Commander (MENU>Sources / Files). Out of curiosity, what filename extensions to the orphaned files have? Presumably not .ts , they should show up in the...

Exactly what I was after, I assume I can edit this line without causing any problems The file has Unix style line endings - a single <LF> to terminate a line, not DOS/Windows line endings (<CR><LF>). If you use an editor that preserves the original line endings, then it should be fine. If the line ...

The displayed name for recordings isn't the file name, it's the second line in the recording's .meta file.

You need to change that line to change the recording name.

Great to hear.

It's possible to use AutoTimers while you're still using IceTV. You can try setting up some AutoTimers for new series instead of using IceTV, and see how you go with them. I personally don't like AutoTimers much, and I'm happy to keep paying my $8/month for IceTV's service, because I think it works ...

Thanks, Gully.

Open WebIf should work on your phone if the phone is using your home WiFi. It may not work if your phone is using VPN. It will not work when your phone is out of reach of your home WiFi, or your phone isn't configured to use your home Wifi, and the phone is using G3/G4/G5 mobile data. It may be poss...

Thanks for that. It will go into the next picon update. If there are significant changes (i.e. the update changes the picon setup) that may come sooner rather than later. Apologies for the slow reply, but I tested positive for COVID on 23 Dec and spent 2-10 Jan in hospital with COVID and pneumonia. ...

Logitech remote control ... see whether there is support for the BW V2 (seems unlikely if they got out of business). The V2 is supported by the Logitech Harmony configuration software. And Logitech hasn't gone out of business, it's just got out of the remote control business. I've recently had deal...

Thanks. Got it.

An online update is available with a new picon setup that contains the picon for the new NITV HD, and some picon updates for some regions.

Thanks to peteru for making it available.

prl

Peteru has created the upgrade package with the new picon setup. Install and enjoy

prl

I've committed the updates to add NITV HD to the picon setup. It will be available as an update package when peteru has built the packages. The update also includes new scan data for Brisbane, Canberra & Rockhampton, and updated, but not including the NITV updates scan data for Sydney and the NS...

Alternatively, perhaps someone might know when stock would become available..? No-one except Jai knows, and he hasn't said anything about the status of the Beyonwiz company for a long time. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Most Beyonwiz users on the forum who use universal remotes use Logitech Harmon...

I now don't actually need the scan data for Sydney or for the NSW Central Coast, I've been able to dig the information I need out of IceTV.

But if anyone posts that scan data, I'll use it.

prl

Thanks, got it. It also fits into the expected pattern for the NITV HD SID.

prl

Thanks, got it. And it helps confirm the 3n4 -> 3n9 pattern to convert NITV's SID to NITV HD's SID in most places.

prl

I'm just about ready to do a new picon setup that includes the new NITV HD. I haven't been able to find a colour NITV HD logo, but I have found a black & white one that I can mashup with the NITV logo to make a coloured NITV HD logo. It looks as though I can fake up the picon serviceref data for...

The marks are stored in a small binary file associated with the recording (the .cuts file), and it appears to have been messed up somehow.

If you can, just delete the two marks that have timestamps after the timestamp of the end of the recording (EOF), and any others that you don't want.

If you re-installed the Beyonwiz firmware from USB, then that will have reset all settings back to the factory defaults unless you restored saved settings after doing the re-install. OpenWebif doesn't have any separate settings (apart from options that control its display style). It just reflects wh...

the V2 rebooted this time from a HDD. It never boots from the HDD (a V2 can boot from the SD card, but the Beyonwiz firmware doesn't support that). It boots from internal flash memory. What happened is that when a Beyonwiz boots, it looks for disk (or disk-like) devices to mount. The first one that...

I still can't get into OpenWebIf because I can't find the used name & password isn't correct, and so far I can't find out where I kept it. You can disable OpenWebif from requiring a password by switching off PLUGIN>OpenWebif>Enable HTTP Authentication. It defaults to off, so it must have been t...

There should be more than 2 lines in the network settings if the network is correctly configured on your Beyonwiz. If you wired Ethernet (rather than WiFi) and use DHCP to configure the Beyonwiz's network, the network settings screen (MENU>Setup>Network>Network interface) should look something like ...

Thanks, Mike. Got it.

I don't have the same and the why might be due to old scan data (slipping past prl's autocorrect; it seems you last provided it in July 2021, which doesn't even have 9Life). I don't actually auto-generate missing 9Life picon data, but you're right that the most recent data I have for Gippsland is w...

NITV is set to start simulcasting in both SD and MPEG4 HD on 5 Dec. A rescan will be needed to see the new channel.

Has anyone come across a logo for NITV HD?

just that the logo the tv companies are using are accurate?

If the picons are up to date, the correct logos will be shown for channels in the infobar, the favourites list and in the EPG, in most parts of Australia.

It's a fairly small package, and there's not really any reason not to update it.

There is one official update available for 20211010, the latest channel picons.

i think I really do need a remote now, the T4 remote I have seems more comprehensive than the T3 one we have mentioned? The original T4 remote and the T3 remote you linked to have the same set of buttons, as far as I can see (comparing the remotes side-by-side). The T3 remote has a different button...

I'd be interested in this, too. Our Harmony 785 is becoming problematic, because its programming software doesn't work for me on current macOS versions, and Logitech has been unable to help me fix the problem.

Never mind about the network name part I found how to do that.

There's only one way, to do a full firmware install from USB.

In the "Current Firmware topic, correct links to download from are the ones under under the heading Alternative locations, while the beyonwiz.org domain is off-line: The links above that heading won't work. And, of course, download the appropriate file for your Beyonwiz T2. You need to hover ov...

is there an alternative to IceTV, which would enable me to remotely records programs via an app? No, not on Beyonwiz. i dont have IceTV in my plugin list on my T2, That should only happen if you deleted it.

All I can think of is that there's some sort of access error on .Trash, and/or on the directory where the Beyonwiz is trying to create it.

When it asks "Cannot move to trash / Do you really want to delete recording name ?", what happens if you select Yes? Does it do the delete, or do you just get another error popup (or other unexpected behaviour)? Where is the movie folder being shared from? Is it a Linux-based NAS, or a sha...

Prl is pondering whether there is a fix possible in S2F or if the bug is actually in the enigma2 code, which is unlikely to be updated. Now I know the cause I know how to stop causing a problem.

I do use an auto timer for the ABC News and 7:30 report to make sure that I get the right version each night. Is that likely to cause a problem?

Do you use AutoTimers? If so, have you changed/added any recently?

Unfortunately, it looks like you rebooted your Beyonwiz between when you got the error message and when you saved messages.txt, so the messages.txt file doesn't cover the time when the error occurred. The messages.txt file only covers the time from about 20:51 to just after 20:52 last night (28 Aug)...

prl

No, I don't think there is a way to do that. You could get the operation that you want by shutting down the PVR to remove the HDD, and then shutting it down again when you plug the HDD back in, but that's probably just as prone to "forgot to do it" as any other method.

prl

I can compare my timer list with the red panels in the EPG and they don't always agree. Some may come about by program changes but others I can't work out why the difference. I'm not sure what you mean by "don't always agree". Can you give some concrete examples? I can compare the red ent...

Some of the programs on the EPG show in the top right corner as a transparent circle. What is it there for? There are never any icons on the top right of entries in the graphical (default grid-based) EPG. The circles (and half-circles) at the bottom right indicate whether the whole of the item in t...

prl

some of the station names don't even say that a program is in HD. If anyone ever broadcasts 4k it will get even worse. You can see whether a channel is HD or not by pressing the OK button while in live TV. If the HD icon on the far top right of the infobar is lit, the channel is HD, if not, it's SD.

As for the favourite list I've got nearly all of that back and looking OK except for the fact that every time I turn on the machine I'm asked to select from the 3 choices it offers.

Do you have the external HDD connected to the U4's USB3 port or its USB2 port? Do the drives support USB3 or only USB3?
