01.05.350 Bug List and Wish List - DP-H1 specific

[prl]

This post summarises DP-H1 specific bugs and suggestions as they come in. Bugs and suggestions that relate to both the DP-H1 and other Beyonwiz models should go in the DP-P2, FV-L1, DP-Lite, DP-S1 and DP-P1 forum. I will try to link to the original report posts, any confirmations and any reports of different behaviour relating to the report; reports of fixes will be linked to.

Bugs Fixed:

1(c) Pressing Stop no longer crashes the DP-H1. Improvement rather than a complete fix.


Bugs:

1. Recording/playback issues:
(a) If a timer starts while there is a current recording started using instant recording, the meaning of the options in the "Duplicated timer resolving" popup is unclear (OK button for "Stop"; Exit button for "Cancel Live"). "Stop" appears to be intended to be "Cancel Timer Recording" and "Cancel Live" appears to be intended to be "Cancel Instant Recording". The implementation of the "Stop" option is clearly faulty. Report. Confirmed.
The highlighting of the timers in the popup doesn't work correctly. When you select a new timer with UP/DOWN, the new timer is highlighted, but the old one remains highlighted, too.
(b) Playback of media files does not work reliably on a normal USB HDD if there is also a registered recording USB HDD attached. Lengthy discussion and confirmation. Summary of problem.
(c) When two timers are set for consecutive programs on different services, the recording conflict window appears at the beginning of the second timer's pre-padding. Independent of whether the user chooses OK/Stop or EXIT/Cancel live, or allows the poput to time out, the earlier recording is stopped, and the second recording starts. The popup times out after one minute. The behaviour of the popup is the same no matter which of the two timer information entries is selected in the popup.
The highlighting of the timers in the popup doesn't work correctly. When you select a new timer with UP/DOWN, the new timer is highlighted, but the old one remains highlighted, too.

2. User Interface Issues:
(a) If there is no USB HDD registered on the DP-H1, Popup>Timer List causes a "No HDD" error, but the error message is hidden behind the Timer List.
(b) If there is no USB HDD registered for recording on the DP-H1, GUIDE REC does not give any "No HDD" warning, in contrast to Popup>Timer List, Add Timer -- see 2(a).
(c) If a timer is set, and when it fires there is no HDD registered for recording on the DP-H1, there is no warning.
(d) After the timer start time has passed, and there is no HDD registered for recording on the DP-H1, powering off brings up the "This operation stops timer recording(s). Continue? Later/Yes/No", even though there isn't a recording running, because there can't be one running, since there's no HDD. This is inconsistent with the fact that in these circumstances, Popup>Recording information shows no current recordings (which is correct). This behaviour continues even after the timer end time has finished. The warning goes away if the DP-H1 is rebooted.
(e) When a Once timer has completed, it isn't removed from the timer list, even on reboot, if there is no HDD registered for recording on the DP-H1.
(f) Registered USB HDD usage indicators in Recording Information and FilePlayer work correctly, but the usage indicator in the front panel VFD does not.
(g) If there are two recordings being made (from the same broadcast channel), and REC is pressed while viewing a service on the same channel that isn't being recorded, the warning text is incorrect. It starts "services are already being recorded" instead of "Two services are already being recorded", and the text of the message overlaps the selection box that chooses the recording to stop.

3. Copy / move issues:
(a) There are still bugs with copy and move on the DP-H1 (Recording USB = USB drive registered for recording; USB = USB drive formatted by Beyonwiz, but not registered for recording):
........Recording USB -> USB: Works for very short recordings. The copy hangs after transferring about 80MB on longer recordings, even though with short recordings it can transfer more that 80MB.
........USB -> Recording USB: Same as Recording USB -> USB
........USB -> Network share: Copy starts, but the progress bar freezes after a short time. The copy continues to the end, but at the end an error popup flashes up on the screen 2-3sec displayed, 2-3 seconds not displayed: "Access Error. Temporarily not Accessible". No indication of what is not accessible. H1 does not respond to EXIT, Power, etc. Must be shut off at the mains. Recording is copied correctly
........Network share -> USB: As for USB -> Network share.

4. System issues:
(a) SETUP>System>Initialize>Check USB HDD does not list an attached (non-registered) USB HDD after it has been formatted with Format USB HDD. Report (2nd paragraph). (It may not list the drive at all)
(b) When SETUP>System>Initialize>Register USB HDD is run and it needs to reformat the HDD, rather than just flagging the drive as registered, running Check USB HDD will progress 80-90% through its progress bar, and then hang. Powering off at the wall is required to get out of the hang. Initial report and discussion. Confirmation, more details, and some suggested workarounds.

Enhancement requests fulfilled:




Enhancement requests:

1. Recording/playback enhancements:
(a) The ability to register a partition as the recording drive, rather than the whole hard drive.
