Thank you Mr. Quade very helpful.

Hi
I have just changed my U4 from wifi connection to LAN using an ethernet cable and the Automatic Configuration of the DHCP which was turned off has now been turned on when I set the LAN up. Is this the correct setting or should I turn it off again?

Twizzle

And where would you get a replacement V2?

Twizzle

Yes NASA did a fine job & were very efficient to deal with.

Twizzle

Thank you Raj it gives hope to those who think they have no option. I had a T4 repaired by NASA and they are reasonably priced & efficient.

Twizzle

Thanks everyone. I have finally got subtitles.

Twizzle

See if you can get Handbrake to re-encode the video with an h.264 Format Profile of "main". Output as .mkv [/quote] Thanks Grumpy I'll try that. [/quote] I was able to re-encode with Handbrake but I couldn't find the tab that allowed me to choose "main" the file played ok on Beyo...

Yep, I'd say there you have it.
So can anything be done?

Thanks Grumpy. So can anything be done? Or failing that how can I make the subtitles play after I have converted the files to M4v.

sorry posted without quote

Is this any help Grumpy Geoff? AVC / 1920 x 1080 / 16:9 / 25.000 FPS / 8 bits / 6000kb/s / High@L4 / Progressive / Video

Twizzle

I can usually play MKV files on my U4 but I have one series of files that will not play. I can convert them using Handbrake to M4V files and they will play ok but the subtitles do not appear (and they are essential) the files are named (????) 1080p RTE WebDl aac h264.mkv I have resorted to sticking ...

Yes very welcome. From my own perspective, all in all Beyonwiz are very good machines with the odd problem. The help given on this site is most welcome.

Twizzle

Great suggestion. Just in case.

Twizzle

I've only got email nasaelectronics2017@gmail.com

When they fixed my T4 about 15 months ago did a good job.

Twizzle

Thanks for that prl. It's good to know the update went through ok.

I agree the previous back display was perhaps designed for teenage boys but at least it had a bit of colour and wasn't boring.

Twizzle

I have just updated to 19.3_20211010 for my U4 all seems ok and I can get all the TV channels & all the radio stations. Most of the time my U4 is set on ABC Classic and (as with all radio stations on the U4) there used to be a default image on the back screen but now all that comes up is the Bey...

Twizzle

Very pleased to hear it.

Twizzle

Thanks

Twizzle

Thanks that's great, I'll leave it as it is.

Twizzle

If I were to delete the Enigma log file to start afresh would the U4 automatically create a new one? I'd imagine it would but just want to be sure.

By the way still no reboots and all is well.

Twizzle

Thanks everyone. The problem would appear to be solved after the update. No reboots at all yesterday at any time after the update. Very happy.

Twizzle

Enigma2 terminating with error code 137 most often means that the system has run out of available memory. Do you use AutoTimers? Well I've got only got 6. However given that Grumpy Geoff has said rebooting with Error Code 137 was a known problem with older Firmware and now that I've updated, I'm ho...

There was an issue with U4s randomly rebooting on older firmware (due to a memory leak I think). The enigma2 exit codes from file "enigma2_execution.log" in /home/root/logs may give a clue, particularly if the exit code is 137 (from memory). Thanks to your wonderful instructions Grumpy Ge...

Thanks I'll give that a go tomorrow & get back.

Thanks for replying Mr. Quade and everyone else. Where do I find the \var\log\messages ?

Please. If it's not too much trouble could you tell me where I could find the link to download the zip file preparatory to updating.

I have attached Beyonwiz details.

Twizzle

It is running at 51 degrees.

Twizzle

The only problem I have with the U4 is that it randomly re-boots (strangely between approx 5 pm & 7.30pm) if one is using after that it remains stable and doesn’t re-boot. My question is this, is there any chance that an Update could possibly fix the random re-booting, my gut feeling is no but ...

Twizzle

I have not updated my U4 for a few years now. As most of my requirements are fulfilled by downloading programmes straight to the U4 (I would only record ABC 7pm news and one or 2 other programmes per week) I find that everything works fine and on the theory of “If it aint broke don’t fix it” I have ...

Twizzle

Yes Mr. Quade they were.

Twizzle

Thanks. Seems extremely complicated. I think I'll live with the files as they are and watch them on the PC rather than the U4. Don't know why the U4 plays them as horizontal when they appear correctly as perpendicular on the PC

Twizzle

Hi

I have 2 mp4 videos which if I play them on the PC play in the normal way but I have sent them to my U4 and when I play them there, they are rotated so that the horizontal becomes perpendicular. Any ideas please?

Twizzle

Thanks for answering prl. In my network the downstairs U4 is recognised as Movie (\\BEYONWIZU4) (Y:) and when I had removed the 2.5 inch drive but still had the Toshiba external 2tb drive connected, the Toshiba could still be accessed to watch or record stuff but the U4 could not find the network. I...

Twizzle

I have just done a Filecheck and at first all the files were there & I was able to a) view files and b) view files without the re-booting. Now all of sudden it doesn't recognize the Disk and is saying I should Format it & lose every thing. Help please. Have I lost these files or can I get th...

The NASA was from the original question before I suspected what the real problem was. Thanks to you & prl. I'll try the HDD repair instructions.

Twizzle

A few weeks ago I asked a question about my 2 U4s “I have 2 U4s one of which is used only twice a week at most and is hard switched off for the rest of the time & has had very little use. My main U4 has developed a re-booting problem (sometimes in the middle of watching a recording), I have put...

Twizzle

Thank you everyone for all the help. I've swapped the 2 HDDs and all is well, At this stage I am going to adopt a wait & see approach on the upstairs (rarely used) U4, if it starts to play up, I'll send it off to NASA and put my T4 upstairs till it returns

Twizzle

Thanks so much prl, I've safely removed the drive & will put into the rarely used U4. I don't imagine that my re-booting problems are in any way to do with the main U4s HDD. By the way when I opened the main U4 the fan was absolutely covered in dust, I've cleaned it off, could the dust have been...

Twizzle

Don't worry I've seen it on Utube.

Twizzle

Actually I've got the problem U4 apart does it just ease out of the grey metal frame or do I need to undo the 5 screws? Seems very firm.

Twizzle

That sounds a great idea and they are networked. The recordings on the little used U4 are very few and I can easily send them to the frequent U4 and then swap the HDDs. I'll then send the frequent U4 off for repair and install a spare T4 upstairs where the little used T4 was. Thank you Grumpy Geoff.

Twizzle

I have 2 U4s one of which is used only twice a week at most and is hard switched off for the rest of the time & has had very little use. My main U4 has developed a re-booting problem (sometimes in the middle of watching a recording), I have put 'feet' on each edge of main U4 to aid air flow but ...

Twizzle

Perhaps it might but I have the assistance of The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro, placed under the middle of the U4. So far so good.

Twizzle

Over the last little while during hot weather my U4 will just self re-boot, only happens on hot afternoons. Yesterday whilst looking through settings I came across Fan Speed and I've cranked it up to Max. So far so good. Stupid question but can I presume that keeping it at max is not harmful?
