Ooer, that's the top of the top of the range. End of model clearance sale meant that we got it for a good discount off last years price. I had looked up the Harmony site and, like Peter, could not find clear reference the specific E subtype. That caused me to try searching for IR references with th...

Peripheral to the wiz issues, I know, but google is not being my friend :( and this forum has shown itself to have a wide range of knowledge. Just had to buy a new TV, 12 year old plasma died :( Got an LG OLED65E8PTA. Now that is all hooked up and happily talking to T4 I need to rejig my trusty harm...

Peter is correct. I started with a diskless arrangement and subsequently installed a drive. This has left me with unexpected configuration settings. However, the process does increase the knowledge and understanding :D Probably teaching me that it may have been less tedious (educational) to have gon...

Thanks,

Here is me hunting around through all the setup menus

Continuing with my U4 setup. When I attempted to create a backup for the U4 I encountered a spinning star and complaint that the target was not writeable and that I should select another location, followed shortly after by a backup done message. OK, so it looks like it is writing across the network....

Altimes

Definitely a problem if you have recordings running on both the U4 and T4 to the same folder with S2F running on both. This would appear to be the root cause. S2F is only on the T4. The U4 has /media/autofs/MovieBEYONWIZT4/ as the recording "movie location" with the instant and timer reco...

Altimes

Thanks for the comments. Hmmm, I will have to look at the config for S2F (T4 currently in use by SWMBO). I have just observed that the recording files (actively) being made by the U4 have been moved into a corresponding folder (S2F is setup with a trigger of 1 - ie always move to a folder). The fold...

Altimes

OK, so I've done another scheduled test recording with U4 coming out of shutdown and going into shutdown and the cuts file was written just fine and post padding was honoured .... go figure.

I am setting up to test a scheduled recording from standby.

For now, Scratch oddities #1 and #3

Alan.

Altimes

I've recently configured a U4 to use a T4 disk as its recording target (all using beta beyonwiz 17.5.20181104 (17.5-800-g3d9a605) firmware). Not that I anticipate much recording from the U4, but just doing some test recordings to be confident that the odd time that we want to record something from e...

Altimes

Thanks for the feedback. I've subsequently installed an old small SSD to support timeshift. Disabled the "use as hdd" option but left the recording target directory as the T4. Which has led to a couple more oddities that I will raise as a new discussion.

Altimes

Configuring a diskless U4 to use a T4 as its disk replacement. Are there any "gotcha" style things to look out for ? I've more or less got it all setup (all wired network) but have had a couple of unexpected crashes during initial setup. Subsequently updated to the beta stream. I have yet ...

For the first time I've experienced inability to connect to the T4 share from my Mac. Through rebooting and reseating cables for all the items along the chain it has come good but I am suspicious of a potential underlying problem and I am wondering what log files there are that I should review. Symp...

I recently used the T4 to access a Win 10 media streaming. Worked as expected with a small exception that duplicated folders are not accessed as expected. Through simplicity I had created three folders named T4Recordings on seperate physical drives. These had been added to the win10 video library. T...

I am having a bit of senior's moment here. Venerable P2 was upset by power being turned off recently. No big issue, it was showing a bunch of directories that were clearly named as "bits" of a program descriptions (eg directory name of "nd John will fin") . OK, corrupt directory,...

Altimes

I had noticed that hot spot, but had not noticed that it had an IC in it. I was thinking about the area around U44 and U45

Altimes

I had cause to lift the cover on my T4 recently and noticed some obvious hot spots on the PC board. Thermal paste looks OK, but the PC board looks a little stressed. From those who have had lots of experience of looking at these, Mark :), are these at the level of likely to need a little holiday in ...

OK, so I searched again..... It is table 81, page 68 from ETSI EN 300 468 V1.11.1 (2010-04) pdf document Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB systems https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/300400_300499/300468/01.11.01_60/en_300468v011101p.pdf A document ...

FWIW, whilst writing myself a metadata editor, I found this breakdown of the STYPE byte on the web *somewhere* (I usually embed to the URL :? ) and have it as a comment in my code......from its style and looks it is probably from one of the ETSI DVB documents. 0x00 reserved for future use 0x01 digit...

I'd like to look at possibly becoming involved. Just to convince myself that I might be able to, I think that I have managed to successfully run a build from the the GIT zip source download.

For me, the h265 decoder. The broadcasters will start using it eventually. I end up doing various family first line support in removing the current crop of h264 channels that older / cheaper tvs and pvrs cannot decode. That is, it gives you some potential future proofing......assuming h265 isn’t qui...

I don't know if it will help all that much, but have you had a look at createapscfiles.cc? Yes, that was my original starting point. Attempted to convert it into Swift with comprehendible notation on what what it was *really* doing, teasing apart the wonderfully obscure (efficient) C code. However,...

If you browse the files through the media list, the meta fields should be updated. Well spotted..... all good having browsed the directory on the Wiz. Just never noticed that in the past. The .sc file contains two 8-byte big-endian values: the first is file offset; the second is data, with the high...

Altimes

Yes, normal recordings via IceTV, and a few hours apart, so hard to see much of a pattern beyond a Tardis effect...

Altimes

More an anomaly than a bug. I encountered a couple of recordings today in which the duration and filesize fields of the *.meta file were both set to zero.... All other fields correctly populated and the rest of the files look OK. I would guess that the meta file is almost one of last bits that is wr...

Having just gone through the nbn transition, from adsl to hfc, relatively painlessly, my solution, to a similar issue, was to daisy chain my current router onto the Telstra one. My existing netgear adsl router has a WAN port, so I simply connected the Telstra LAN to the netgear WAN. No reconfiguring...

From a long running project of developing a cut list editor on Mac OS, one of the "issues" that I encountered is recordings that play fine in the T4 but cause the AV player on the Mac OS to choke (spinning beach ball of death). I eventually tracked down one of the causes to be a PCR reset ...

It may be completely irrelevant, however, one of the windows sharing traps from "the olden times" was that you had to ensure that both the ACL on the local disk AND the ACL on the SMB share were in agreement. Mismatches used to give rise to 'empty share' scenarios. The user had the rights ...

Knowing *absolutely* nothing of creating plugins.... Is the problem the storage of the state for the plugin or the size of the stored state ? If the memory footprint of the stored state is the concern (the reference to ~10000 ids), could a bit map be used to persist/check for a clash? If we look at ...

The news is the only item that I use the IceTV series qualifiers on. One per day only, at 7:00 pm only, only ABC. Suggested as an alternative to repeating timers.

Alan

Altimes

As Peter confirmed, there is no need to remove the timers (and, in the end, I did not). My (flawed) thinking was that a resend from IceTV would either, do nothing, since the timers were already present and unchanged from the original timer or end up being duplicated but with new padding settings. Si...

Altimes

As an FYI, the IceTV "resend all" did resolve the issue, with all the timers being updated with current padding, without duplicating them ( which was my concern).

Alan.

Altimes

Thanks, I was hoping for something like that. I'll wait for a quiet time and give it a whirl.

Alan.

Altimes

Is there a way of bulk removal of timers? Back story is that after the 16.1 firmware update, like everyone else I've been reconfiguring from scratch. I resent the ICETV timers and then later realised that I had forgotten to update the padding. I changed the padding and expected the timers to update ...

From working on a mac with wiz TS files, the one aspect that I keep tripping over and that may be related is that the pts values are commonly handled as uint64 values. Now this is fine but, the pts base gets randomly (?) reset, so the pts sequences run as, big number, bigger, bigger, very small, big...

Ian,

I've been continuing on my Mac (swift 3.0) cuts editor. In so doing, as an exercise, I have been adding the capacity to edit the supplementary files, I have recently developed a panel that decodes the fields from the .ts.meta file. I have noticed that the "tags" field is occasionally popul...

Altimes

If you have another screen (PC display?) that can do HDMI 1080p, then trying the T2 and various cables against that may provide more insight into what is going on.

In a similar situation, I simply rip the DVD to ISO. Then let the wiz play the ISO as a DVD. It is a little bit slow in menu navigation but less hassle that extracting all the discrete episodes etc. You do have to rename the ISO images to something human.. Just in case it hadn't been thought of as a...

Is there any way of reducing the power consumption of a T4 with WOL enabled ? Is this changed in anyway in the 16.1 code that I read about ? I made the mistake this morning of thinking, Oh, its a hot day, I'll just shutdown the T4 and give it a rest. I was surprised a couple of hours later to notice...

Altimes

Depending on your usage, you can always just use finder to mount the WIZ disk and then use VLC or Quicktime to play the TS files.

Altimes

No solution, but confirming that it not just you. T4 cannot see a MacBook (Sierra) "share" that a windows box can see. Incidentally neither can a P2 see it (so it is not just a T4 issue), the P2 can see other windows (SMB) shares on the local network. I have futzed around a bit and used sm...

There is a plugin to do the cutting Browse the plugins for one that relates to movie cutting. I went through the same learning process. Unlike the DP series, it is a two step process mark and then cut. The link below was my query along the same line http://beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&am...

For anyone who may be interested. I've been futzing with a program to do the cuts editing remotely on a Mac. Partly as an an excuse to learn some new stuff, like Swift, gitHub, Apple apps, .... partly so I spend less time standing in front of the TV remote in hand. Build yourself from sources at; ht...

Thanks for quick response. I thought that I had installed the formal release from USB which I expected to have switched me out of the beta stream.

Was / Is there an issue with the 2016-07-29 11:58 release in relation to online updates ? I'd just :oops: noticed references to an August release that I did not recall installing. I performed an online "check for updates now", it loaded a packages.gz and then popped up a "Nothing to u...

e.g to V6 or V7 Unix, you'd find that "ls" didn't have a '-R' flag at all. You are, of course, quite correct. A quick check of my "Unix Programmer's Manual Sixth Edition May 1975" green book, from my first encounter with UNIX, shows that then the only switches to the ls command ...
