Installed Raydons media server on HDR no problems. Also I installed Twonky Manager on pc but for some reason the HDR does not appear in he list of devices.
Did you install the Twonky server on the HDR ?

I’m just trying Web scheduling… It seems to think I only have one feed!
I don’t know if it got screwed up by me not restarting the HDR in time for the first scheduled timer, but this appears on the Web interface but not on the actual schedule timers list (on the HDR).
I’ve now managed to schedule a second timer (and restarting in time so it successfully appears on the HDR) but the interface still thinks I only have one feed! (I’ve just tested two instant recordings on different muxes, and appear to have two feeds!)
You need to tell the web interface that you have two feeds. Go to the ‘Settings’ page and set “No. of Satellite Feeds” to two.

Cheers for that raydon. I thought that was the idea but could not get the web page to load, so had to do it my way. Will try pointing a browser to it again…
Glad to help, let me know how you get on….

Once flashed, remove the FOXSAT_HDR_upgrade.hdf file from the USB stick and put the telnet_10_mips.opk. Then repeat the flashing routine – this loads up the telnet program, so that you can telnet to the box and install further programs – such as FTP and SSH.
Make sure you set up your network settings in the Menus using the remote on the HDR, before attempting to telnet to the box or perform program update/installs…
Do not repeat the flashing routine as per the firmware install. Once the custom firmware is installed you simply plug in the USB stick containing the telnet_1.0_mips.opk with the box fully powered up to install it (allow a couple of minutes before unplugging). However there is no need even for this step. Check you have an internet connection from the HDR by running BBC iPlayer. If this works then point your PC’s web browser to http://192.168.0.8 (substituting the IP address of your own HDR). You can find out what this is by looking at the HDR’s menu in Network Settings. Once you have access the HDR’s web interface you can install everything you need from the online repository.

many thanks raydon. enough said.
Your welcome, only sorry that the mods didn’t meet your expectations. And if it’s any help, when flashing from USB the standby button to keep depressed is the one on the box, not the remote control. A lot of users have made this simple mistake.

I want to watch programmes stored on my pc, through my foxsat hdr on the plasma that its currently connected to. i thought the only way i could do this is by upgrading my firmware to the latest .hdf 4.0.4 do i not need this software then to watch programmes over my network or do i?.i’m a little confused being new to this.thanks for any clarity on this
Sorry, but you can’t use the modified firmware to watch programmes stored on your PC from your Foxsat HDR. It only works the other way round i.e. It enables you to watch the SD recordings stored on your Foxsat HDR from a network connected PC. In other words the Foxsat HDR is the server and the PC is the client. A PC can be set up as a server, but it is not possible for the Foxsat HDR to be configured as a client. As to USB problems when flashing firmware, there are countless posts, both here, and on other forums relating to this issue and how to resolve it.
Hi welly, I’ve been in touch with af123, the author of the custom firmware package for the HDR Fox T2 regarding your problem. He has replied with the following
Quote:192.0.2.100 is the address that is assigned to the ethernet interface before it has been initialised, (IIRC wlan0 gets 192.0.2.101 initially)The /sbin/modinit script always puts the address of eth0 into the hosts file and therefore doesn’t work properly with a wireless dongle. I’ll come up with a fix for that!
Thanks for letting me know.
So there you have it. Look out for the bugfix release on hummy.tv 😉
regards
raydon

OK result of ifconfig :-
second line of o/p
wlan0 inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast: 192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0.
Are you by any chance connecting your T2 to the network after powering it up ? If so try connecting it to the network before powering up.
Just realised you are connected to network using a wireless dongle. Would you mind posting the whole of the output from the “ifconfig” command

Hi, hanks Martin
result of cat /tmp/hosts
127.0.0.1 local host
192.0.2.100 humax (so we have the “mystery” IP address).
Does this explain anything?
Ian
Hmm, very strange. The IP address in the dynamic “hosts” file is parsed from information outputted by the “ifconfig” command.
If you enter “ifconfig” from a telnet session this will display a list of information about the ethernet port “eth0”. The assigned IP address will be in the second line.

Interestingly drive is shown as Media on
“Samba HDR-Fox-T2(192.168.1.3)” so should I have used Samba HDR-Fox-T2? Anyway using the IP address seems to work fine.
many thanks, Ian
No, that’s just the samba server ID string. The netbios name is derived from the hostname and a “hosts” file is created dynamically on each bootup. You can display the contents of this file by entering “cat /tmp/hosts” from telnet. Sounds like the dns is not being resolved if you can’t use the hostname. Try “ping humax” from telnet on the box itself, then again from a command line on your PC. Both should work.

Hi folks,
When I try to map a network drive I keep getting a error message
“network path \HUMAXMedia” could not be found. I am trying to connect pc running Windows XP SP3 with the pc set up in a workgroup named WORKGROUP. The only readme notes on the use of Samba I came across seemed to be in Raydons media+file server bundle for the FoxsatHDR but I’m not sure how relevant they are to the HD-Fox-T2. Any one else having problems with Samba or any ideas what I am doing wrong – or not doing right?
thanks, Ian
From telnet enter the command “hostname” to determine the hostname of your box. If it says “humax” then map a drive to “\humaxMedia”. You can also use the IP address instead of the hostname when mapping a drive “\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxMedia”
