Hi All
I’ve finally managed to copy TV programmes to USB (FAT32) and play then with VLC. The problem is there is no file info other than the title so for a TV series I don’t know which part is which. Can anyone tell me what I’ve missed?
thanks, joe
Each programme has 3 or more files containing additional programme information and position information. The one containing the data you are interested in has the extension .hmt.
VLC will not know what a .hmt is.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll try to match the .hmt to the video file,
best, joe
Easiest way to get the programme info on a PC is to use the Custom Firmware Web Interface. You can copy and paste the info.
The .hmt has the same name as the recording .ts file just has a different file extention.
If you know how to read a file you can extract the data from the .hmt.
File format can be found here
Hi
thanks for the help though reading the file info will be a learning curve for me.
Though VLC seems to support .ts files they don’t play for me. Could you suggest the simplest way to play the videos (on my PC) I have transferred?
thanks again, joe

SplashLite from myrillis should play back .ts files.
Try dragging a .ts file from windows explorer to a open Windows Media Player window.
Download and install Mediainfo and open one of the files.
If you select treeview and export the file information to a text file to see what you actually have. Post the text in a post.
Hi Graham
thanks, I followed the process yet when I exported the text file (carefully choosing the destination)it was not to found anywhere in the MediaInfo folder. I repeated this with the same (non) result,

You most likely forgot to click OK. I normally save them to the desktop.
Thanks Graham

Hi again
I find Miriliss Splash Lite plays some files but can’t open others. My process for transferring from the Humax is identical…
The one I sent you (text details of) will not play,

The ones that don’t play aren’t by any chance HD recordings are they ?
The details of the video and audio contents are what we need to see. Does medianinfo open all of them ?
You should have something like this example (A 1080p50 Video file from my dslr)
