tnx for that grahamlthompson. like every answer, easy when you know it, ha ha. how did i not see that? spot the brain cell, i guess.
anyway, appreciate the help received from you guys. much obliged. now i can use the usb feature to my hearts content!
The original Freetime (Freesat 2nd generation) spec, allowed individual makers to add additional capabilities (In this case Media Playback) in a seperate menu option with the makers name) within the standard User Interface.
As so far no other manufacturer has risen to the challenge, only Humax exists as a menu option. Knowing this is kind of the key as to where to look for the capability. For us early adaptors it took a little while to find the option once the auto usb drive attached notification timed out
.
Safely disconnecting a USB drive is another somewhat concealed option, to ensure write operations to a usb drive are completed.
Without the above info it’s very easy to overlook the option.
