Guys, topic, please
Did I miss your appointment as a moderator?
It’s called hijacking the thread. It is neither polite, nor helpful.
It is called a discussion going off at a tangent which sometimes is interesting, sometimes not. It happens on most forums. It is in my opinion for the moderators to make the calls about what is acceptable; not members with a low post count.
Fair enough I shall wait until I approach your exalted level of posts before politely asking people to stay on topic in future
You have a nice day Mr Liddle

So the number of my posts affects my ability to have an opinion? Are you really saying your opinion means much more because of your number of posts?
On topic – have you experienced any issues with encryption not being removed, when transferring SD files from the FVP-4000p, Martin?

This USB stick has an led and it’s flashing so fingers crossed something is being transferred
I really wish it had a progress bar
I’ll get back to you if & when it finishes
–EDIT–
OMG it’s actually transferred a short programme
bolstered by this success I’m trying the 3+ hour one I’ll let you know how it goes
For info the stick is formatted as FAT32
Well glory be, hallelujah.
The transfer to the USB stopped around 7pm so the transfer is about the same speed as actually watching the programme.
looked at the USB stick on my PC and there are 4 folders & a file
Folders are
.cache
.recordings
.recycleBin
.umma
File is empty & called
.mountchk
The transferred files are in .recordings
You get the .hjm, .hjtsm, .nts & .ts files however the .ts file will play in media player so it’s not encrypted.
Not sure what the .hjm, .hjtsm & .nts files do but I don’t need them to play
The 3+ hour recording plays happily though the last few seconds of the file had an issue when I tried to FF to them, so I shoved the file through videoredo & did a quickstream fix which seems to have solved the problem, there’s as much of the programme transferred as plays on the TV so I’m happy it all transferred.
So I don’t know what’s going on with Mr Bitterman’s recordings, sorry
And I’m still no wiser as to why the files wouldn’t transfer to the other USB stick, which is also FAT32 & has over 24Gb free
Maybe it’s because there are files & folders on it which aren’t video files
I’ve had no real success copying files to USB. Though I’ve ever only tried drives that already have files on.
I will have to wipe one clean and try again. Thanks Esme, might make things a little easier. Fingers crossed.

I have invested vast amounts of time in helping people on this forum and several other forums on various subjects. I think that qualifies me to have an opinion on how things should be conducted. What exactly have you contributed?

None whatsoever.

Guys, topic, please
Totally agree.
Some of the posts in response to the OP request are very disappointing.
Stay on topic please.

Seems to be similar to the other Humax boxes though the sidecar files have slightly different names.
Basically other boxes
.ts is the transport stream file with mpeg2 576i video and mp2 stereo audio.
.hmt has the programme information like programme synopsys, channel, recording dates and times. It also has various data flags that determine how the recording is treated. eg number of permitted copies etc.
.nts has data controlling programme pause rewind resume functions. playback of the .ts without this may have limited playback control functions.
Thanks Esme, I will try again.
Just to be clear did you simply select Copy when on the programme in the recordings section on the FVP with a USB inserted to perform the transfer?
Just a quick note: Copying recordings using the Humax Media app on android is extremely painless and quite speedy.
It took 14 minutes to copy the 3-10 to Yuma film, which came in at 2.7gb and the encoding has been stripped. Is that much quicker than copying to USB?

Thanks for the info but unfortunately I have an Amazon Fire HD, the Humax apps aren’t available for it.
I had one last go, powered the FVP off completely started up and tried again. Around 2 hours later (as esme stated approx same runtime as the film) the copy finished. Going to the Media player part of the FVP and selecting the Copy it played but showed a run time of 5hrs 5mins when it was only just over 2 hours. None of the search functions would work on it.
Trying it on the PC with VLC and the whole recording is actually there but the time bar is completely screwy.

I think that if you run the recording through a video converter, that should clean up the time bar issue. I’ve not had that specific issue on the Humax yet though, so can’t guarantee that would fix it – but that has fixed similar issues with video before.
I know it’s probably a lot of effort to go to just to transfer videos, but: it is possible to run an android OS on a current PC, by installing the “VirtualBox” software and then android OS within that. This doesn’t affect your current Operating system.
Sorry if you already knew that.

Hi, yes
I inserted a USB stick, 16Gb, fat32 format, newly formatted in the side port but I’m fairly sure it would work in either
I cancelled the pop up to scan it for files with the “X”
I looked at the recordings, found one I wanted, hit “+” and selected copy
The FVP popped up the USB icon I hit OK and it started copying
Some considerable time later it finished so I ejected the USB from the media menu & loaded it on the PC
The FVP is on the latest downloadable release of firmware if that’s a help
Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I think either my FVP is dodgy or the Firmware.
