Wow! I have managed to get the time to install Raydon’s modified firmware for the FOXSAT-HDR – and it is absolutely amazing!
I shall be blogging or creating a wiki page on this, but in the meantime, I starting this thread to discuss how wonderful it has made my FOXSAT-HDR – bring it back to live again!
The media bundle can be downloaded from Raydon’s Download page here: http://myhumax.org/blog/?page_id=166
Installing is simply upgrading the firmware via the USB stick method, and then installing the applications afterward in the same way.
I just installed one application – the Twonky DLNA server – and then ran XMBC on my Mac laptop to connect to the FOXSAT-HDR and added it as a source for video and letting it discover the files and folders on there. I then selected a recording to playback and it just simply worked!
I can also playback HD (enc) recordings! WOW!
Thanks Raydon! Keep up the good work – and please could you hack the HDR-FOX T2 so we can install a DLNA server to do the same?

I think so… I played back a recording on BBC One HD (briefly) – are you saying this doesn’t work? (I’ve not kept track of the thread on AVForums…)

BBC1 HD is presently unencrypted
But, for how long?Ah, I see… (Although with recordings the Enc icon shows for BBC One HD
: )But I also had a quick playback of the buffer 0.ts and that played OK and I was watching the football on ITV1 HD – is this channel encrypted? (It could be that the buffer is not encrypted…)
Confirmed – buffer not encrypted.
So, we can’t playback encrypted HD recordings…
So we just need a script to clear the buffer at the start of an enc HD recording, change channel to HD recording channel, copy buffer when recording ends…
@Raydon, can you make an install package for perl? (Also need cron, and a way of accessing the schedules…)
Actually, why can’t we just write our own recording scheduler?

You can, and you should! Why do I have to do all the hard work ?
The custom HDR firmware is configured in such a way, as to allow users to add their own applications, complete with auto-install/uninstallers. swedish cook has done just that, and released a housekeeping utility for HDR recordings.
Hi, I’m new here and new to modding my Foxsat HDR. I have used other means for streaming media for several years and have been happy. I have always believed my HDR could do more due to its hardware that seams to be unused in its factory state.
I have read some things that have now made me want to tinker with the said device.
Can anyone tell me if I install this software can I actually browse content from my media server from my HDR or am I misunderstanding the point?
I appreciate that browsing content on the HDR from a network can be done.
Thanks in advance.

The simple answer is you can’t. The HDR will only ‘see’ content that is in the correct format and which has the two additional sidecar files required for playback. However, if you use AV2HDR to create video in the correct format, and if you can connect your media server directly to one of the HDR’s USB ports you should be able to browse and playback the content in that way. You don’t need to install any modded firmware to do this.
I was going to blog instructions to install raydon’s media & file bundle, but someone’s already done it. So why repeat the work when I can just post a link

I’ve just installed the telnet package from this media bundle and I am getting a double command line:
Code:~ $ ls
bin etc lib mnt proc sbin sys usr
dev home media opt root share tmp var
~ $
~ $ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.12-4.2-brcmstb (ohs@vanilla) (gcc version 3.4.6) #1 Wed Dec 8 10:20:47 KST 2010
~ $
~ $Does anyone know why? (Is this how it behaves?) I am using putty as the client app. Is dropbear-ssh available for the FOXSAT-HDR?

Try looking in the installers folder of the package

Doh! Probably was looking the other way or for ‘ssh’! 😳
Could you have a go at producing a perl package? I wouldn’t mind having a go at writing such a script as af123’s dedup for the FOXSAT-HDR… One thing that niggles me is the question whether I have to manipulate the hmt file – replacing the filename string with the new name. I don’t think dedup on the HDR-FOX T2 does this… and that it should do..?
I’ve just connected my Xbox360 to the FOXSAT-HDR running Twonky and although it sees the HDR, none of the recordings shows up. Does any know if the 360 supports .ts media files, and if not, how to get it to?
