InactiveHi
Firstly I wanted to say hi to everyone. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve enjoyed scouring through the forum whilst setting up my HDR T2 box – it’s been very helpful.
I changed from a Panasonic PVR as I found the media list very bulky looking, the interface clumsy and the lack of control limiting (I owned a Topfield before). I was hoping the Hummy, with custom firmware would be the answer.
Anyhow – I have installed the latest firmware for it, added packages like Sweeper etc. but still find the media list very big looking – I normally have to scroll through lots of pages to find what I am looking for. I have tried putting recordings into folders, but then the newer episodes still go at the top level unless I set Sweeper up (which I haven’t yet).
I got VERY excited when my Panasonic TV picked up the Hummy content via DLNA as I use the TV to stream from the WD My Book hard drive and the interface is clean. However I soon realised the TV doesn’t play the Hummy .ts files, even after setting up auto-decrypt.
This is very frustrating and I have spent hours scouring the internet to find an answer with no joy. I thought I’d found the answer with the Convert Files plug in but it only works for the Freesat box L
I would like to do it all on the box if possible (although I did play around with the All Case app last night to avoid the Hummy media list).
Has anyone else had any luck with this – or is it possible to change the listing format of the media list? Or is there an alternative Humax machine that will stream to a TV? Or would an alternative to Twonky, like Plex or Serviio, work better?
Apologies for all the questons.
Many thanks and all the best

If you are using single recording then the behaviour is as you describe; using series recording then programs should automatically go into the appropriate folder even with standard firmware.

You would do much better asking this question over at hummy.tv where discussion of the custom firmware is welcome.

InactiveApologies – will try over there.
Re. folders. If a folder is created by the system, with recordings in it, and then moved to another folder (to keep it tidy) – are new recordings added to the new folder location or is a new folder created at the top level? This would be series record.
Thanks

If you have a series recording set up and move the folder, the folder will be recreated in ‘My Video’ the next time an episode is recorded.
