    Need guidance on diagnostics - large spike in HDD temp never seen before

    Yep - all ok, spins up to max after about 1 minute and then spins back down again after about 1 minute after updating the setting again. So I'll assume it's a glitch! On a different point... -When ever you have a crash, if you acknowledged the crash message in Webif and then rebooted a couple...

    Need guidance on diagnostics - large spike in HDD temp never seen before

    Hi All, I got an alert a little while back (flashing red ring on the front) to say internal temp (HDD?) was too high. I checked it out , expecting a small rise over the threshold which on a hot day can occur but I found this. between 10 and 11pm the HDD temp reading "says" it went from 47 deg...

    How to secure Samba share access

    Whilst I'm trying to figure this out, I'm jus trying to edit some filenames via a mapped drive from windows 10 to My Music folder but it's telling me that i require permission from HUMAX\root to make changes. I've gone into the mnt/hd2/mod/etc/smb.conf and changed it so that the user (settop)...

    How to secure Samba share access

    Just wanted to check if there has been any further progress on this. I have infact moved on to the beta SMB package (3.6.25-1). I'd like to add an extra user. do I need to follow this comment about adding it into the passwd file: How do I add it into /etc/passwd. Through a normal text editor?

    run and log a regular speedtest

    it's a fibre cable to the premises, new little square box into the house, small white fibre cable going into the box - openreach came and installed. I can only hope I'll get 80/20 but erratic upload speed needs to be measured over a little while to see what it is really. Time will tell :)

    run and log a regular speedtest

    It is FTTP but I chose to go with the lower speed package. I will try the old laptop ubuntu route but that too is limited to 100Mbps network card - but I'm more interested in checking upload speed to be onest as it was that which was fluctuating.

    run and log a regular speedtest

    ok, so that sounds like it might be easier then to turn on my old laptop (running ubuntu (14) mate) and let that test the line over time. Thanks Rodp

    run and log a regular speedtest

    From 36Mb/s copper to 74Mb/s fibre (worked out cheaper after a bit of hagling!). The upload speed is double what I used to get but seems to be a little erratic and so I wanted to take some measurements over time to see how it varied.

    run and log a regular speedtest

    Hi all, Just changed my broadband package and would like to run and record some regular speedtests for a little while and wondered as my hdr is on most of the time, is there something that could do this on there already. I came across...

    Change expiration setting of auto backup of recording schedule / recovering older backup schedules

    Thanks All for your support on this - that's great, and thank you @prpr. I think we would have been waiting a long time for me to work it out and get it working https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/webif-feature-requests.10982/page-2#post-172252

    Change expiration setting of auto backup of recording schedule / recovering older backup schedules

    Well if people don't mind me breaking their humax then I'm game! ;) To be honest, I'll probably just look at the.Jim file in notepad ++ and change the expiration from 14 to 60 days as I wouldn't know where to start in terms of adding a new section to the webif settings page, nor creating an...

    Change expiration setting of auto backup of recording schedule / recovering older backup schedules

    It becomes useful when your kids mess around with the humax accidentally deleting scheduled items and I've been busy for a few weeks so not realised what's happened. :) So having a longer backup will help. Found the feature request thread and have added an item. It's odd as I wasn't aware of...

    Change expiration setting of auto backup of recording schedule / recovering older backup schedules

    I've looked around on the webif UI but can't find anything. Could this be made configurable in the future then? Is there a wish list thread somewhere on this community? :):thumbsup_:

    Change expiration setting of auto backup of recording schedule / recovering older backup schedules

    Hi All, I need to revert back to a recording schedule backup from about 2 months ago, but the normal list only goes back 14 days. I found them in /mnt/hd2/mod/var/backup but the list is the same as per what you see in the webif UI. How likely will it be to retrieve an older version using some...
