This is the flag which prevents the file from being decrypted in the same way as a Standard Definition file. On first installation, the hard disk will be scanned for any High Definition recordings and they will be unprotected. Thereafter, new recordings will have the flag removed as they are completed. See reset_unprotect [[Diagnostic_Utilities | '''HERE''']] to fix any 'missed files'. |
+ | |||
+ | Auto, Auto-Unprotect makes a change to the DLNA index so that High Definition files can be streamed without DTCP, Note, Foxy does not remove DTCP which is required for DLNA decryption | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTES:- | ||
+ | *Auto-Unprotect does not decrypt the file, however it does make decryption possible by the same means as for a Standard Definition file - see flow chart [[Encryption |'''HERE''']]. | ||

After the recording is decrypted in a folder that is marked for auto-decyption, the utility will look for a zero length NTS file and if found the NTS, THM and HMT files will all be deleted (or moved to the [Deleted] folder), this will make the TS file playable on the Humax,however as the 'sidecar' files have been removed there will be some play-back | |

− | + | ==Chaseget== | |
− | + | Retrieve and decrypt recording, can run whilst recording is still in progress | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | This is intended to be used as part of other packages (such as detectads) rather than installed and used standalone | |

− | + | Usage= /mod/bin/chaseget recording.ts start_offset logfile > output.ts | |
− | == | + | ==CIFS== |
− | + | The Common Internet File System. The cifs package provides the Humax with the ability to remotely access files shared from PCs using Windows file sharing. This package adds the support to the running system but mounting remote file systems must currently be performed from the command line. Example :- | |
− | = | + | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> mkdir /media/NAS </span> |

− | == | + | ==CLI== |
− | + | This is an acronym for Command Line Interface, a CLI can be established by Telnetting into the Humax and being presented with a CLI prompt, If the Tmenu is displayed there will be a 'cli' option to gain the CLI prompt e.g. humax# | |
− | |||
− | + | ==Content Sharing== | |
− | + | Menu >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings >> Content Sharing = On | |
− | + | Content Sharing is an in-built DLNA / UPnP server that allows the HDR to stream content over it's LAN connector to a DNLA / UPnP client, this feature is also used by the Custom Firmware to provide decryption of both Standard Definition and High Definition content | |

− | == | + | ==Crash Log== |
− | + | The Mulitenv 1.4 package contains a procedure that monitors the behaviour of running processes, If the Humax crashes a file will be generated under /mod/tmp/ called crash.log, it can be examined from Web-If >> Diagnostics >> View Log Files. The Crash log will tell you if Custom Firmware plug-ins are being disabled as a result of the crash, To re-start undelete, redring and ir packages, run Web-If >> Diagnostics >> fix-flash-packages >> Run Diagnostic. To prevent the crash log auto disabling plug-ins, create a file with the following command :- | |
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/no_plugin_autodisable | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
− | == | + | ==Cron== |
− | + | Cron is a time-based job scheduler that will auto-run tasks for you. It is built into Busybox which is a standard utility on your Humax, so Cron does not need to be installed. The tasks are held in a Cron table or crontab. Here is an example crontab :- | |
− | |||
− | + | <pre> | |
+ | humax# cd /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ | ||
+ | humax# cat root | ||
+ | 0 2 * * * /mod/sbin/anacron -s -d | ||
+ | 1,31 * * * * /mod/sbin/unencrypt "/mnt/hd2/My Video/archive" > /mod/tmp/unencrypt.log 2>&1 | ||
+ | */10 * * * * /mod/sbin/rs_process >> /mod/tmp/rs.log 2>&1 | ||
+ | humax# | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
− | + | Each line of crontab has the following structure: | |
− | + | <Minute> <Hour> <Day> <Month> <Day of Week> <Command line> Note :- * = All or Every | |
+ | The three examples above will run | ||
+ | #at 2AM every day | ||
+ | #at 1 Minute and 31 Minutes of every Hour every day | ||
+ | #every 10 Minutes continuously | ||
− | + | It is possible to display all cron jobs with the following command line:- | |
− | + | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> crontab -l </span> | |
+ | To add a new cron job edit file /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root and add a new line | ||

− | |||
− | + | ==Cryptokey== | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | This is the unique key that is used by the Humax HDR / HD to encrypt and decrypt all recordings on the hard disk, it is made up from the MAC address of the unit (6 pairs of hexadecimal) followed by the first 10 digits of the unit's serial number (also in hexadecimal) | |
− | + | The cryptokey can be examined, changed and reset (Cleared) to the original by sending the following [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Nugget | '''nugget''']] command line options :- | |

+ | [[File:Webif-media-ded2.png|right|150px]] | ||
+ | The dedup package adds a command line utility which can consolidate recordings within a single folder so that duplicates are removed and the remaining episodes are renamed so that the episode name and number (if available) are displayed in the Media Browser. | ||
− | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> | + | Note:- There is a 'built-in' version of Dedup in the [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Web_IF | '''Web-If ''']] that effectively replaces the command line package. However if the dedup package is installed it is possible to perform the following Telnet commands from the folder you have navigated to:- |
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> dedup </span> <span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HIDE </span>lists the recordings there and shows what they would be renamed to | ||

+ | |||
+ | *Renames the files on disk to match the episode name | ||
+ | *Changes the title shown in the media list to match the episode name | ||
+ | *Identifies duplicate episodes and moves them to a sub-folder called dup/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Dedup (Series Helper File)== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is possible to create a series helper file that Dedup can use to enhance the re-naming of series, the file should be placed in the directory containing the series and named series.info, Dedup will look for this file and automatically use it, an example of a series.info file is shown below :- | ||

+ | ==DeRMA== | ||
− | + | After a Web-If >> Diagnostics >> Set-Return-to-manufacturer (RMA) Mode operation has been carried out, standard Humax software should be re-installed, this should leave the Humax in an 'out-of-the-box' state, however if for any reason the 'RMA' message is still being displayed, then loading this package onto a USB stick and inserting it into the Humax, while it is running, will remove the RMA message | |

− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | This package will attempt to add bookmarks to a recording to indicate the start and end of advert breaks, so that the adverts can be removed with a crop function, cropping can optionally be performed automatically within the package, | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
+ | Using the new 'Detect while recording' function the detection process runs in parallel with the actual recording so the processing completes within a few seconds of the recording finishing. You can even, with some limitations, start to watch your program adfree whilst it is still recording. | ||
− | + | See [[DetectAds]] for more information about this package | |
− | + | ==Disable DSO== | |
− | + | Disable automatic retuning in response to Digital-Switch-Over events. When the Humax carries out a retune all recording Schedule events and all Favourites Lists will be erased, however recorded programmes will not be erased. DSO events are sent to the Humax by the TV broadcasters when they need to change some aspect of the Electronic Programme Guide, such as changing a channel number or adding extra channels | |
+ | ==Disable OTA== | ||
− | + | Disable OTA inhibits any Over The Air software updates transmitted by Humax by deleting OTA schedules created by the Humax, it also has a "Create Reminder to cover OTA Period = Y / N" option in the Settings page, this will create a reminder on the Red Button (channel 200) to cover the OTA period, if you want it to use a different channel or on / off time, you can edit the reminder using the standard Humax on-TV menus, you can also disable the reminder option completely, however if this is done there is a small possibility that an OTA search may still be actioned on your Humax | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
+ | '''Note''' The OTA service for software updates is no longer in operation | ||
− | == | + | ==Display== |
− | + | A command that can be used to display a message on the HDR-Fox T2 front panel, any alpha-numerics (Max 12 characters) can be displayed, scrolling is not available. The new message will be displayed until the unit is rebooted or changed by the Humax, example :- | |
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> /sbin/display 'Twelve Chars' </span> | ||
− | + | The display can be blanked with :- | |
− | + | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> /sbin/display ' ' </span> | |
+ | The display of the HD-Fox T2 (Max 4 characters + colon) can also be used by adding '$' to the string e.g. :- | ||
− | = | + | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> /sbin/display '$he:lp' </span> |
+ | '''NOTE''' If the Humax updates the display e.g. after a channel change or is scrolling the display then your message will be removed | ||
− | + | ==DLNA-Filter== | |
− | + | Filters out DLNA server network traffic to prevent other DLNA servers from crashing the Humax. File /mod/etc/init.d/S02dlna-filter contains rule="-p tcp --dport 50001 -j DROP". From default the package works on all IP addresses, however in Web-If >> Settings >> Settings for DLNA-Filter package, it is possible to restrict operation to one or more specified IP addresses | |
+ | '''NOTES''' | ||
+ | *DLNA-Filter requires Custom Firmware Version 3.00 or later | ||
+ | *DLNA-Filter will block access to the Humax DLNA server if the Settings for DLNA-Filter package is left blank | ||
− | |||
− | + | ==DLNA-Servername== | |
− | + | This package enables Humaxs on the same network to be given a unique Media Server Name. It requires that Custom Version 2.20 or above be installed | |
− | |||
− | + | ==Dropbear SSH== | |
− | + | A secure shell (ssh) server for the Humax. This package provides remote command line access over an encrypted session and is a secure alternative to using Telnet | |
+ | to gain command line access - although it causes the box to do more work. Also allows the use of ''scp'' (secure copy) as a secure alternative to FTP. | ||
− | + | Login with username=root, password=humax | |

This is enough to trigger the Humax software to keep the EPG up to date when the Humax is on 24/7, (it has no advantage when the unit has a daily on/standby cycle). | ||
− | + | You need at least a single service on an alternative mux. to the one the box is tuned to for it to work. Changing to a different service on the same mux. was found not to work reliably enough. | |
− | + | There is no user interface, no settings and nothing to configure. The only thing you can change is the time of operation if it is not suitable! | |

− | + | [[File:exfat-panel.png|right]] | |
+ | '''Note that this package does not add exFAT support to your system, only provides a simple method for you to do it yourself.''' This is because there are licence and patent issues around exFAT and if we were to make the compiled exFAT code available in the repository then we would be in violation of at least some of them. | ||
+ | The package provides a web page (accessible from the standard web interface settings screen) from which you can download, build and install the required files in a single step. It will: | ||
− | + | *Download an open-source exFAT implementation from Google Code; | |
+ | *Unpack and modify the code to support the Humax; | ||
+ | *Compile the files into binaries which can run on the Humax; | ||
+ | *Install the compiled binaries on your system; | ||
+ | *Add hooks to automatically mount exFAT disks when they are detected. | ||

+ | *65% - when the temperature drops to 54°C | ||
+ | *55% - when the temperature drops to 51°C | ||
+ | *0% - when the temperature drops to 49°C | ||
− | + | This utility allows the user to set a minimum continuous fan speed between 0% and 100%, By setting a minimum fan speed higher than zero it is possible to prevent the fan reaching the noisier 70% setting. If the Humax requests a higher speed setting, this higher speed will be used | |
− | + | '''Notes''' | |
− | + | *After an initial Humax restart, this package can change the minimum fan speed on-the-fly every two minutes | |
+ | *The fanspeed (0 - 255) is stored in the /mod/boot/fanspeed file | ||
+ | *Changes made by this package will be displayed in the /tmp/humaxtv.log file, if Diagnostics >> debugtv >> Run Diagnostic has been run | ||

+ | ==Ffmpeg== | ||
− | |||
− | + | FFmpeg will record, convert, extract and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec - the leading audio/video codec library. It also displays information about video and audio files. See Link [http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html '''HERE'''] | |
+ | NOTE:- Ffmpeg operations performed on the Humax can be very demanding on CPU time, especially when performing conversions rather than extractions. The following examples were carried out using a version of Ffmpeg running on a P.C.rather than on the Humax. | ||
− | + | Convert an extracted MP3 audio file in MP2 format to the more common MP3:- | |
− | + | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> ffmpeg -i input.ts -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192000 -f mp3 output.mp3</span> | |

− | |||
− | + | ==Fix-disk== | |
+ | Fix-Disk is a disk partition repair utility (built into Custom Firmware Ver 2.12 and above) for the Humax HDR-Fox T2. It does a full file system check, repairing minor faults automatically as it goes. It will also allow you to fix the delete loop problem. A fix-disk.log file will be generated in /mod/tmp/ and can be viewed using Web-If >> Diagnostics >> View Log Files | ||
− | + | To invoke the Fix-Disk utility follow the Maintenance Mode Guide [[Maintenance_Mode | '''HERE''']] | |
− | |||
− | == | + | ==Fix-disk (USB)== |
− | + | As fix-disk is now built into Custom Firmware 2.12 and is therefore already resident on your hard drive, the USB version is no longer recommended or supported. However it is still available [[http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/44898524/file.html '''HERE''']]. | |
+ | ==Fix Flash Packages == | ||
− | + | If previously installed fix-flash-packages will re-install :- boot-settings, crashdiag, dbupdate, disable-dso, disable-ota, dlna-servername, ir, fan, fix-disk, multienv, multimode, newk, nugget, opkg-beta, poweron-channel, redring, rsvsync, tmenu, tunefix, tweak, undelete, virtual-disk2, webif, webshell | |
− | + | ==Flatten== | |
+ | This feature changes how recorded programs are displayed on screen in the 'Media - My Video' menu. Series of programs are normally grouped into a sub-folder. Flatten will move the contents of sub-folders to the main 'Top' folder and remove empty sub-folders. After installing flatten the Web-If will have an option under OPT+ which lets you toggle directories between flatten and no-flatten. | ||
− | + | '''NOTES''' | |
+ | #All directories will default to have flatten turned on unless they are changed | ||
+ | #Flatten runs every 15 Minutes when the box is not in standby | ||
− | + | '''Exceptions''' | |
+ | * Folders marked as no flatten using the OPT+ option will not be flattened | ||
+ | * Folders whose names are bounded by square brackets e.g. [NOT THIS ONE] will not be flattened | ||
+ | * Folders containing a file called .noflatten will not be flattened (Note:- Create this file Via Telnet) | ||
− | |||
− | + | ==Flatview== | |
+ | FlatView is an alternative to flatten, it provides both a flattened view and a hierarchical view at the same time by creating a new top-level directory (called " [FlatView]" by default). Recordings appear in both without using any additional disk space | ||
− | + | '''NOTES''' | |
− | + | *Recordings deleted from the flattened view area are automatically removed from the original location in the hierarchy and the original folder will be removed if it is empty; | |
+ | *Recordings deleted from the hierarchical view will be automatically removed from the flattened area too; | ||
+ | *If a recording is renamed in either area, then the change will be reflected in the other (there may be a small delay); | ||
+ | *Changes in flags such as 'Unwatched' and the resume point are synchronised across the two locations; | ||
+ | *If you move a recording out of the flattened view area, the system will think that it has been deleted and will remove the corresponding recording from the hierarchical view area; | ||
+ | *If you move a recording into the flattened view area, it will be left untouched | ||
+ | *Command line option = /mod/webif/plugin/flatview/run | ||
− | + | '''Exceptions''' | |
− | + | *The contents of folders marked as no flatten using the OPT+ option will not appear in [Flatview] | |
+ | *The contents of folders with names in square brackets [Like This] will not appear in [Flatview] | ||
+ | *The contents of folders containing a file named .noflatten will not appear in [Flatview] | ||
+ | ==Flexget== | ||
− | + | FlexGet is a multi-purpose automation tool for content like torrents, nzbs, pod-casts, comics, series, movies, etc. It can use different kinds of sources like RSS-feeds, html pages, csv files, search engines and there are even plugins for sites that do not provide any kind of useful feeds. | |
− | + | A Typical Cron entry for Flexget would be :- | |

− | + | ==FTP== | |
− | + | File Transfer Protocol is a method of transferring files to and from your Humax. The Humax HDR-Fox T2 has a built-in FTP server for access to the media folders only. See the [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Betaftpd |'''Betaftpd package''' ]] for access to the full Humax file structure or to add an FTP server to the HD-Fox T2. To use FTP on a P.C. a program that handles FTP is required. Internet Explorer and Windows (file) Explorer will allow FTP access by entering ftp://10.0.0.200 into the address bar, although access may be restricted to media folders only, even when using the Betaftpd package. If access to the whole file structure is required, programs like Filezilla or WS_FTP_Pro can be used. | |
− | + | Notes :- | |
+ | * To use the Built-In Humax FTP server MENU >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings >> FTP Server = ON | ||
+ | * When using Betaftpd MENU >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings >> FTP Server = OFF | ||
+ | * 10.0.0.200 needs to be replaced with your own Humax IP address | ||
+ | * login = humaxftp | ||
+ | * password = 0000 (your Remote Pin default). If the remote password has been changed from 0000 then the new password must be used | ||

− | + | ==Network Shares Automount== | |
− | + | Automatic mounting of remote nfs or smb directories, with configuration on the box, using special "settings" directories to add and configure shares. Remote host(s) are "pinged" regularly, and shares are mounting / unmounting automatically with host availability | |
− | |||
− | + | Folders on a computer or NAS box can be shared with other devices on the same network. On the Humax box with custom firmware we can add support for two protocols - smb (used by Windows, pre-Lion OsX, linux running Samba), and nfs (Linux, OsX, common with NAS boxes). smb support is provided by the cifs package. We can "mount" the remote shared folder(s) so they appear as if they were part of the local file system on the Humax | |
− | + | This packages uses directory names in the "*Modsettings/smb" and/or "*Modsettings/nfs" folders to configure as many shares as you like. For example to set up a new smb share, use the opt+ button to create a new directory within the smb folder. Name it what you want the mount to be called (eg "MyPc") Wait about 10 seconds, and navigate into the new folder. The script should have created a load of template "configuration directories" for you to rename (host IP address, foldername, user, password etc). | |
− | |||
− | + | '''Notes''' | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
+ | #The "_" symbol is used instead of "." in IP names and "/" in folder names as these can't be input (or if they can I think the box changes them to a "_") | ||
+ | #Once configured, the script will regularly ping the host computer to see if it is available. If it is then the shared folder will be mounted and should be browsable. If the host goes offline, the folder will be unmounted, preventing the box from locking up. | ||
+ | #Wake up On LAN (WOL) is available to automatically power up compatible (newer) NAS boxes, The user must supply the MAC address of the NAS box and set wakeNow? to remove the '?' for a single wake or wakeConstantly? to remove the '?' to repeat every few seconds. A script called wakecmd in mod/sbin is now called up that contains both ether-wake and the WOL script | ||
+ | #If option ShareFolder = off, the mount will appear in the USB section and either a real USB device or virtual2 must be installed | ||
+ | #If option ShareFolder = on, the mount will appear under 'My Video' | ||

− | |||
− | + | To safely remove the [Shares] DO NOT DELETE folder :- | |
+ | #Delete the configuration file created in [ModSettings]/NFS or [Modsettings]/SMB | ||
+ | #reboot the Humax | ||
+ | #Ensure there are no active shares in the [Shares] folder | ||

− | == | + | ==Recmon== |
− | + | Utility for executing another process whenever a recording starts or finishes | |
− | + | Recmon runs every script in /mod/etc/recmon.d in response to events. The order that they are run in is not guaranteed (they actually run in parallel). | |
+ | The commands are run with two arguments, a switch saying which event triggered this and the base name of the recording file (no extension). | ||
− | + | e.g. | |
− | + | /mod/etc/recmon.d/test -start "/media/My Video/path/to/recording" | |
− | + | Flags are -start, -stop, -move and -delete. Usually -move is called twice, once for the source location and once for the destination. | |
− | |||
− | + | Examples | |
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | /mod/etc/recmon.d/auto-unprotect -start "/media/My Video/The Resident_20150520_0007" | ||
+ | /mod/etc/recmon.d/auto-unprotect -stop "/media/My Video/The Resident_20150520_0007" | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | ==Rc app bridge== | ||
− | + | Utility that enables the Humax HDR-Fox T2 to be controlled by the TV Remote App. (supplied by Humax) that runs on the I-Phone, the same App. is also available on the Android platform, however version HMARG 1.0.4 does not appear to work with this package | |
− | + | '''Notes''' | |
+ | * This package requires Content Share to be enabled | ||
− | |||
− | + | ==Real Time Scheduling (RTS)== | |
− | + | When the Custom Firmware was developed, Scheduled events created in the Web-If or Via Remote Scheduling were placed into a pending queue and only moved into the main schedule on the next boot or reboot, In Web-If version 1.3.2-1 and later, it is possible to automatically progress from the 'Pending' stage directly to a fully scheduled stage without the Humax having to perform a boot cycle. This option can be enabled / disabled with the :- Settings >> Advanced Settings >> Real Time Scheduling Yes / No option | |
− | |||
− | == | + | ==Redring == |
− | Web-If | + | Causes the Humax to display a Red LED ring when recording in standby, plus various other front panel options detailed in the table below. The new settings are configurable using the Web-If >> Settings >> Redring Settings |

− | + | ==Renumber== | |
+ | [[File:renumber.png|200px|thumb|right]] | ||
+ | Channel re-numbering support, for each channel that you wish to change, enter a new number into the box and save changes. Next time you reboot your Humax, the channel numbers will change around. If you ever rescan the channels on your box then the next time you reboot they will be automatically changed to match your saved preference. Once installed, a new option will be shown in the Web Interface Settings screen, probably near the bottom. | ||
+ | Renumbering channels is useful for people who want to swap the high-definitions services with their standard-definition counterparts, e.g. swap BBC ONE for BBC ONE HD putting BBC ONE HD on channel 1, and can also be used to re-order channels (e.g. move BBC HD to channel 8) to be closer to the start of the EPG. Of course another way to achieve this is to use the standard favourites feature in the Humax software to define your own list of channels and order them to suit. | ||
− | + | '''Notes''' | |
− | + | *The renumber settings appears under the "reorder" section of the settings page on the Web-If | |
+ | *The [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Tunefix | '''Tune Fix''']] package has replaced the Renumber package | ||
+ | ==Reset Webif== | ||
− | + | Reset Webif will clear out all of the custom firmware packages and files without affecting your recordings or scheduled recordings. It is designed to be executable by booting from a Flash USB device loaded with the Reset Webif utility and is useful when the 'Web-If >> Diagnostics >> Remove All Custom Firmware packages and settings' is not available, Wait for the light to stop flashing then remove the disk and reboot the Humax (using the remote control). If you point a web browser at the Humax then you'll be back at the initial installation interface. | |

+ | epg Distributed EPG management. | ||
− | + | </pre> | |
− | + | ==rs time== | |
+ | Command line utility that returns a number in seconds, that indicates the time offset between your Humax unit and the Remote Servers time | ||
− | |||
− | + | ==RMA== | |
+ | The Return to MAnufacturer Web-If option under [[Diagnostic_Utilities |'''Diagnostics''']] removes Custom Firmware files from the internal hard disk drive of the HDR Fox T2, following an RMA the user should re-install a version of official Humax Software to complete the 'Out of the Box' status of the Humax | ||
− | ==Zeroconf== | + | '''Notes''' |
+ | * After running the procedure, 'RMA' will be displayed in the front panel display, this message should be removed after the official Humax Software is installed, however if the message is still present, it is possible to remove it by running the [[#DeRMA | '''DeRMA''']] USB package | ||
+ | * More options for removing the Custom Firmware are detailed in the [[Remove_Modified_Firmware | '''Remove Modified Firmware''']] page | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==Rsvsync== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Boot-time reservation sync service | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Rsync== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool, example :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> rsync -avr --progress --delete --exclude 'Tsr/' mnt/hd2/ root@synology ip::NetBackup </span> | ||
+ | |||
+ | This [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Cron|'''cronjob''']] example would run at 01:05 each day, keeping the internal and external disks in sync - you just need to ensure the box is on at that time via a reminder or other mechanism. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> 5 1 * * * /mod/bin/rsync --archive --delete-after --log-file=/mod/tmp/rsync.log /media/My\ Video/ /media/drive1/Video/ </span> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Custom Firmware and Humax setup can be copied from an existing Humax to a new Humax by installing the rsync and dropbear packages on both units and then entering Maintenance Mode on the new Humax and sending the following two command lines :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> rsync -avr <ip address of old humax>:/var/lib/humaxtv/ /var/lib/humaxtv/ </span> | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==rt3070== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This package was a replacement wireless driver which allowed for a wider range of wireless dongle vendor types, it was removed from the packages list because version 1.0 is not compatible with the latest 1.03.XX versions of Custom firmware | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Safe Mode== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Safe Mode is a package loaded onto the Humax via USB in the same way as a software upgrade, it temporarily switches off most Custom Firmware components (apart from a small web server that allows you to get back out of safe more when you want), there is a package called enablesafemode.spk to turn this feature on and another called disablesafemode.spk to turn it back off, they are available frrom the [[Firmware_Downloads | '''Firmware Download page''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Note''' if you have altered the encryption keys on your humax that any recordings made in safe mode will be made using the standard encryption and won't be, automatically, viewable when you return to normal mode. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Samba== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Windows compatible file sharing. Allows access to the Humax file system from a computer on the same network. The file system is shared using Windows compatible sharing so can be access from Windows, MacOSX and most other operating systems. Samba operates using 'Server Message Block' (SMB), also known as Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols | ||
+ | |||
+ | To map a network drive in windows :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | #Click Start, click My Network Places, click Entire Network, and then double-click Microsoft Windows Network. | ||
+ | #Double-click the domain that you want to open. | ||
+ | #Double-click the computer that has the shared resource you want to map. All the shared resources for that computer automatically appear in the window. | ||
+ | #Right-click the shared drive or folder that you want to map, and then click Map Network Drive. | ||
+ | #Click the drive letter that you want to use, and then specify whether you want to reconnect every time that you log on to your computer. | ||
+ | #Note Network drives are mapped by using letters starting from the letter Z. This is the default drive letter for the first mapped drive you create. However, you can select another letter if you want to use a letter other than Z. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Drive sizes can be incorrectly reported, to avoid this set path = /media/My Video in the /mod/etc/smb.conf file | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Tips''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | #Ensure Samba is enabled in Web-If >> Service Management | ||
+ | #If the Windows 'WORKGROUP' has been changed from default, edit file /mod/etc/smb.conf to match the new name | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Schedchk== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Check scheduled recordings against EPG and reschedule, if possible, entries that don't match the EPG | ||
+ | |||
+ | See the [[Schedchk|user guide]] for further details | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Scons== | ||
+ | |||
+ | SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a next-generation build tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to build software | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Screensaver== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you pause live TV for more than 3 Mins. you will see the current time displayed on the TV screen, This is a screensaver and is designed to prevent ‘burn-in’ on flat panel TVs. The digits are made up of a series of pictures that are stored on the Humax in this read only area :- /opt/share/images/blue/821-4, It is possible to change these pictures to remove the screensaver completely (Black) or use a different font. After a new screensaver package is loaded, it will automatically become the new screensaver, you can select from installed screensaver plug-ins using the Web-If >> Settings screen | ||
+ | |||
+ | When screensaver is first installed only ‘Humax default’ is present, this is the 'flip Clock' default screensaver, If Black is installed then a completely Blank screen will be displayed. All screensaver plug-ins can be installed separately from the Web-If, e.g. the first screensaver Plug-in shown below is called screensaver-3X5, here is a list of plug-ins available :- | ||

+ | |||
+ | This utility will re-locate series folders created at the top level of My Video to Selected Sub-Directories so that they can be grouped together. After a New series folder has been created by the Humax at the top level, Simply move this series folder to a Sub-directory that you have created e.g. move the Doctor Who series folder to a sub-folder called ‘His Video’. When the next instalment of Doctor Who is transmitted the Humax will create another Doctor Who folder at the top level again, However, If Series Files is running the new instalment will be moved to the ‘His Video / Doctor Who’ automatically. Program names will also be re-named (if possible) to give more detail of each episode | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''NOTE:-''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The early versions of Series Filer were not compatible with the Undelete package because the [deleted] directory was not handled correctly. Please DO-NOT run Series Filer versions before 0.2.2 with any version of the Undelete package, version 0.2.2 and above are safe to use | ||

+ | ==SQLite3== | ||
+ | |||
+ | SQlite is a database file handler, e.g. files that typically end in *.db can be opened, edited etc. With readline support (arrow key editing and history) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==SRT== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Humax is able to play subtitles for MP4 and AVI files if the subtitle information is contained in an *.srt file, the following conditions must be met :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | *The srt file must have the same title as the video file e.g. Fawlty-Towers-S1E3.srt for Fawlty-Towers-S1E3.avi | ||
+ | *The .srt file needs to be saved as a text file specifically with ANSI encoding to avoid using fonts that are licensed | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Notes''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1) Windows Notepad will produce a ANSI encoded srt file | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2) Saving the .srt file with UTF-7 encoding is reported to be more compatible with the Humax | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3)A method for extracting SRT files from a Humax *.TS file has been documented on the Hummy.tv forum [http://hummy.tv/forum/threads/quick-guide-to-extract-dvb-subtitles-from-ts-hd-file-and-convert-to-srt-in-minutes.6625/ '''HERE'''] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==SSMTP== | ||
+ | |||
+ | SSMTP is a program to deliver an E-mail from your Humax to a mail host or mail hub, It will not handle incoming E-Mail | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Status== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A Command line (Telnet) command that shows what the Humax is (and will be) doing, e.g. :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | humax# status | ||
+ | Recording Pretty Woman_20121201_2310 | ||
+ | Watching 12: Dave - Would I Lie to You? (23:00 - 23:40) [7%] | ||
+ | Will record 'The Omen' on Film4 at 23:15 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | Note :- The same information is also displayed automatically on several Web-If screens e.g. The Main Screen and the Remote screen | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Strace== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Strace (System Trace) is a diagnostic, debugging and instructional userspace utility for Linux. It is used to monitor interactions between processes and the Linux kernel, which include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Stripts== | ||
+ | This utility removes portions of a recording (*.TS File) that aren't required and can account for up to 20% of its space, this process will remove freeview EIT packets from the recording, it also updates the associated .nts sidecar file on the fly so that the trick play functions still work on the resulting recording | ||

+ | Humax TS Stripper Tool v1.4.2, by af123, 2012-18. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Syntax: stripts [options] <input> [output] | ||
+ | -a Analyse an input file. | ||
+ | -A Quickly analyse an input file. | ||
+ | -c Check if there are any EIT packets. | ||
+ | -C Show address of first EIT packet. | ||
+ | -D Dump NTS file. | ||
+ | -E Check if file is encrypted. | ||
+ | -f Also fix PAT packets. | ||
+ | -F Only fix PAT packets. | ||
+ | -T Dump TS file. | ||
+ | -v Verbose. | ||
+ | -X Add bookmarks at programme start/end. | ||
+ | -Z Extract EPG data from recording (incomplete). | ||
+ | -z Analyse entire TS file. | ||
+ | -@ <key> Decrypt recording with <key>. | ||
+ | -/ <key> Check encryption key against recording. (* See NOTE Below) | ||
+ | -d [level] Increase debug level or set debug level. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * NOTE :- This option has been reported to return "Incorrect" when using the correct key in the Windows version | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> stripts -F filename</span> <span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HI </span>= Fix file | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> stripts -f filename</span> <span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HI </span>= remove redundant EIT packets | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> stripts -v filename</span> <span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HI </span>= Verbose | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> stripts -S filename</span> <span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HI </span>= demux the raw audio stream into a file-name.audio file | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''NOTE''' | ||
+ | Version 1.4.0 and above of strips also has a file decryption facility, this facility works on both Standard Definition and High Definition recordings and does not require Hi-Def recordings to have the 'ENC' flag removed with the Auto-Unprotect package, it does not require a DLNA URL to be allocated or the DLNA server to be running on the Humax, here is an example of a command line decryption using Stripts :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | stripts -@@ <input> <output> | ||
+ | |||
+ | stripts -@ 000378bd11f336333731303434393630 "input file name" "output file name" | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1) In the first example above -@@ automatically inserts the resident Humax encryption key, (When the process is run on the original Humax recorder) | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2) The Second example above is used when the decryption is being carried out on a different Humax unit (or on a computer), the original unit's encryption key must be entered, e.g :- for a MAC address of 00-03-78-bd-11-f3 and a serial number of 6371044960-1234, enter 000378bd11f3 followed by the first 10 digits of the serial number in hexidecimal e.g. 36333731303434393630 (adding a '3' before each digit from the serial number) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here is a key compiled from the info. on the Humax label (Bottom panel) :- | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | "input file name" and "output file name" are full *.ts file names, up to, but not including the .ts (Quotes are required for name with spaces) | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are versions of stripts that can perform offline decryption on various computer platforms including :- Linux, MacOSX and Windows etc., (NOTE :- The Windows version also requires cygwin1.dll) [https://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Customised_Firmware_-_Features_Available#Miscellaneous_Software_Utilities '''See Link HERE'''] | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Telnet Commands== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The majority of Unix / Linux command line keywords can be used on the Humax, if you are not familiar with them, there are a few of the more basic commands and their meanings here :- | ||
+ | *<span style="background:#FFFF00"> cd </span> = change directory, used to navigate around the file structure | ||
+ | *<span style="background:#FFFF00"> cd "/media/My Video" </span> = navigate to the top level of My Video | ||
+ | *<span style="background:#FFFF00"> pwd </span> = print working directory, tells you where you are in the file structure | ||
+ | *<span style="background:#FFFF00"> ls -al </span> = list contents of the current directory | ||
+ | *<span style="background:#FFFF00"> touch "/media/My Video/dummy.ts" </span> = create an empty file called dummy.ts in the My Video directory | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Tempmon== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This package checks the HDD temperature every three minutes and will raise a warning if a configurable thresholds is exceeded, the warning is displayed on the HDR-Fox T2's front panel and the centre 'button' flashes. The Setting >> Tempmon page shows the current Hard Disk temperature and has defaults as follows :- Alert If = 50, Attempt to go into standby if = 60 and Immediate power off If = 70 Deg C | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Note''' If the Fan package is not installed the normal Humax routine will turn the fan on at 56 Deg C, so it is suggested that 'Alert If' should be set to 60 Deg C and the other two parameters are set to 65 and 70 Deg C | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Text Editors== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is a built-in GUI Text editor in the Web-If (details [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#File Editor |'''HERE''']]). In addition to this editor, There is a basic version of [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Vi |'''Vi''']] built into the custom [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#BusyBox |'''Busybox''']] package (not in the Busybox version included in the vendor's firmware). There are also several packages that can be installed to suit your editing preferences e.g. [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Vim_Basic |'''Vim Basic''']], [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Vim_Standard | '''Vim Standard''']], [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Joe | '''Joe''']] and [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Nano | '''Nano''']]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you've only installed the basic custom firmware (using the upgrade path with USB), then there's | ||
+ | [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Sed | '''sed''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Tmenu== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This built-in package adds a menu to the Telnet Login screen Menu | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==Tnftp== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Humax HDR has a built-in FTP Server for transfer of files from Humax to a remote client and an improved FTP Server called [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Betaftpd|'''Betaftpd''']] to replace it in the HDR, and to add it to the HD, the Tnftp package provides an FTP Client for file transfer from a remote FTP server to the Humax | ||
+ | |||
+ | tnftp is a port of the NetBSD FTP client. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Transmission (Bit Torrent)== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Transmission program will download files from the internet using the a torrent protocol, Downloads using this system are usually fed from multiple sites at the same time in parallel, Because of this many URL’s may be used in the download process, These URLs are packaged together into a single *.torrent file, Transmission re-constructs fragments of the file/s from these various URLs into their original format. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Transmission needs to be supplied with the *.Torrent file, it does not have a Torrent file search facility, one possible torrent source is torrentz.eu, download your selected *.Torrent file to the P.C. you run the Web-iF from | ||
+ | |||
+ | For command line access enter :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> transmission-remote </span> | ||
+ | |||
+ | /mod/etc/transmission/settings.json contains settings such as default = speed-limit mode, this can be changed to fast downloading etc. settings info. [https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles '''HERE'''] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | *Go into service control and start Transmission | ||
+ | *Set it to auto start if you want it to come on whenever the box is on | ||
+ | *Go to the Web-If main menu and click the transmission icon at the bottom left | ||
+ | *Select 'Open' (the folder at the top left) | ||
+ | *Select browse in the window and highlight the previously downloaded *.torrent file | ||
+ | *When highlighted select 'Open' | ||
+ | *Select 'Upload' | ||
+ | *If the 'Start when added' box is checked the download will start immediately | ||
+ | * A new directory will be created at /media/ My Video/torrent/ containing successful downloads | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Blocklist=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The torrent system is a 'two-way' process which can allow other users to access your downloaded files, this access can cause a security risk and it is suggested that a block list is set up to prevent this, the Block list contains a set of IP address's not allowed access. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To create or add to a blocklist go to Transmission >> Preferences (Bottom left 'Spanner') >> Peers >> Blocklist and Enable Blocklist, then go to a block list site such as http://www.iblocklist.com/lists.php and copy an Update URL e.g. http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz from there to the Block list URL box and click on Update, This process can be repeated to build up bigger lists | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is also possible to place *.txt files containing blocklists into the /mod/etc/transmission/blocklists folder, these files must be smaller than 5Mbs, They will be processed by the Transmission program when first run and *.bin files will be created in the same folder, if the files are successfully processed an indication of the number of ‘Blocked’ URL will be displayed e.g. Block List Has 598940 Rules | ||

+ | *When the block lists are initially being converted into *.bin files, transmission uses an excessive amount of CPU time, this could cause errors in recording, so it is suggested that this is done when the Humax is idle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Transportx== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This package provides some additional functionality to the 'transport' controls. | ||
+ | A reboot will be required after installation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When this package is installed the following changes are made to the transport controls: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first press of the pause button will pause as before but subsequent presses will each advance by one frame. Use the play button to resume normal playback. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | After the slow (trick mode) button is pressed, slow mode is activated, the Rewind and FFwd buttons will then slow it down or speed it up respectively. To change direction first pause and then select a direction using Rewind/FFwd (it will then start moving at the slowest speed). Repeated presses of these buttons will speed up/slow down still further. Press Play to resume normal operation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Slow button: x1/2 fwd | ||
+ | *Rew button: x1/4 fwd | ||
+ | *Rew button: x1/8 fwd | ||
+ | *Rew button: x1/16 fwd [Further presses of the rewind button will not change the speed or direction] | ||
+ | *Pause button: pause | ||
+ | *Rew button: x1/16 rew | ||
+ | *Rew button: x1/4 rew | ||
+ | *Rew button: x1 rew | ||
+ | | ||
+ | If the FFwd button is pressed instead then the above sequence is reversed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Known bugs: | ||
+ | |||
+ | When playing a remote recording via a dlna network connecton, a frame advance occurs only on alternate presses of the pause button. | ||
+ | The onscreen display of speed/direction will be incorrect when using the slow modes - this is very unlikely to be fixable. | ||
+ | Slow reverse tends to skip frames when viewing HiDef content and some low bandwidth StdDef content. This may be due to hardware limitations | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Trm== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Trm is a version of the Unix rm command (ReMove), This version removes files in blocks using Truncate (hence Truncate ReMove) rather than all at once, In order to reduce demand on system resources | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==TSTools== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A set of tools for manipulating TS files, they include :- | ||
+ | [[File:Tstools.jpg|left|400px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==TTYSnoop== | ||
+ | |||
+ | TTYSnoop allows you to snoop on login tty's through another tty-device or pseudo-tty. The snoop-tty becomes a 'clone' of the original tty, redirecting both input and output from/to it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Tunefix== | ||
+ | [[File:tunefix.png|right]] | ||
+ | Tunefix restores a user's settings after a retune has been run, the 5 Keywords are :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | *'''REGION''' to be used (channels from other regions will be removed) | ||
+ | *'''LCN''' (s) by number and/or range will be removed | ||
+ | *'''NAME''' services by name will be removed | ||
+ | *'''MUX''' (s) (all channels from these MUXs will be removed) | ||
+ | *'''FORCE''' named services to the correct LCN | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Note''' Multiple Regions, LCNs, MUXs are separated by commas | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Tunefix Update== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Automatic channel deletion and fixing after a retune. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==TV Diary== | ||
+ | |||
+ | tvdiary is an add-on to the web interface. It tracks the TV programs you record and watch, and presents a diary view through the web interface, See Full Guide[[ TV_Diary | '''HERE''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Uinput== | ||
+ | |||
+ | User-space input kernel module | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Unencrypt== | ||
+ | |||
+ | New Note:- This package is no longer supported, with the addition to the Web-If of [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Enable_Auto-Dedup|'''auto-decrypt''']] and [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Enable_Recursive_Auto-Decrypt|'''recursive auto-decrypt''']] these new functions are recommended in place of Unencrypt due to them being more robust and having more sanity checks | ||
+ | |||
+ | The function will unencrypt all files in a designated directory (or all files in My Video) automatically, Files are decrypted at the same location e.g. 'decrypt in place' and are processed at the rate of one file every 30 Mins. max. so don't expect instant results | ||
+ | |||
+ | To setup Unencrypt install the package and then via [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Telnet|'''Telnet''']] enter one of the lines below :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> unencryptsetup "Bob's Videos" </span><span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HIDE </span>process a single directory | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> unencryptsetup </span><span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HIDE </span>process all files in 'My Video' | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> unencryptsetup disable</span><span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HIDE </span>Turn off unencrypt | ||
+ | |||
+ | This will update the cron table and schedule the program to run every 30 minutes (at Mins 01 and 31) indefinitely. Every time it runs, it will check that there isn't already another job running and then decrypt the first encrypted file that it finds in the directory you specified, therefore gradually working its way through your files, If you don't specify a directory, it will default to decrypting all of your recordings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTES:- | ||
+ | *<span style="color:#ff0000"> '''Due to CPU overloading this feature only works between 1AM and 6AM the Humax must be out of standby during this time using an Auto On / Auto off timer''' </span> | ||
+ | |||
+ | *It is possible to change when Unencrypt runs by editing the cron job that controls it, Via the Web-If goto Diagnostics >> File Editor >> Open >> /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ and replace 1-6 with a * to force an Unecrypt start every 30 Mins. that the Humax is out of stand-by | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | 1,31 * * * * /mod/sbin/unencrypt "/mnt/hd2/My Video/archive" > /mod/tmp/unencrypt.log 2>&1 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Auto-Unprotect must be running | ||
+ | *[[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Content_Sharing |'''Content sharing''']] must = on e.g. Menu >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings | ||
+ | |||
+ | See Decryption flow chart [[Encryption | '''HERE''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Undelete== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Redirects deleted recordings to a dustbin folder called [Deleted Items] and then automatically removes them from this new folder 7 days later, The Folder Name and delay before deletion is carried out (1 to 30 days) is configurable in the Web-If Setting area. It's a batch process which runs once per day. It runs 6 minutes after the first boot of the day or, if you keep your box on all the time, at 2am. | ||
+ | It scans the bin and removes anything that was put there over x * 24 hours ago, Where x = no. of days (strictly, anything that was last modified over x * 24 hours ago) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Settings can be changed in :- Web-If >> Settings >> Undelete Settings, e.g. :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Dustbin Name | ||
+ | *Remove files from dustbin after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30 days | ||
+ | *Reduce retention time to 0 days if disk space < 10GiB (configurable) | ||
+ | |||
+ | A Log records delete activity at /mod/tmp/empty_dustbin.log | ||
+ | |||
+ | Setting are contained in /mod/webif/plugin/undelete/user.conf | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Version== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Command line (Via Telnet) utility to display various Web-If version numbers, e.g. :- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | humax# version | ||
+ | |||
+ | Humax HDR Fox T2 (humax) | ||
+ | Humax Version: 1.03.12 (kernel HDR_CFW_3.00) | ||
+ | Custom firmware version: 3.00 (build 2137) | ||
+ | Web interface version: 1.2.1 | ||
+ | Serial Number: 12 3456789 12345 | ||
+ | |||
+ | humax# | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Vfdtest== | ||
+ | [[File:front-icons2.png|right|200px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | This utility turns on all segments of the Humax front display (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If >> Diagnostics >> Run Diagnostic >> vfdtest (available in pull down menu). This will force the display to set all segments to 'on' for 30 seconds, followed by all segments off | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''NOTE:- ''' normal display will return after the Humax is placed in standby | ||
+ | |||
+ | Command Line Version :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> vfdtest on </span><span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HIDE </span>Set Display to All segments On | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00"> vfdtest off </span><span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HIDE </span>Set Display to All Segments off | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Vi== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Text Editor, See [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Text_Editors | '''Text Editors''']]. A basic version of Vi is built into the custom [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#BusyBox |'''Busybox''']] package (it's not included in the version of Busybox in the vendor's firmware). | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Vim Basic== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Text Editor, See [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Text_Editors | '''Text Editors''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Vim Standard== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Text Editor, See [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Text_Editors | '''Text Editors''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Virtual-Disk== | ||
+ | |||
+ | One way to decrypt content which has been recorded by the Humax is to copy to an external disk, This is usually a slow process as the | ||
+ | external disk must be connected via one of the USB ports. This package creates a virtual disk on the system to which content can | ||
+ | be copied. It is much faster since it is based on the internal hard disk. The virtual disk is shared by the MediaTomb package by default, giving a | ||
+ | fairly straightforward method of sharing recorded content on the network. In conjunction with the 'auto-unprotect' package, high definition content can also be shared. Any copy to Virtual Disk MUST be by Remote Control OPT+ copy for decryption to take place | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Note:- For new installations, Virtual-Disk2 is now recommended in place of this package''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Virtual-Disk2== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The original Virtual-Disk package (See Above) required a physical USB drive to be in place before the virtual drive could be seen, this new version removes this requirement by creating a drive called 'Virtual-USB', as with a 'real' USB drive, you will get an on-screen display each time the system is started, giving USB options | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Web IF == | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Web_Interface_Screenshots |'''Screen Shots''']]<span style="color:#FFFFFF"> HIDE </span>[[Webif_release_notes |'''Release Notes''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | An evolving web interface for the Humax. This package provides a means of accessing the Humax using a web browser on any device connected to the | ||
+ | network (including mobile 'phones and iPads). The interface allows easy viewing of recorded programme details as well as allowing basic | ||
+ | manipulation to be performed. Additionally the EPG can be viewed and searched from within the web browser | ||
+ | |||
+ | Within the Web-IF are the following Built-In Functions :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Backup/Restore Schedule=== | ||
+ | [[File:Backup.png|70px|thumb|right]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If MAIN >> Scheduled Events >> Backup / Restore Scheduled Recordings / Events | ||
+ | |||
+ | This feature provides an automatic daily backup of recording schedule, It is also possible to force an extra manual backup at any time. Any stored backups can then be selected for restoration from the backup folder e.g. /mod/var/backup/auto-2013-Feb-22-18:06.rbk | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE : An auto-schedule-restore backup, is a seperate file held in /mod/boot/schedule.ab | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Change Channel=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If >> EPG >> Grid Style or Now and Next >> Click on a Channel Logo icon | ||

+ | |||
+ | Allows all entries in the schedule that have no Start Time to be deleted, Humax normally auto-deletes these entries after 12 Weeks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Note:-''' As the EPG is only 7/8 days long caution should be used when deleting scheduled entries that are transmitted less frequently e.g. fortnightly | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Clipboard=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Used in conjunction with Copy, Cut and Paste, The clipboard is an area that files / Folders can be temporarily held in while a new destination is selected. It emulates a Windows Clipboard | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===Download=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If MAIN >> Browse Media Files >> (Select Single File) >> OPT+ >> Download | ||
+ | |||
+ | This function will download with decryption an SD file (or Hi-Def File if the 'ENC' flag is removed) and place it into the default download folder on your P.C., The following items may inhibit it functioning correctly :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | # The File type *.TS must not be associated with a program such as a media player on your P.C., If it is, Remove the association | ||
+ | # Your browser must allow re-direction of addresses | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Enable Auto-Audio=== | ||

+ | |||
+ | Automatically delete files in a selected folder a pre-set number of days after recording e.g.1 to 999 days or when above a total number of recordings, Note :- If the Undelete package is installed, the files will be placed in the [Deleted folder] first | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===Bookmarks=== | ||
+ | [[File:bookmarks.png|right|150px]] | ||
+ | Add, remove and edit bookmarks manually | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If MAIN >> Browse Media Files >> (Select Single File) >> OPT+ >> Bookmarks | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Enable Auto-MPG=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If MAIN >> Browse Media Files >> Folder >> Enable Auto-MPG | ||
+ | |||
+ | Automatically extract MPG copys of the *.TS files in the same folder, the MPG versions strips out control frames relating to things which were on the same Mux as the recorded program, resulting in a smaller file. The following conditions must be met :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | *The file must be decrypted (Displays a DEC against it) | ||
+ | *ffmpeg package must be installed | ||
+ | *Extract to MPG is only available from Standard Definition Files | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===Enable Recursive Auto-Decrypt=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As above but it but it also works on all folders below the selected folder | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Enable Recursive Auto-Dedup (command line)=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE :- This is not available from the Web-If as it may not be a good idea. Not all series are amenable to auto-dedup and if the broadcaster uses the same programme title for each episode then all but one will be flagged as duplicates. | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, if you wish, you can enable this option from the command line by creating an .autodedupr file, e.g. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span style="background:#FFFF00">touch "/mod/My Video/Kids/.autodedupr" </span> | ||
+ | |||

+ | *The file must be decrypted (Displays a DEC against it) | ||
+ | *ffmpeg package must be installed | ||
+ | *Standard Def. recording only (Hi-Def 2 Ch or 6 Ch sound won't be decoded) | ||
+ | *The extracted MP3 file is in a format sometimes called MPEG-2 Audio, not the more common Layer 3 audio, although some MP3 players will accept this format, a greater number of MP3 players require the layer 3 format, transcoding to layer 3 is not carried out on the Humax due to amount of CPU usage required | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Extract To MPG=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If MAIN >> Browse Media Files >> (Select Single File) >> OPT+ >> Extract To MPG | ||
+ | |||
+ | This function will produce an MPG copy of the *.TS file in the same folder, the MPG version strips out control frames relating to things which were on the same Mux as the recorded program, resulting in a smaller file. The following conditions must be met :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | *The file must be decrypted (Displays a DEC against it) | ||
+ | *ffmpeg package must be installed | ||
+ | *Extract to MPG is only available from Standard Definition Files | ||
+ | *The equivalent command line would be:- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | ffmpeg -y -benchmark -v 0 -i <ts file> -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -vcodec copy -acodec copy <mpg file> | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Enable Auto-mpg=== | ||
+ | |||

+ | *Create : One-off, Daily, weekly,Weekday, Weekend | ||
+ | *Create : Recording or Reminder | ||
+ | *From : Date/Time to: Date/Time | ||
+ | *Channel : Number / Name | ||
+ | *Event Title : Defaults to Channel Name | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Multi Mode Recording=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option built into the Web-If allows the user to enable a mix of both Accurate Recording and Padding on a per program basis, See [[Multi-mode_Recording|'''Guide Here''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Network Settings=== | ||
+ | [[File:network-settings.png|thumb]] | ||
+ | Web-If MAIN >> Settings >> Network Settings | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option provides a Web-If alternative to entering Ethernet Interface and Wireless Interface parameters into the standard Humax Settings screen. The Web-If Wireless Interface screen has several advantages over the standard Humax one e.g :- | ||
+ | *Allows a wider range of ascii characters e.g. "%#<>" to be entered for passwordphrases | ||
+ | *Overcomes time restrictions when entering long passphrases / Keys | ||
+ | '''Notes''' | ||
+ | *Web-If 1.2.0-3 or later must be running | ||
+ | *To enable a wireless network when an Ethernet cable is connected, run /sbin/wifi-up from [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#CLI |'''CLI''']] | ||
+ | *To enable a wireless network when an Ethernet cable is connected and Wireless Helper is installed run /mod/sbin/wifi-up from [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#CLI |'''CLI''']] to shutdown the Ethernet interface when bringing up the wireless interface | ||

+ | |||
+ | This Function (only available on files over 4GB) will split the file into 45 Minute parts with a 2 Minute overlap, It can be used to stream large files without hitting the 4GB stream bug present on the Humax. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The New files will have segment numbering e.g. 1/3. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Shrink (stripts)=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web-If MAIN >> Browse Media Files >> (Select Single File) >> OPT+ >> Shrink | ||
+ | |||
+ | Clicking on Shrink in the OPT+ menu lets you remove portions of a recording that aren't required and can account for up to 20% of its space, this option uses the stripts package to remove freeview EIT packets from the recording, it also updates the associated .nts sidecar file on the fly so that the trick play functions still work on the resulting recording | ||

+ | ==Web-IF Channel Icons== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A set of PNG picture files used to display the T.V. channel icons in the Web-Interface, they reside in /mod/var/mongoose/html/img/channels | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Webif-Charts== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chart modules for the web interface | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Webif-iphone== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A cut-down web interface, optimised for display on the iPhone and other mobile devices | ||
+ | |||
+ | See Screenshots [[Smartphone_Web_Interface_Screenshots | '''HERE''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Webif Style Sheet== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The web interface allow you to set your own style overrides in a style sheet file called EXTRA.css, it is located at /mod/webif/html/css/EXTRA.css and is selectable from the Web-If >> Diagnostics >> File Editor drop down menu. Lines added to this file can change some aspects of how the Web Interface is presented to the user e.g. the following lines will prevent genre, guidance (all occurrences) or channel icons being displayed :- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | img.genre { display: none; } | ||
+ | img[src^="/img/Guidance"] { display: none; } | ||
+ | img.browsechannel { display: none; } | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Change the size of the pie chart:- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | #tbdiskpie | ||
+ | { | ||
+ | width: 100px; | ||
+ | height: 100px; | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | |||
+ | .tbdiskpie | ||
+ | { | ||
+ | top: 7px !important; | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Add Borders to Web-If Pages :- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | table.schedule { border-spacing: 2px; } | ||
+ | table.schedule tr > * { border: 1px solid; } | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Change font colour or size :- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | table.schedule td * { color: black; } | ||
+ | table.schedule td { font-size: 1.1em; } | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Change Icon size | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | img.button { height: 50px; } | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remove EPG 'Go to Top' arrow :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | #toTop, #toTopHover | ||
+ | { | ||
+ | background: transparent !important; | ||
+ | display: none !important; | ||
+ | opacity: 100 !important; | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remove EPG ENC icons | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | img.epgenc { display: none; } | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Webshell== | ||
+ | |||
+ | After installing this package, an extra icon will be added to the Main Menu >> Diagnostics page at the bottom right, after a re-boot, this will allow access to a Humax Command line similar to using Telnet access | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==webm== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is an audiovisual media file format, if you download files in this format from YouTube (See Youtube-dl), the video and audio may be separated into two files, It is possible to merge these files using ffmpeg, if you download the *.webm video only file and rename it in_vid.webm and download the *.m4a file and rename it in_aud.m4a then the following ffmpeg command line will merge them for you :- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | ffmpeg -i in_aud.m4a -i in_vid.webm -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.avi | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==wget== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Retrieve files via HTTP or FTP | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Notes:-''' | ||
+ | *There is already a version of wget in Busybox which is loaded automatically, However it may be necessary to install the stand alone package as it will be a newer version | ||
+ | *Both the Busybox and the current stand alone versions of wget (1.12) may fail on websites that demand newer versions of TLS/SSL than the ones supported | ||
+ | |||
+ | When attempting to download a Custom Firmware package specifying a version number, an error will be produced unless the -U option is used, eg :- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | wget -U "" http://hummypkg.org.uk/hdrfoxt2/base/at_3.1.18_mipsel.opk | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The use of "opkg download" with a specifed version number will also fail | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Wireless Helper== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wireless network helper - brings wireless up even when just booted to make a recording. Helps with communications to the Remote Scheduling server via USB Wi-Fi dongle | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==WOL== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wakeup On Lan is a feature that can be used to take out of stand-by any item on the LAN that will respond to it. The 'Magic Packet' is broadcast over the LAN e.g. it is sent to every IP address and uses the unique MAC address of the unit to identify which unit is to be woken-up. From Telnet send the following command line where 00:01:02:03:04:05 must be replaced by the MAC address of the item to be woken, e.g. | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | ether-wake 00:01:02:03:04:05 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | To add this feature to the Humax start-up enter the following from Telnet :- | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | echo /mod/bin/busybox/ether-wake 00:01:02:03:04:05 > /mod/etc/init.d/S30wol | ||
+ | chmod 755 /mod/etc/init.d/S30wol | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | NOTES:- | ||
+ | *WOL is also built into [[Custom_Firmware_Package_Notes#Network_Shares_Automount|'''Network_Shares_Automount''']] | ||
+ | *The Humax itself cannot be switched out of Standby using Wake-up On Lan, as the LAN connector is not powered during Stand-by | ||

+ | |||
+ | See Guide [[Custom_TV_Portal| '''HERE''']] | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Youtube-dl== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This pacakage uses a command line to download videos from Youtube, BBC Iplayer, ITV Hub etc., in the following example, a 4K test video is downloaded from YouTube :- | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | Humax2# youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlLFOrWvY_M | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The above downloads a 720 line version of the file which is pretty useless when testing 2176 lines, however it is possible to list all available video formats using the -F option :- | ||

Version 2 of this App. adds provision for multiple Humaxs, the option for 1 or 2 screens depending on screen size and the Foxsat
The Android App. is available Click Here
Arbookmarks
Adds bookmarks into automatically or manually padded recordings, bookmarks are placed at Accurate Recording start and stop points to all files in folders marked as Auto Decrypt, the following conditions must be met before the Bookmarks will be added :-
- The Arbookmarks package must be installed
- Files must be in a folder that is marked for auto-decryption (open lock icon present)
- Files must be DLNA indexed (automatically done by the Humax periodically, lime green circular icon present)
- Files must not be recorded using AR i.e. the AR flags are not at start and end of file
- AR flags must be present i.e. recordings made in the middle of a programme won't contain AR flags
At
at, batch, atq, atrm - queue, examine or delete jobs for later execution. This is the UNIX at command and atd daemon, which allow for scheduling of one-off commands to be run when specified.
More notes HERE
Auto Schedule Restore
This package checks whether the schedule is present on each boot, If a schedule is in place it is backed up to flash, otherwise the schedule and any favourites list are restored from the flash backup. The schedule will be deemed to be present if there is at least one schedule item or one reservation item existing
NOTES:-
- After a re-boot the restore process will start and "Schedule Restored . . . Rebooting" will be displayed on the front display
- A second re-boot will take place automatically after 15 seconds to finalise the restoration process
- The Web-if will display "The recording schedule has been automatically restored" after the second re-boot
Auto-Unprotect
The Auto-Unprotect package runs in the background and automatically removes the Encryption Protected flag on High Definition recordings on the HDR-Fox T2. This is the flag which prevents the file from being decrypted in the same way as a Standard Definition file. On first installation, the hard disk will be scanned for any High Definition recordings and they will be unprotected. Thereafter, new recordings will have the flag removed as they are completed. See reset_unprotect HERE to fix any 'missed files'.
Auto, Auto-Unprotect makes a change to the DLNA index so that High Definition files can be streamed without DTCP, Note, Foxy does not remove DTCP which is required for DLNA decryption
NOTES:-
- Auto-Unprotect does not decrypt the file, however it does make decryption possible by the same means as for a Standard Definition file - see flow chart HERE.
- Auto-Unprotect on the HD-Fox T2 will not allow decryption unless the HD-Fox T2 is running in BootHDR mode
Auto-Update
This package automatically keeps the installed packages up to date by checking for any new releases daily and automatically downloading and installing them. It will check once per day at the earliest power on - for most people probably the 04:30 boot.
Badnts
Utility to fix a recording error where a full size TS file is recorded but the associated NTS file generated by the Humax is of zero length, this results in the the Humax rejecting the file on playback. After the recording is decrypted in a folder that is marked for auto-decyption, the utility will look for a zero length NTS file and if found the NTS, THM and HMT files will all be deleted (or moved to the [Deleted] folder), this will make the TS file playable on the Humax,however as the 'sidecar' files have been removed there will be some play-back limitations, e.g. transport controls etc. Notes
- This utility only works on HDR-Fox T2 not HD-Fox T2
- Only files stored in an auto-decrypt folder will be fixed
Bash
Bourne Again SHell is an enhanced Sh (Shell) Command line / scripting language. See Reference Guide
Betaftpd
For HDR-Fox T2
The HDR-FOX T2 has a built-in FTP server. The default server will still be available after the Custom Firmware is installed, however only files under ‘Media’ are visible. Betaftpd has two possible Logins. If login = humaxftp and password = 0000 is used then only ‘Media’ is visible. If login = root and password = 0000 is used then the entire file system is accessible. If the remote password has been changed from 0000 then the new password must be used.
NOTE:- The Built-in FTP server must be turned off if Betaftpd is used with Menu >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings >> FTP Server = OFF
For HD-Fox T2
Betaftpd will add an FTP server to the Humax after installation. Betaftpd has two possible Logins. If login = humaxftp and password = 0000 is used then only ‘Media’ is visible. If login = root and password = 0000 is used then the entire file system is accessible. If the remote password has been changed from 0000 then the new password must be used.
Blocklist
See Transmission (torrent) Block List notes HERE.
Bookmark
The Humax Bookmarks used to place 'jump-to' points within a recording are also used by several Custom Firmware packages, as Follows:-
- Edit On Box . . . A single or multiple bookmarks are used as cut and join points for editing a recording in the Web-If Crop option
- Set Thumbnails . . . Uses the the first bookmark in a recording as a central point from which to pick a new thumbnail
- Arbookmarks . . . Bookmarks are automatically added to a recording at Accurate Recording start and stop points so that a Crop can be performed
BootHDR
This package is for the HD-FOX T2 only (NOT for HDR-Fox T2)
It allows the HD-FOX T2 to run the software for the HDR-FOX T2, to allow decryption of recordings by copying to a volume. BootHDR can be installed from the Web-If packages screen (of the HD-Fox T2 only). Here is the equivalent command line (Telnet) :-
opkg install wget
opkg install boothdr --force-reinstall
Once the package is installed you can run in HDR-Fox T2 mode, while in this mode, the front panel display will freeze and the box will be incapable of making new recordings. To initiate HDR-Fox T2 mode copy the *Modsettings/TriggerHDR folder to the root of drive1 and then re-boot the HD-Fox T2
Installing the BootHDR package also adds the command line keyword bootHDRmode, this can be used to invoke HDR mode
There is a Guide to using BootHDR on the Wiki HERE
Boot_Settings
Set system parameters to specified values on every boot. [Update settings]
Bsed
Binary-safe search/replace utility.
BusyBox
Your Humax box has a ‘Unix’ operating system. Busybox is a package that provides 158 common Unix Sh (Shell) commands that can be used in Telnet sessions. The list below shows the available commands. There is no 'man' command that would explain what they do, but most commands can have a -? or -h extension to get some help e.g. ls -?
A command look up table can be found HERE.
NOTE:- It is not a good idea to 'Play' with these commands if you don't know what you are doing.

cfupdater
A flash update script for updating the custom firmware on an HDR without using USB sticks, It should be run in maintenance mode and does not currently support updating the loader.
Once the package has been installed, copy the hdf file onto the hard disk (or make it available in maintenance mode), then reboot into maintenance mode and send a command line in the form :-
/mod/sbin/cfupdater <hdf-file>
If you need remote progress, then you can telnet back into the box after the connection has closed then
tail -f /tmp/cfupdate.log
Channeldel
Note: now superseded by tunefix
Automatic channel deletion. select TV channels to be permanently removed from the group TV list in Web-If >> Settings >> Automatic Channel Deletion, selected channels, plus a set of 9 unavailable channels known to cause problems will be automatically deleted the next time the Humax is booted, and following any retune
Select all but one file and press delete to reduce the current list in /mod/boot/chandel.conf, the remaining file can be deleted later
ChaseDecrypt
Retrieve and decrypt recording whilst recording is still in progress, uses Chaseget
See ChaseDecrypt for further details
Chaseget
Retrieve and decrypt recording, can run whilst recording is still in progress
This is intended to be used as part of other packages (such as detectads) rather than installed and used standalone
Runs as first stage of pipeline, output is always to stdout
Usage= /mod/bin/chaseget recording.ts start_offset logfile > output.ts
CIFS
The Common Internet File System. The cifs package provides the Humax with the ability to remotely access files shared from PCs using Windows file sharing. This package adds the support to the running system but mounting remote file systems must currently be performed from the command line. Example :-
mkdir /media/NAS
mkdir "/media/My Video/NAS"
mount -t cifs //server/share /media/NAS -o user=abc,password=def
mount -t cifs //server/share "/media/My Video/NAS" -o user=abc,password=def
CLI
This is an acronym for Command Line Interface, a CLI can be established by Telnetting into the Humax and being presented with a CLI prompt, If the Tmenu is displayed there will be a 'cli' option to gain the CLI prompt e.g. humax#
Content Sharing
Menu >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings >> Content Sharing = On
Content Sharing is an in-built DLNA / UPnP server that allows the HDR to stream content over it's LAN connector to a DNLA / UPnP client, this feature is also used by the Custom Firmware to provide decryption of both Standard Definition and High Definition content
Crashdiag
Captures a memory dump (core file) when the main Humax process crashes,The dump files will end up in /mod/core/ called humaxtv.<UNIX timestamp> and a reboot is required following package installation in order to activate it
Crash Log
The Mulitenv 1.4 package contains a procedure that monitors the behaviour of running processes, If the Humax crashes a file will be generated under /mod/tmp/ called crash.log, it can be examined from Web-If >> Diagnostics >> View Log Files. The Crash log will tell you if Custom Firmware plug-ins are being disabled as a result of the crash, To re-start undelete, redring and ir packages, run Web-If >> Diagnostics >> fix-flash-packages >> Run Diagnostic. To prevent the crash log auto disabling plug-ins, create a file with the following command :-
touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/no_plugin_autodisable
Cron
Cron is a time-based job scheduler that will auto-run tasks for you. It is built into Busybox which is a standard utility on your Humax, so Cron does not need to be installed. The tasks are held in a Cron table or crontab. Here is an example crontab :-
humax# cd /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ humax# cat root 0 2 * * * /mod/sbin/anacron -s -d 1,31 * * * * /mod/sbin/unencrypt "/mnt/hd2/My Video/archive" > /mod/tmp/unencrypt.log 2>&1 */10 * * * * /mod/sbin/rs_process >> /mod/tmp/rs.log 2>&1 humax#
Each line of crontab has the following structure:
<Minute> <Hour> <Day> <Month> <Day of Week> <Command line> Note :- * = All or Every
The three examples above will run
- at 2AM every day
- at 1 Minute and 31 Minutes of every Hour every day
- every 10 Minutes continuously
It is possible to display all cron jobs with the following command line:-
crontab -l
To add a new cron job edit file /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root and add a new line
Cryptokey
This is the unique key that is used by the Humax HDR / HD to encrypt and decrypt all recordings on the hard disk, it is made up from the MAC address of the unit (6 pairs of hexadecimal) followed by the first 10 digits of the unit's serial number (also in hexadecimal)
The cryptokey can be examined, changed and reset (Cleared) to the original by sending the following nugget command line options :-
humax# nugget cryptokey Native key: dc d3 21 01 02 03 36 33 37 31 30 35 37 36 33 30 Using key: <no custom key in use> humax# nugget cryptokey 01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01.01 Using key: 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 humax# nugget cryptokey Native key: dc d3 21 01 02 03 36 33 37 31 30 35 37 36 33 30 Using key: 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 humax# nugget cryptokey -clear Cleared custom encryption key. humax# nugget cryptokey Native key: dc d3 21 01 02 03 36 33 37 31 30 35 37 36 33 30 Using key: <no custom key in use>
The cryptokey is used by the Stripts Package when decrypting files on the Humax
Curl Command
curl command line utility.
Custom TV Portal
An extension to the Humax TV Portal that adds more features.

DB Update
General boot-time database update utility
Dedup (Command Line)
The dedup package adds a command line utility which can consolidate recordings within a single folder so that duplicates are removed and the remaining episodes are renamed so that the episode name and number (if available) are displayed in the Media Browser.
Note:- There is a 'built-in' version of Dedup in the Web-If that effectively replaces the command line package. However if the dedup package is installed it is possible to perform the following Telnet commands from the folder you have navigated to:-
dedup HIDE lists the recordings there and shows what they would be renamed to
dedup -yes HIDE perform the changes as detailed below :-
- Renames the files on disk to match the episode name
- Changes the title shown in the media list to match the episode name
- Identifies duplicate episodes and moves them to a sub-folder called dup/
Dedup (Series Helper File)
It is possible to create a series helper file that Dedup can use to enhance the re-naming of series, the file should be placed in the directory containing the series and named series.info, Dedup will look for this file and automatically use it, an example of a series.info file is shown below :-
Pilot ==> S1-01 Pilot The Big Bang Theory ==> S1-01 The Big Bran Hypothesis ==> S1-02 The Fuzzy Boots Corollary ==> S1-03 The Luminous Fish Effect ==> S1-04 The Hamburger Postulate ==> S1-05 The Middle Earth Paradigm ==> S1-06 The Dumpling Paradox ==> S1-07 The Grasshopper Experiment ==> S1-08 The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization ==> S1-09
The above 'full' file is stored here :- http://hummypkg.org.uk/series/tbbt.series.info
DeRMA
After a Web-If >> Diagnostics >> Set-Return-to-manufacturer (RMA) Mode operation has been carried out, standard Humax software should be re-installed, this should leave the Humax in an 'out-of-the-box' state, however if for any reason the 'RMA' message is still being displayed, then loading this package onto a USB stick and inserting it into the Humax, while it is running, will remove the RMA message
Detectads
This package will attempt to add bookmarks to a recording to indicate the start and end of advert breaks, so that the adverts can be removed with a crop function, cropping can optionally be performed automatically within the package,
Using the new 'Detect while recording' function the detection process runs in parallel with the actual recording so the processing completes within a few seconds of the recording finishing. You can even, with some limitations, start to watch your program adfree whilst it is still recording.
See DetectAds for more information about this package
Disable DSO
Disable automatic retuning in response to Digital-Switch-Over events. When the Humax carries out a retune all recording Schedule events and all Favourites Lists will be erased, however recorded programmes will not be erased. DSO events are sent to the Humax by the TV broadcasters when they need to change some aspect of the Electronic Programme Guide, such as changing a channel number or adding extra channels
Disable OTA
Disable OTA inhibits any Over The Air software updates transmitted by Humax by deleting OTA schedules created by the Humax, it also has a "Create Reminder to cover OTA Period = Y / N" option in the Settings page, this will create a reminder on the Red Button (channel 200) to cover the OTA period, if you want it to use a different channel or on / off time, you can edit the reminder using the standard Humax on-TV menus, you can also disable the reminder option completely, however if this is done there is a small possibility that an OTA search may still be actioned on your Humax
Note The OTA service for software updates is no longer in operation
Display
A command that can be used to display a message on the HDR-Fox T2 front panel, any alpha-numerics (Max 12 characters) can be displayed, scrolling is not available. The new message will be displayed until the unit is rebooted or changed by the Humax, example :-
/sbin/display 'Twelve Chars'
The display can be blanked with :-
/sbin/display ' '
The display of the HD-Fox T2 (Max 4 characters + colon) can also be used by adding '$' to the string e.g. :-
/sbin/display '$he:lp'
NOTE If the Humax updates the display e.g. after a channel change or is scrolling the display then your message will be removed
DLNA-Filter
Filters out DLNA server network traffic to prevent other DLNA servers from crashing the Humax. File /mod/etc/init.d/S02dlna-filter contains rule="-p tcp --dport 50001 -j DROP". From default the package works on all IP addresses, however in Web-If >> Settings >> Settings for DLNA-Filter package, it is possible to restrict operation to one or more specified IP addresses
NOTES
- DLNA-Filter requires Custom Firmware Version 3.00 or later
- DLNA-Filter will block access to the Humax DLNA server if the Settings for DLNA-Filter package is left blank
DLNA-Servername
This package enables Humaxs on the same network to be given a unique Media Server Name. It requires that Custom Version 2.20 or above be installed
Dropbear SSH
A secure shell (ssh) server for the Humax. This package provides remote command line access over an encrypted session and is a secure alternative to using Telnet to gain command line access - although it causes the box to do more work. Also allows the use of scp (secure copy) as a secure alternative to FTP.
Login with username=root, password=humax
Create file /mod/.ssh/authorized_keys containing a list of public keys
Note :- chmod 700 /mod/.ssh and chmod 600 /mod/.ssh/authorized_keys
Dropbear SFTP
Greenend-sftp is a plugin for dropbear-ssh which provides SFTP server functionality.SFTP is often used to provide remote virtual filesystem (VFS) access to the Humax's filesystem, e.g. via FUSE. For further info. click link HERE
DUMA
D.U.M.A. - Detect Unintended Memory Access - A Red-Zone memory allocator. It can detect memory leaks and buffer overruns (or underruns) in a malloc() / new memory buffer. DUMA is a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric Fence library.
Dustbin
See Undelete
Dvbsnoop
Utility for inspecting DVB files. Some more info HERE.
Note that one cannot inspect live streams off air on the Humax, as the Humax doesn't provide the required software interface to its DVB hardware.
E2fs_Progs
Ext2/3/4 File system Utilities. The Linux File Disk system used on the Humax. Useful for formatting a USB Flash drive in EXT2 to avoid journalling. First allow the Humax to format the drive as EXT3 then follow the procedure HERE.
[Eject]
The Eject icon is displayed (If a USB Device is detected), on all Web-if Headers adjacent to the FREEVIEW icon, when the user clicks on this icon, a list of USB devices attached to the Humax will be displayed with the following information (from Left to Right) :-
- USB interface name
- USB Device name
- Format type, e.g. FAT32, NTFS, EXT3 etc.
- Device % used
- Device capacity
- Eject Option
To the far right there is an eject icon, when the user clicks on this icon, an option will be displayed, e.g. "Eject USB-1? - OK or Cancel, If OK is selected the USB device will be unmounted, this is similar to the Windows option "Safely Remove Hardware"
If 'Device not mounted' is displayed, the user can click on the recycle icon (far right) to display a 'Rescan OK/Cancel' option, this will allow a rescan and the USB device will be re-mounted
NOTES
- This feature is only present on the HDR-FOX T2, not the HD-FOX T2
EPG
The command line utility used by the Electronic Program Guide in the Web-If e.g. :-
humax# epg Humax EPG Tool v1.0.8, by af123, 2011. Syntax: epg [options] [filters] <command>... Options: -b Brief output. -d[level] Set debug level. -f<file> Specify alternate EPG data file. -h Show help text. -p Parsable output. Filters: (can be specified multiple times, all must be true) -C<CRID> Show only events with this CRID. -D<descriptor type> Show only selected descriptor type. -E<event id> Show only selected event. -R<SCRID> Show only events with this Series ID. -S<service id> Show only selected service. -T<content type> Show only selected content types. -@<unix timestamp> Show only programmes at time. -/<unix timestamp> Show only programmes on day. -/<days> Show only programmes on day. -=<start>:<end> Show only programmes in time period. Commands: dump Show a parsed summary of the EPG. dumpraw Show raw data from the EPG. sqldump Produce SQL statements from EPG data. sqlitedump <file> Create SQLite database from EPG data. now Show what is currently on. first Show the time of the earliest record. last Show the time of the latest record. parse Parse the EPG, no output. search <text> Search programme names for text. searchall <text> Search programme names/descriptions for text.
When using the epg command on HD-FOX, note that:
- There is no EPG cache file to inspect unless there is a recording drive fitted;
- To access the cache, use epg -f /media/drive1/epgsavedata.
Epgfix
epgfix causes a channel change once a day (by default at 4am) for 3 minutes before restoring the original channel it was tuned to. This is enough to trigger the Humax software to keep the EPG up to date when the Humax is on 24/7, (it has no advantage when the unit has a daily on/standby cycle).
You need at least a single service on an alternative mux. to the one the box is tuned to for it to work. Changing to a different service on the same mux. was found not to work reliably enough.
There is no user interface, no settings and nothing to configure. The only thing you can change is the time of operation if it is not suitable! You have to do this manually by editing the /mod/bin/epgfix entry in the /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file. This is easily available using the File Editor on the WebIf's Diagnostics page.
Epg Keywords (Web-If)
This package was a web interface plugin which allowed a list of keywords to be configured and when found an email was sent Weekly to a specified email address detailing any programmes in the EPG which matched the keywords.
NOTE:- The EPG Keywords functionality has now been moved to Remote Scheduling Auto.
Initial Setup :-
- Web-If MAIN >> SETTINGS >> Email address >> myname@talktalk.co.uk
- Web-If MAIN >> SETTINGS >> SMTP >> smtp.talktalk.co.uk
- Web-If MAIN >> SETTINGS >> SEND TEST EMAIL
Epgpatch
Utility for patching EPG information in a completed recording, it is used to fix problems in TV areas that use non standard EPG data e.g. Ireland Saorview
Enable Telnet
This USB loaded package will re-enable telnet for the Custom Firmware, it performs the following command lines :-
rm -f /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/notelnet /etc/init.d/S50telnet start << /dev/null >> /dev/null 2>&1
Exfat
This package adds support for reading and writing files in the Exfat format
Please take the time to read the Wikipedia article on exFAT
Exfat Builder
See Exfat above
Note that this package does not add exFAT support to your system, only provides a simple method for you to do it yourself. This is because there are licence and patent issues around exFAT and if we were to make the compiled exFAT code available in the repository then we would be in violation of at least some of them.
The package provides a web page (accessible from the standard web interface settings screen) from which you can download, build and install the required files in a single step. It will:
- Download an open-source exFAT implementation from Google Code;
- Unpack and modify the code to support the Humax;
- Compile the files into binaries which can run on the Humax;
- Install the compiled binaries on your system;
- Add hooks to automatically mount exFAT disks when they are detected.
EXTRA.css
Fan
the default fan speeds set by humax are :-
- 70% - once the HDD temperature reaches 55°C
- 65% - when the temperature drops to 54°C
- 55% - when the temperature drops to 51°C
- 0% - when the temperature drops to 49°C
This utility allows the user to set a minimum continuous fan speed between 0% and 100%, By setting a minimum fan speed higher than zero it is possible to prevent the fan reaching the noisier 70% setting. If the Humax requests a higher speed setting, this higher speed will be used
Notes
- After an initial Humax restart, this package can change the minimum fan speed on-the-fly every two minutes
- The fanspeed (0 - 255) is stored in the /mod/boot/fanspeed file
- Changes made by this package will be displayed in the /tmp/humaxtv.log file, if Diagnostics >> debugtv >> Run Diagnostic has been run
Editing /tmp/humaxtv.log Sun Sep 15 10:42:36 2013 Applying minimum fan speed = 255 (ff) Sun Sep 15 10:44:36 2013 Applying minimum fan speed = 0 (0)
Ffmpeg
FFmpeg will record, convert, extract and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec - the leading audio/video codec library. It also displays information about video and audio files. See Link HERE
NOTE:- Ffmpeg operations performed on the Humax can be very demanding on CPU time, especially when performing conversions rather than extractions. The following examples were carried out using a version of Ffmpeg running on a P.C.rather than on the Humax.
Convert an extracted MP3 audio file in MP2 format to the more common MP3:-
ffmpeg -i input.ts -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192000 -f mp3 output.mp3

Fix-disk
Fix-Disk is a disk partition repair utility (built into Custom Firmware Ver 2.12 and above) for the Humax HDR-Fox T2. It does a full file system check, repairing minor faults automatically as it goes. It will also allow you to fix the delete loop problem. A fix-disk.log file will be generated in /mod/tmp/ and can be viewed using Web-If >> Diagnostics >> View Log Files
To invoke the Fix-Disk utility follow the Maintenance Mode Guide HERE
Fix-disk (USB)
As fix-disk is now built into Custom Firmware 2.12 and is therefore already resident on your hard drive, the USB version is no longer recommended or supported. However it is still available [HERE].
Fix Flash Packages
If previously installed fix-flash-packages will re-install :- boot-settings, crashdiag, dbupdate, disable-dso, disable-ota, dlna-servername, ir, fan, fix-disk, multienv, multimode, newk, nugget, opkg-beta, poweron-channel, redring, rsvsync, tmenu, tunefix, tweak, undelete, virtual-disk2, webif, webshell
Flatten
This feature changes how recorded programs are displayed on screen in the 'Media - My Video' menu. Series of programs are normally grouped into a sub-folder. Flatten will move the contents of sub-folders to the main 'Top' folder and remove empty sub-folders. After installing flatten the Web-If will have an option under OPT+ which lets you toggle directories between flatten and no-flatten.
NOTES
- All directories will default to have flatten turned on unless they are changed
- Flatten runs every 15 Minutes when the box is not in standby
Exceptions
- Folders marked as no flatten using the OPT+ option will not be flattened
- Folders whose names are bounded by square brackets e.g. [NOT THIS ONE] will not be flattened
- Folders containing a file called .noflatten will not be flattened (Note:- Create this file Via Telnet)
Flatview
FlatView is an alternative to flatten, it provides both a flattened view and a hierarchical view at the same time by creating a new top-level directory (called " [FlatView]" by default). Recordings appear in both without using any additional disk space
NOTES
- Recordings deleted from the flattened view area are automatically removed from the original location in the hierarchy and the original folder will be removed if it is empty;
- Recordings deleted from the hierarchical view will be automatically removed from the flattened area too;
- If a recording is renamed in either area, then the change will be reflected in the other (there may be a small delay);
- Changes in flags such as 'Unwatched' and the resume point are synchronised across the two locations;
- If you move a recording out of the flattened view area, the system will think that it has been deleted and will remove the corresponding recording from the hierarchical view area;
- If you move a recording into the flattened view area, it will be left untouched
- Command line option = /mod/webif/plugin/flatview/run
Exceptions
- The contents of folders marked as no flatten using the OPT+ option will not appear in [Flatview]
- The contents of folders with names in square brackets [Like This] will not appear in [Flatview]
- The contents of folders containing a file named .noflatten will not appear in [Flatview]
Flexget
FlexGet is a multi-purpose automation tool for content like torrents, nzbs, pod-casts, comics, series, movies, etc. It can use different kinds of sources like RSS-feeds, html pages, csv files, search engines and there are even plugins for sites that do not provide any kind of useful feeds.
A Typical Cron entry for Flexget would be :-
*/1 * * * * /mod/bin/flexget -c /mod/.flexget/config.yml --cron
- Flexget Documentation HERE
Flexview
FlexView is intended to offer an alternative to the traditional webif to allow you to view an manage your recording inventory in whatever way suits you

FTP
File Transfer Protocol is a method of transferring files to and from your Humax. The Humax HDR-Fox T2 has a built-in FTP server for access to the media folders only. See the Betaftpd package for access to the full Humax file structure or to add an FTP server to the HD-Fox T2. To use FTP on a P.C. a program that handles FTP is required. Internet Explorer and Windows (file) Explorer will allow FTP access by entering ftp://10.0.0.200 into the address bar, although access may be restricted to media folders only, even when using the Betaftpd package. If access to the whole file structure is required, programs like Filezilla or WS_FTP_Pro can be used.
Notes :-
- To use the Built-In Humax FTP server MENU >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings >> FTP Server = ON
- When using Betaftpd MENU >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings >> FTP Server = OFF
- 10.0.0.200 needs to be replaced with your own Humax IP address
- login = humaxftp
- password = 0000 (your Remote Pin default). If the remote password has been changed from 0000 then the new password must be used

Automatic mounting of remote nfs or smb directories, with configuration on the box, using special "settings" directories to add and configure shares. Remote host(s) are "pinged" regularly, and shares are mounting / unmounting automatically with host availability
Folders on a computer or NAS box can be shared with other devices on the same network. On the Humax box with custom firmware we can add support for two protocols - smb (used by Windows, pre-Lion OsX, linux running Samba), and nfs (Linux, OsX, common with NAS boxes). smb support is provided by the cifs package. We can "mount" the remote shared folder(s) so they appear as if they were part of the local file system on the Humax
This packages uses directory names in the "*Modsettings/smb" and/or "*Modsettings/nfs" folders to configure as many shares as you like. For example to set up a new smb share, use the opt+ button to create a new directory within the smb folder. Name it what you want the mount to be called (eg "MyPc") Wait about 10 seconds, and navigate into the new folder. The script should have created a load of template "configuration directories" for you to rename (host IP address, foldername, user, password etc).
Notes
- The "_" symbol is used instead of "." in IP names and "/" in folder names as these can't be input (or if they can I think the box changes them to a "_")
- Once configured, the script will regularly ping the host computer to see if it is available. If it is then the shared folder will be mounted and should be browsable. If the host goes offline, the folder will be unmounted, preventing the box from locking up.
- Wake up On LAN (WOL) is available to automatically power up compatible (newer) NAS boxes, The user must supply the MAC address of the NAS box and set wakeNow? to remove the '?' for a single wake or wakeConstantly? to remove the '?' to repeat every few seconds. A script called wakecmd in mod/sbin is now called up that contains both ether-wake and the WOL script
- If option ShareFolder = off, the mount will appear in the USB section and either a real USB device or virtual2 must be installed
- If option ShareFolder = on, the mount will appear under 'My Video'
DELETING THE MY VIDEO/[SHARES] FOLDER WILL DELETE FILES ON YOUR REMOTE COMPUTER / LAPTOP/ NAS ETC.
To safely remove the [Shares] DO NOT DELETE folder :-
- Delete the configuration file created in [ModSettings]/NFS or [Modsettings]/SMB
- reboot the Humax
- Ensure there are no active shares in the [Shares] folder
- Turn off the remote device holding the shared files
- Delete the [Shares] DO NOT DELETE folder

Notes
- Redring can cause slight delay of Remote Control key presses, e.g. Pause etc.
- Problems writing to the /mod/tmp/redring.log will be listed in the /var/log/humaxtv.log after diagnostics >> debugtv is run
Renumber
Channel re-numbering support, for each channel that you wish to change, enter a new number into the box and save changes. Next time you reboot your Humax, the channel numbers will change around. If you ever rescan the channels on your box then the next time you reboot they will be automatically changed to match your saved preference. Once installed, a new option will be shown in the Web Interface Settings screen, probably near the bottom.
Renumbering channels is useful for people who want to swap the high-definitions services with their standard-definition counterparts, e.g. swap BBC ONE for BBC ONE HD putting BBC ONE HD on channel 1, and can also be used to re-order channels (e.g. move BBC HD to channel 8) to be closer to the start of the EPG. Of course another way to achieve this is to use the standard favourites feature in the Humax software to define your own list of channels and order them to suit.
Notes
- The renumber settings appears under the "reorder" section of the settings page on the Web-If
- The Tune Fix package has replaced the Renumber package
Reset Webif
Reset Webif will clear out all of the custom firmware packages and files without affecting your recordings or scheduled recordings. It is designed to be executable by booting from a Flash USB device loaded with the Reset Webif utility and is useful when the 'Web-If >> Diagnostics >> Remove All Custom Firmware packages and settings' is not available, Wait for the light to stop flashing then remove the disk and reboot the Humax (using the remote control). If you point a web browser at the Humax then you'll be back at the initial installation interface.

rs time
Command line utility that returns a number in seconds, that indicates the time offset between your Humax unit and the Remote Servers time
RMA
The Return to MAnufacturer Web-If option under Diagnostics removes Custom Firmware files from the internal hard disk drive of the HDR Fox T2, following an RMA the user should re-install a version of official Humax Software to complete the 'Out of the Box' status of the Humax
Notes
- After running the procedure, 'RMA' will be displayed in the front panel display, this message should be removed after the official Humax Software is installed, however if the message is still present, it is possible to remove it by running the DeRMA USB package
- More options for removing the Custom Firmware are detailed in the Remove Modified Firmware page
Rsvsync
Boot-time reservation sync service
Rsync
A fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool, example :-
rsync -avr --progress --delete --exclude 'Tsr/' mnt/hd2/ root@synology ip::NetBackup
This cronjob example would run at 01:05 each day, keeping the internal and external disks in sync - you just need to ensure the box is on at that time via a reminder or other mechanism.
5 1 * * * /mod/bin/rsync --archive --delete-after --log-file=/mod/tmp/rsync.log /media/My\ Video/ /media/drive1/Video/
The Custom Firmware and Humax setup can be copied from an existing Humax to a new Humax by installing the rsync and dropbear packages on both units and then entering Maintenance Mode on the new Humax and sending the following two command lines :-
rsync -avr <ip address of old humax>:/var/lib/humaxtv/ /var/lib/humaxtv/
rsync -avr <ip address of old humax>:/mnt/hd2/mod/ /mnt/hd2/mod/
rt3070
This package was a replacement wireless driver which allowed for a wider range of wireless dongle vendor types, it was removed from the packages list because version 1.0 is not compatible with the latest 1.03.XX versions of Custom firmware
Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a package loaded onto the Humax via USB in the same way as a software upgrade, it temporarily switches off most Custom Firmware components (apart from a small web server that allows you to get back out of safe more when you want), there is a package called enablesafemode.spk to turn this feature on and another called disablesafemode.spk to turn it back off, they are available frrom the Firmware Download page
Note if you have altered the encryption keys on your humax that any recordings made in safe mode will be made using the standard encryption and won't be, automatically, viewable when you return to normal mode.
Samba
Windows compatible file sharing. Allows access to the Humax file system from a computer on the same network. The file system is shared using Windows compatible sharing so can be access from Windows, MacOSX and most other operating systems. Samba operates using 'Server Message Block' (SMB), also known as Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols
To map a network drive in windows :-
- Click Start, click My Network Places, click Entire Network, and then double-click Microsoft Windows Network.
- Double-click the domain that you want to open.
- Double-click the computer that has the shared resource you want to map. All the shared resources for that computer automatically appear in the window.
- Right-click the shared drive or folder that you want to map, and then click Map Network Drive.
- Click the drive letter that you want to use, and then specify whether you want to reconnect every time that you log on to your computer.
- Note Network drives are mapped by using letters starting from the letter Z. This is the default drive letter for the first mapped drive you create. However, you can select another letter if you want to use a letter other than Z.
Drive sizes can be incorrectly reported, to avoid this set path = /media/My Video in the /mod/etc/smb.conf file
Tips
- Ensure Samba is enabled in Web-If >> Service Management
- If the Windows 'WORKGROUP' has been changed from default, edit file /mod/etc/smb.conf to match the new name
Schedchk
Check scheduled recordings against EPG and reschedule, if possible, entries that don't match the EPG
See the user guide for further details
Scons
SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a next-generation build tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to build software
Screensaver
If you pause live TV for more than 3 Mins. you will see the current time displayed on the TV screen, This is a screensaver and is designed to prevent ‘burn-in’ on flat panel TVs. The digits are made up of a series of pictures that are stored on the Humax in this read only area :- /opt/share/images/blue/821-4, It is possible to change these pictures to remove the screensaver completely (Black) or use a different font. After a new screensaver package is loaded, it will automatically become the new screensaver, you can select from installed screensaver plug-ins using the Web-If >> Settings screen
When screensaver is first installed only ‘Humax default’ is present, this is the 'flip Clock' default screensaver, If Black is installed then a completely Blank screen will be displayed. All screensaver plug-ins can be installed separately from the Web-If, e.g. the first screensaver Plug-in shown below is called screensaver-3X5, here is a list of plug-ins available :-

Series Filer
NOTE
The Series Filer package is no longer supported, the functions it carried out can be replicated by the Sweeper package, the following notes have been retained for reference only.
This utility will re-locate series folders created at the top level of My Video to Selected Sub-Directories so that they can be grouped together. After a New series folder has been created by the Humax at the top level, Simply move this series folder to a Sub-directory that you have created e.g. move the Doctor Who series folder to a sub-folder called ‘His Video’. When the next instalment of Doctor Who is transmitted the Humax will create another Doctor Who folder at the top level again, However, If Series Files is running the new instalment will be moved to the ‘His Video / Doctor Who’ automatically. Program names will also be re-named (if possible) to give more detail of each episode
NOTE:-
The early versions of Series Filer were not compatible with the Undelete package because the [deleted] directory was not handled correctly. Please DO-NOT run Series Filer versions before 0.2.2 with any version of the Undelete package, version 0.2.2 and above are safe to use
Service Control
A command line utility allowing easy control of installed services. Run the 'service' command from the command line for help.

Recreates sidecar files .hmt and .nts from a .ts source file.
Command line options :-
humax#sidecar sidecar v2.5, a utility for the Humax HD/HDR Fox T2, by raydon (c) 2014-2018 Usage: sidecar [-options] <recording name minus .ts extension> -n : Create new .nts file -h : Create new or update existing .hmt file -x : Exclude Prog/PMT ID's from .hmt file -c : <Channel number for .hmt file> -t : <Channel name for .hmt file> -p : Display progress bar -i : Display infomation Enclose recording or channel name in quotes if they contain spaces or special characters e.g. &. humax#
NOTES
- The Sidecar package must be installed using the Web-If >> Main screen >> Package Management >> Available screen
- TS files must be decrypted before running Sidecar, If the TS is encrypted see note 5 below
- Source video not native to the HDR/HD Fox T2, or that has been processed using some third party application may not be compatible
- There are versions of sidecar complied for Linux and Windows platforms Here
- if the ts file is encrypted, the package will create dummy hmt and nts files to allow the file to be decrypted i.e :-
- Use Sidecar to create the dummy hmt and nts files
- Once indexed by the DLNA server, manually decrypt via 'Opt+' menu in Web-If
- When the TS file is decrypted, simply run Sidecar again to create hmt and nts files providing full transport control.
- There is no need to delete the dummy hmt or nts files since sidecar will detect these, and replace them with valid files
- Sidecar can recreate valid hmt and nts file for both video and radio recordings
Smartmontools
This utility will report on the condition of the S.M.A.R.T. hard disk drive, After installing the package enter the following command line using Telnet :-

SQLite3
SQlite is a database file handler, e.g. files that typically end in *.db can be opened, edited etc. With readline support (arrow key editing and history)
SRT
The Humax is able to play subtitles for MP4 and AVI files if the subtitle information is contained in an *.srt file, the following conditions must be met :-
- The srt file must have the same title as the video file e.g. Fawlty-Towers-S1E3.srt for Fawlty-Towers-S1E3.avi
- The .srt file needs to be saved as a text file specifically with ANSI encoding to avoid using fonts that are licensed
Notes
1) Windows Notepad will produce a ANSI encoded srt file
2) Saving the .srt file with UTF-7 encoding is reported to be more compatible with the Humax
3)A method for extracting SRT files from a Humax *.TS file has been documented on the Hummy.tv forum HERE
SSMTP
SSMTP is a program to deliver an E-mail from your Humax to a mail host or mail hub, It will not handle incoming E-Mail
Status
A Command line (Telnet) command that shows what the Humax is (and will be) doing, e.g. :-
humax# status Recording Pretty Woman_20121201_2310 Watching 12: Dave - Would I Lie to You? (23:00 - 23:40) [7%] Will record 'The Omen' on Film4 at 23:15
Note :- The same information is also displayed automatically on several Web-If screens e.g. The Main Screen and the Remote screen
Strace
Strace (System Trace) is a diagnostic, debugging and instructional userspace utility for Linux. It is used to monitor interactions between processes and the Linux kernel, which include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state.
Stripts
This utility removes portions of a recording (*.TS File) that aren't required and can account for up to 20% of its space, this process will remove freeview EIT packets from the recording, it also updates the associated .nts sidecar file on the fly so that the trick play functions still work on the resulting recording
Humax TS Stripper Tool v1.4.2, by af123, 2012-18. Syntax: stripts [options] <input> [output] -a Analyse an input file. -A Quickly analyse an input file. -c Check if there are any EIT packets. -C Show address of first EIT packet. -D Dump NTS file. -E Check if file is encrypted. -f Also fix PAT packets. -F Only fix PAT packets. -T Dump TS file. -v Verbose. -X Add bookmarks at programme start/end. -Z Extract EPG data from recording (incomplete). -z Analyse entire TS file. -@ <key> Decrypt recording with <key>. -/ <key> Check encryption key against recording. (* See NOTE Below) -d [level] Increase debug level or set debug level. * NOTE :- This option has been reported to return "Incorrect" when using the correct key in the Windows version
stripts -F filename HI = Fix file
stripts -f filename HI = remove redundant EIT packets
stripts -v filename HI = Verbose
stripts -S filename HI = demux the raw audio stream into a file-name.audio file
NOTE Version 1.4.0 and above of strips also has a file decryption facility, this facility works on both Standard Definition and High Definition recordings and does not require Hi-Def recordings to have the 'ENC' flag removed with the Auto-Unprotect package, it does not require a DLNA URL to be allocated or the DLNA server to be running on the Humax, here is an example of a command line decryption using Stripts :-
stripts -@@ <input> <output> stripts -@ 000378bd11f336333731303434393630 "input file name" "output file name"
1) In the first example above -@@ automatically inserts the resident Humax encryption key, (When the process is run on the original Humax recorder)
2) The Second example above is used when the decryption is being carried out on a different Humax unit (or on a computer), the original unit's encryption key must be entered, e.g :- for a MAC address of 00-03-78-bd-11-f3 and a serial number of 6371044960-1234, enter 000378bd11f3 followed by the first 10 digits of the serial number in hexidecimal e.g. 36333731303434393630 (adding a '3' before each digit from the serial number)
Here is a key compiled from the info. on the Humax label (Bottom panel) :-
"input file name" and "output file name" are full *.ts file names, up to, but not including the .ts (Quotes are required for name with spaces)
There are versions of stripts that can perform offline decryption on various computer platforms including :- Linux, MacOSX and Windows etc., (NOTE :- The Windows version also requires cygwin1.dll) See Link HERE
Swapper
Swapper is a utility to change the Humax's swap file size to 128

- [Windows] Telnet >> unset crlf
- The Humax has a Built-In Telnet Welcome Screen, See Tmenu for details
Telnet Commands
The majority of Unix / Linux command line keywords can be used on the Humax, if you are not familiar with them, there are a few of the more basic commands and their meanings here :-
- cd = change directory, used to navigate around the file structure
- cd "/media/My Video" = navigate to the top level of My Video
- pwd = print working directory, tells you where you are in the file structure
- ls -al = list contents of the current directory
- touch "/media/My Video/dummy.ts" = create an empty file called dummy.ts in the My Video directory
Tempmon
This package checks the HDD temperature every three minutes and will raise a warning if a configurable thresholds is exceeded, the warning is displayed on the HDR-Fox T2's front panel and the centre 'button' flashes. The Setting >> Tempmon page shows the current Hard Disk temperature and has defaults as follows :- Alert If = 50, Attempt to go into standby if = 60 and Immediate power off If = 70 Deg C
Note If the Fan package is not installed the normal Humax routine will turn the fan on at 56 Deg C, so it is suggested that 'Alert If' should be set to 60 Deg C and the other two parameters are set to 65 and 70 Deg C
Text Editors
There is a built-in GUI Text editor in the Web-If (details HERE). In addition to this editor, There is a basic version of Vi built into the custom Busybox package (not in the Busybox version included in the vendor's firmware). There are also several packages that can be installed to suit your editing preferences e.g. Vim Basic, Vim Standard, Joe and Nano.
If you've only installed the basic custom firmware (using the upgrade path with USB), then there's sed

Tnftp
The Humax HDR has a built-in FTP Server for transfer of files from Humax to a remote client and an improved FTP Server called Betaftpd to replace it in the HDR, and to add it to the HD, the Tnftp package provides an FTP Client for file transfer from a remote FTP server to the Humax
tnftp is a port of the NetBSD FTP client.
Transmission (Bit Torrent)
The Transmission program will download files from the internet using the a torrent protocol, Downloads using this system are usually fed from multiple sites at the same time in parallel, Because of this many URL’s may be used in the download process, These URLs are packaged together into a single *.torrent file, Transmission re-constructs fragments of the file/s from these various URLs into their original format.
Transmission needs to be supplied with the *.Torrent file, it does not have a Torrent file search facility, one possible torrent source is torrentz.eu, download your selected *.Torrent file to the P.C. you run the Web-iF from
For command line access enter :-
transmission-remote
/mod/etc/transmission/settings.json contains settings such as default = speed-limit mode, this can be changed to fast downloading etc. settings info. HERE
- Go into service control and start Transmission
- Set it to auto start if you want it to come on whenever the box is on
- Go to the Web-If main menu and click the transmission icon at the bottom left
- Select 'Open' (the folder at the top left)
- Select browse in the window and highlight the previously downloaded *.torrent file
- When highlighted select 'Open'
- Select 'Upload'
- If the 'Start when added' box is checked the download will start immediately
- A new directory will be created at /media/ My Video/torrent/ containing successful downloads
Blocklist
The torrent system is a 'two-way' process which can allow other users to access your downloaded files, this access can cause a security risk and it is suggested that a block list is set up to prevent this, the Block list contains a set of IP address's not allowed access.
To create or add to a blocklist go to Transmission >> Preferences (Bottom left 'Spanner') >> Peers >> Blocklist and Enable Blocklist, then go to a block list site such as http://www.iblocklist.com/lists.php and copy an Update URL e.g. http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz from there to the Block list URL box and click on Update, This process can be repeated to build up bigger lists
It is also possible to place *.txt files containing blocklists into the /mod/etc/transmission/blocklists folder, these files must be smaller than 5Mbs, They will be processed by the Transmission program when first run and *.bin files will be created in the same folder, if the files are successfully processed an indication of the number of ‘Blocked’ URL will be displayed e.g. Block List Has 598940 Rules
Notes
- When the block lists are initially being converted into *.bin files, transmission uses an excessive amount of CPU time, this could cause errors in recording, so it is suggested that this is done when the Humax is idle.
Transportx
This package provides some additional functionality to the 'transport' controls. A reboot will be required after installation.
When this package is installed the following changes are made to the transport controls:
The first press of the pause button will pause as before but subsequent presses will each advance by one frame. Use the play button to resume normal playback. After the slow (trick mode) button is pressed, slow mode is activated, the Rewind and FFwd buttons will then slow it down or speed it up respectively. To change direction first pause and then select a direction using Rewind/FFwd (it will then start moving at the slowest speed). Repeated presses of these buttons will speed up/slow down still further. Press Play to resume normal operation.
- Slow button: x1/2 fwd
- Rew button: x1/4 fwd
- Rew button: x1/8 fwd
- Rew button: x1/16 fwd [Further presses of the rewind button will not change the speed or direction]
- Pause button: pause
- Rew button: x1/16 rew
- Rew button: x1/4 rew
- Rew button: x1 rew
If the FFwd button is pressed instead then the above sequence is reversed.
Known bugs:
When playing a remote recording via a dlna network connecton, a frame advance occurs only on alternate presses of the pause button. The onscreen display of speed/direction will be incorrect when using the slow modes - this is very unlikely to be fixable. Slow reverse tends to skip frames when viewing HiDef content and some low bandwidth StdDef content. This may be due to hardware limitations
Trm
Trm is a version of the Unix rm command (ReMove), This version removes files in blocks using Truncate (hence Truncate ReMove) rather than all at once, In order to reduce demand on system resources
TSTools
A set of tools for manipulating TS files, they include :-
TTYSnoop
TTYSnoop allows you to snoop on login tty's through another tty-device or pseudo-tty. The snoop-tty becomes a 'clone' of the original tty, redirecting both input and output from/to it.
Tunefix
Tunefix restores a user's settings after a retune has been run, the 5 Keywords are :-
- REGION to be used (channels from other regions will be removed)
- LCN (s) by number and/or range will be removed
- NAME services by name will be removed
- MUX (s) (all channels from these MUXs will be removed)
- FORCE named services to the correct LCN
Note Multiple Regions, LCNs, MUXs are separated by commas
Tunefix Update
Automatic channel deletion and fixing after a retune.
TV Diary
tvdiary is an add-on to the web interface. It tracks the TV programs you record and watch, and presents a diary view through the web interface, See Full Guide HERE
Uinput
User-space input kernel module
Unencrypt
New Note:- This package is no longer supported, with the addition to the Web-If of auto-decrypt and recursive auto-decrypt these new functions are recommended in place of Unencrypt due to them being more robust and having more sanity checks
The function will unencrypt all files in a designated directory (or all files in My Video) automatically, Files are decrypted at the same location e.g. 'decrypt in place' and are processed at the rate of one file every 30 Mins. max. so don't expect instant results
To setup Unencrypt install the package and then via Telnet enter one of the lines below :-
unencryptsetup "Bob's Videos" HIDE process a single directory
unencryptsetup HIDE process all files in 'My Video'
unencryptsetup disable HIDE Turn off unencrypt
This will update the cron table and schedule the program to run every 30 minutes (at Mins 01 and 31) indefinitely. Every time it runs, it will check that there isn't already another job running and then decrypt the first encrypted file that it finds in the directory you specified, therefore gradually working its way through your files, If you don't specify a directory, it will default to decrypting all of your recordings.
NOTES:-
- Due to CPU overloading this feature only works between 1AM and 6AM the Humax must be out of standby during this time using an Auto On / Auto off timer
- It is possible to change when Unencrypt runs by editing the cron job that controls it, Via the Web-If goto Diagnostics >> File Editor >> Open >> /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ and replace 1-6 with a * to force an Unecrypt start every 30 Mins. that the Humax is out of stand-by
1,31 * * * * /mod/sbin/unencrypt "/mnt/hd2/My Video/archive" > /mod/tmp/unencrypt.log 2>&1
- Auto-Unprotect must be running
- Content sharing must = on e.g. Menu >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings
See Decryption flow chart HERE
Undelete
Redirects deleted recordings to a dustbin folder called [Deleted Items] and then automatically removes them from this new folder 7 days later, The Folder Name and delay before deletion is carried out (1 to 30 days) is configurable in the Web-If Setting area. It's a batch process which runs once per day. It runs 6 minutes after the first boot of the day or, if you keep your box on all the time, at 2am. It scans the bin and removes anything that was put there over x * 24 hours ago, Where x = no. of days (strictly, anything that was last modified over x * 24 hours ago)
Settings can be changed in :- Web-If >> Settings >> Undelete Settings, e.g. :-
- Dustbin Name
- Remove files from dustbin after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30 days
- Reduce retention time to 0 days if disk space < 10GiB (configurable)
A Log records delete activity at /mod/tmp/empty_dustbin.log
Setting are contained in /mod/webif/plugin/undelete/user.conf
Version
Command line (Via Telnet) utility to display various Web-If version numbers, e.g. :-
humax# version Humax HDR Fox T2 (humax) Humax Version: 1.03.12 (kernel HDR_CFW_3.00) Custom firmware version: 3.00 (build 2137) Web interface version: 1.2.1 Serial Number: 12 3456789 12345 humax#
Vfdtest
This utility turns on all segments of the Humax front display (Vacuum Fluorescent Display)
Web-If >> Diagnostics >> Run Diagnostic >> vfdtest (available in pull down menu). This will force the display to set all segments to 'on' for 30 seconds, followed by all segments off
NOTE:- normal display will return after the Humax is placed in standby
Command Line Version :-
vfdtest on HIDE Set Display to All segments On
vfdtest off HIDE Set Display to All Segments off
Vi
Text Editor, See Text Editors. A basic version of Vi is built into the custom Busybox package (it's not included in the version of Busybox in the vendor's firmware).
Vim Basic
Text Editor, See Text Editors
Vim Standard
Text Editor, See Text Editors
Virtual-Disk
One way to decrypt content which has been recorded by the Humax is to copy to an external disk, This is usually a slow process as the external disk must be connected via one of the USB ports. This package creates a virtual disk on the system to which content can be copied. It is much faster since it is based on the internal hard disk. The virtual disk is shared by the MediaTomb package by default, giving a fairly straightforward method of sharing recorded content on the network. In conjunction with the 'auto-unprotect' package, high definition content can also be shared. Any copy to Virtual Disk MUST be by Remote Control OPT+ copy for decryption to take place
Note:- For new installations, Virtual-Disk2 is now recommended in place of this package
Virtual-Disk2
The original Virtual-Disk package (See Above) required a physical USB drive to be in place before the virtual drive could be seen, this new version removes this requirement by creating a drive called 'Virtual-USB', as with a 'real' USB drive, you will get an on-screen display each time the system is started, giving USB options
Web IF
Screen Shots HIDE Release Notes
An evolving web interface for the Humax. This package provides a means of accessing the Humax using a web browser on any device connected to the network (including mobile 'phones and iPads). The interface allows easy viewing of recorded programme details as well as allowing basic manipulation to be performed. Additionally the EPG can be viewed and searched from within the web browser
Within the Web-IF are the following Built-In Functions :-
Backup/Restore Schedule
Web-If MAIN >> Scheduled Events >> Backup / Restore Scheduled Recordings / Events
This feature provides an automatic daily backup of recording schedule, It is also possible to force an extra manual backup at any time. Any stored backups can then be selected for restoration from the backup folder e.g. /mod/var/backup/auto-2013-Feb-22-18:06.rbk
NOTE : An auto-schedule-restore backup, is a seperate file held in /mod/boot/schedule.ab
Change Channel
Web-If >> EPG >> Grid Style or Now and Next >> Click on a Channel Logo icon

- The file must be decrypted (Displays a DEC against it)
- ffmpeg package must be installed
- Standard Def. recording only (Hi-Def 2 Ch or 6 Ch sound won't be decoded)
- The extracted MP3 file is in a format sometimes called MPEG-2 Audio, not the more common Layer 3 audio, although some MP3 players will accept this format, a greater number of MP3 players require the layer 3 format, transcoding to layer 3 is not carried out on the Humax due to amount of CPU usage required
Extract To MPG
Web-If MAIN >> Browse Media Files >> (Select Single File) >> OPT+ >> Extract To MPG
This function will produce an MPG copy of the *.TS file in the same folder, the MPG version strips out control frames relating to things which were on the same Mux as the recorded program, resulting in a smaller file. The following conditions must be met :-
- The file must be decrypted (Displays a DEC against it)
- ffmpeg package must be installed
- Extract to MPG is only available from Standard Definition Files
- The equivalent command line would be:-

The web interface allow you to set your own style overrides in a style sheet file called EXTRA.css, it is located at /mod/webif/html/css/EXTRA.css and is selectable from the Web-If >> Diagnostics >> File Editor drop down menu. Lines added to this file can change some aspects of how the Web Interface is presented to the user e.g. the following lines will prevent genre, guidance (all occurrences) or channel icons being displayed :-
img.genre { display: none; } img[src^="/img/Guidance"] { display: none; } img.browsechannel { display: none; }
Change the size of the pie chart:-
#tbdiskpie { width: 100px; height: 100px; } .tbdiskpie { top: 7px !important; }
Add Borders to Web-If Pages :-
table.schedule { border-spacing: 2px; } table.schedule tr > * { border: 1px solid; }

table.schedule td * { color: black; } table.schedule td { font-size: 1.1em; }
Change Icon size
img.button { height: 50px; }
Remove EPG 'Go to Top' arrow :-
#toTop, #toTopHover { background: transparent !important; display: none !important; opacity: 100 !important; }
Remove EPG ENC icons
img.epgenc { display: none; }
Webshell
After installing this package, an extra icon will be added to the Main Menu >> Diagnostics page at the bottom right, after a re-boot, this will allow access to a Humax Command line similar to using Telnet access
webm
This is an audiovisual media file format, if you download files in this format from YouTube (See Youtube-dl), the video and audio may be separated into two files, It is possible to merge these files using ffmpeg, if you download the *.webm video only file and rename it in_vid.webm and download the *.m4a file and rename it in_aud.m4a then the following ffmpeg command line will merge them for you :-
ffmpeg -i in_aud.m4a -i in_vid.webm -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.avi
wget
Retrieve files via HTTP or FTP
Notes:-
- There is already a version of wget in Busybox which is loaded automatically, However it may be necessary to install the stand alone package as it will be a newer version
- Both the Busybox and the current stand alone versions of wget (1.12) may fail on websites that demand newer versions of TLS/SSL than the ones supported
When attempting to download a Custom Firmware package specifying a version number, an error will be produced unless the -U option is used, eg :-
wget -U "" http://hummypkg.org.uk/hdrfoxt2/base/at_3.1.18_mipsel.opk
The use of "opkg download" with a specifed version number will also fail
Wireless Helper
Wireless network helper - brings wireless up even when just booted to make a recording. Helps with communications to the Remote Scheduling server via USB Wi-Fi dongle
WOL
Wakeup On Lan is a feature that can be used to take out of stand-by any item on the LAN that will respond to it. The 'Magic Packet' is broadcast over the LAN e.g. it is sent to every IP address and uses the unique MAC address of the unit to identify which unit is to be woken-up. From Telnet send the following command line where 00:01:02:03:04:05 must be replaced by the MAC address of the item to be woken, e.g.
ether-wake 00:01:02:03:04:05
To add this feature to the Humax start-up enter the following from Telnet :-
echo /mod/bin/busybox/ether-wake 00:01:02:03:04:05 > /mod/etc/init.d/S30wol chmod 755 /mod/etc/init.d/S30wol
NOTES:-
- WOL is also built into Network_Shares_Automount
- The Humax itself cannot be switched out of Standby using Wake-up On Lan, as the LAN connector is not powered during Stand-by
Xtra1 Portal
See Guide HERE
Youtube-dl
This pacakage uses a command line to download videos from Youtube, BBC Iplayer, ITV Hub etc., in the following example, a 4K test video is downloaded from YouTube :-

Zeroconf
mDNS Responder, Will create a humax.local name which can be seen by anything running mDNS
After installation the zeroconf package will participate in mDNS-like traffic so you can access the box by name from most operating systems. On some, like Apple and Linux, you would access it as humax.local (assuming humax is the hostname) and on others, like Windows, you can just use humax. Windows can also pick up the name to IP address mapping if you have Samba installed and running.
Zip
zip utilities for compressing files :-
Humax HDR-Fox T2 (humax) 1.03.12/3.03 humax# zip Copyright (c) 1990-2008 Info-ZIP - Type 'zip "-L"' for software license. Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008). Usage: zip [-options] [-b path] [-t mmddyyyy] [-n suffixes] [zipfile list] [-xi list] The default action is to add or replace zipfile entries from list, which can include the special name - to compress standard input. If zipfile and list are omitted, zip compresses stdin to stdout. -f freshen: only changed files -u update: only changed or new files -d delete entries in zipfile -m move into zipfile (delete OS files) -r recurse into directories -j junk (don't record) directory names -0 store only -l convert LF to CR LF (-ll CR LF to LF) -1 compress faster -9 compress better -q quiet operation -v verbose operation/print version info -c add one-line comments -z add zipfile comment -@ read names from stdin -o make zipfile as old as latest entry -x exclude the following names -i include only the following names -F fix zipfile (-FF try harder) -D do not add directory entries -A adjust self-extracting exe -J junk zipfile prefix (unzipsfx) -T test zipfile integrity -X eXclude eXtra file attributes -y store symbolic links as the link instead of the referenced file -e encrypt -n don't compress these suffixes
