Main Feature Definitions

Auto unprotect

The Auto Unprotect package runs in the background and automatically removes the Encryption Protected flag on high definition recordings. This is the flag which prevents the file from being decrypted when it is copied to an external disk. On first installation, the hard disk will be scanned for any high definition recordings and they will be unprotected. Thereafter the hard disk will be periodically scanned for new high definition recordings and they too will be unprotected.

Cifs

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 filesystems must currently be performed from the command line.

Dedup

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.A plugin for the web interface that achieves the same thing is on the todo list.

Dropbear SSH

An SSH server for the Humax. This package provides remote command line access over an encrypted session and is an alternative to using telnet to gain command line access although it causes the box to do more work.

Mediatomb

A free UPnP MediaServer. This package allows streaming of content from the Humax to other devices on your network, once that content has been decrypted.
