BREIF NOTES FOR CUSTOM FIRMWARE PACKAGES

Note Note: Some Functions of the Web Interface are 'Built-In' and do not require an additional package to be installed, These Features are covered in the Web If section of ths page

Auto-Unprotect

Removes the ENC flag from all High Definition files, When first installed all files are scanned, Then new files are processed after recording ends. NOTE:- the removal of the ENC flag does not decrypt the file, However it does make decyption possible

Auto-Update

This will check once per day at the earliest power on, for most people probably the 04:30 boot

BusyBox

Your Humax box has a ‘Unix’ operating system, Busybox is a package that provides 158 common Unix commands that can be used in a 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 extention 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

lsof

This unix command stands for LiSt of Open Files,With no extentions it will default to 'All' open files, But it is probably more useful when used with a filter as shown in the examples :-

lsof | grep humaxtv HIDE All files opened by the main Humax TV process

lsof | cut -f 1 -d' ' | sort | uniq HIDE List all processes that have opened files

lsof | grep epg HIDE All files opened by the EPG process 

humax# lsof | grep epg

If a folder name exists at the top level and at a lower level, the contents of the top level folder are copied into the lower folder and the, now empty, top level folder is deleted


Service Control Utility

From a Telnet command line prompt send the following :-

service

Telnet

Telnet is built into the default Custom Firmware package, To communicate Via Telnet from a P.C. you will need a program such as PuTTY, Select connection type Telnet and enter the IP address of your Humax into the Host Name box, Then select OPEN, You will be presented with a new Telnet Window and if connection is successful you will see the humax# prompt.

NOTE :- Telnet command lines on this WiKi are identified by a Yellow Background
