Custom TV Portal (Legacy)
under construction
What is the Custom TV Portal?
The Custom TV Portal is an additional Portal similar to the Standard one, it is available as a new 'front-end' which allows for access to both standard and new options
Note:
There have been two Custom Firmware packages (Custom Portal and Portal Xtra1 detailed below) that have added a new front end to the original Humax TV portal with extra features in addition to the standard ones. When Humax changed the TV Portal to be App.based, many features of these packages stopped working. A new Custom Firmware TV package is currently in development that will work with the App. based Humax portal, however this version will only work with Custom Firmware based on the Humax 1.03.06 or later firmware, because this version uses a different browser. Details of this new version will be shown below when they become available
New Portal
The new portal requires that the follow conditions are met :-
- Custom Firmware based on Humax software version 1.03.06 or later is installed
- Nether of the previous packages 'Custom Portal' or 'Portal Xtra1' are installed
More info. will be placed here when available
Portal Xtra1
The Portal Xtra1 Package is the second generation of the original Custom TV Portal, It incorporates all the functions of the original Custom TV Portal and also has extra features
The Portal Xtra1 package cannot be installed at the same time as the original Custom TV Portal, it is compatible with the custom-portal plugin architecture, so the foscam plug-in works with this too.
