Custom Firmware Package Notes

BREIF NOTES FOR CUSTOM FIRMWARE PACKAGES

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

Some packages require a reboot (Hard disk spin down) before they take effect

7Zip

Command line utility that can pack and un-pack zip type files

• Supported Packing / unpacking Formats = 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
• Supported Unpacking only = ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z.

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 new recordings will have the flag removed as they are completed

NOTE:- the removal of the ENC flag does not decrypt the file, However it does make decyption possible

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

Betaftpd

For HDR-Fox T2

The HDR-FOX T2 has a built-in FTP server, This default server will still be in 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 accessable. 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 accessable. If the remote password has been changed from 0000 then the new password must be used

BootHDR

This Function for the HD-FOX T2 only, Allows the HD-FOX T2 to run the software for the HDR-FOX T2, to allow decryption of recordings by copying to a volume, At present the package needs to be installed from the command line (Telnet)e.g. :-

opkg install wget

opkg install boothdr --force-reinstall

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

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 filesystems 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

Curl Command

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 effectivly 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/

Disable OTA

This feature inhibits any Over The Air Software updates that may be transmitted by Humax

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

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 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

HMT

Jim

Jim is a form of the programming language TCL (Tool Command Language), That runs on the Humax unix platform

Jpnevulator

Serial Port Sniffer

Joe

Text Editor, See Text Editors

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

Mongoose

Mongoose is the Webserver that the Custom Firmware Package uses to present the Web pages you see when you log into the Web Interface, SEE EXAMPLES

Multienv

Helper utility for modifying the settop environment, Used by other packages.

Network Shares Automount

Automatic mounting of remote nfs or smb directories, with configuration on the box, using special "settings" directorys 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). Note that 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 also available to automatically power up compatible (newer) NAS boxes, The user must supply the MAC address of the NAS box and set WakeUp=on

Nano

Text Editor, See Text Editors

NTFS 3g

Read/write NTFS disk access. Out of the box the Humax can read NTFS formatted drives but this package upgrades that support to full read/write access

Ntp Client

Network Time Protocol sets the Humax clock from an Internet time server on each boot. Useful if you do not have an aerial connection. Note :- This utility may also need Forcedate to be loaded, In order to get the date near the current as NTP won't change a time / Date that is too far out

Remote Scheduling (RS)

Sed

GNU Stream Editor application notes HERE

Series Filer

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

Service Control

A command line utility allowing easy control of installed services. Run the 'service' command from the command line for help.

From a Telnet command line prompt send the following :-

service

humax# service

        service stop <service>
        service auto <service>          (toggles autostart) 

SQLite

SQlite is an SQL database engine that contains a 'C' software library

SSMTP

SSMTP is a program to deliver an E-mail from your Humax to a mailhost or mailhub, It will not handle incomming E-Mail

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.

It is also possible to use Telnet supplied in some versions Microsoft Windows e.g. Start >> Run >> CMD >> Telnet

Telnet is available in Windows XP, However Vista and Windows 7 will require Telnet to be enabled with Control Panel >> Programs and Features >> Turn Windows Features On / Off >> 'Tick' Telnet

NOTES

• Telnet command lines on this WiKi are identified by a Yellow Background
• [Putty] Telnet >> Connection >> Telnet >> return Key sends Telnet New Line instead of ^M should be 'un-Ticked'
• [Windows] Telnet >> unset crlf

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 resident Busybox package, There are also serveral packages that can be installed to suit your editing preferencies e.g. Vim Basic, Vim Standard, Joe and Nano

Transmission (Bit Torrent)

A Bit-Torrent client for the Humax. This has a web interface which runs on port 8080 by default. Allows the Humax to download files from the Internet using the BitTorrent protocol

• 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 (Upload Torrent Files) which opens and browse for the torrent
• When found highlight it then select 'Open'
• Select 'Upload'
• If the 'Start when added' box is checked the download will start immediately

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

Unencrypt

This function will unencrypt all files in a designated directory (or all files in My Video) automatically, Files are de-crypted 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

• Auto-Unprotect must be running
• Media sharing must = on
• Set-up Telnet as follows :- Putty Configuration >> Catagory = Telnet >> return Key sends Telnet New Line instead of ^M should be 'un-Ticked' (or if using Windows Telnet use "unset crlf" before opening the session)

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)

NOTE:- In Ver 1.1 there is a 1 Day offset e.g. selecting 2 Days = Delete after 3 days

Vi

Text Editor, See Text Editors. A basic version of Vi is built into the resident Busybox package

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

Web IF

Screen Shots HIDE Release Notes
