Diagnostic Utilities

From the main Web-If menu page clicking on Diagnostics will pull up this page :-

Run Diagnostic options

'general' diagnostic is the default and clicking on Run Diagnostic will result in the display above, The following is a list of other available Diagnostic commands that can replace 'general' :-

• assignhd = configure a USB Drive on the HD-Fox T2 for use with the Custom Firmware
• boot2fix = Fix some aspects of the 'General' Diagnostic
• chanpush = Initiates an instant send of channel information to Remote Scheduling server
• cpdiag = custom portal diagnostics
• disable_tsr = disable Time Shift Recording (while tuned to a channel which is not currently broadcasting)
• diskattr = display disk attributes using SMART (smartmontools) data. Note:- Remove USB HDDs before running
• diskpush = Initiates an instant send of 'Full' HDD inventory to Remote Scheduling server
• enable_tsr = re-enable Time Shift Recording
• fix-flash-packages = fix problems caused by not running prepare_for_upgrade
• flashmap = show flash memory layout
• prepare_for_upgrade = prevent package failure during an upgrade from 1.02.20 to 1.02.28 (See Note 2)
• remove_mod_yes_i_am_sure = removes all Custom Firmware
• remove_portals = remove all installed Custom TV Portals
• removepw = remove password authentication from the web interface
• reset_unprotect = Forces a rescan of files to be processed using the auto unprotect package
• reset_webif = reset the web interface settings back to the defaults

Notes

1) The above diagnostics commands can also be run from a Telnet Command line e.g.

diag prepare_for_upgrade

2) Some packages need to store files in flash rather than on the disk so that they are available before the Humax software starts. Humax upgrades can overwrite these flash locations (1.02.27 & 1.02.28 overwrite the flash area that contains Sky Player). Prepare_for_upgrade stores copies of the custom files in another flash location so that they can be automatically restored later. (See fix-flash-packages for problems with redring, undelete, portal-xtra1 etc)

Force Reinstall

Enter the name of an installed package here to force a re install in order to fix a problem with it.
