Run Diagnostic options (* = available from pull down Menu)

'general' diagnostic is the default, The following is a list of other available Diagnostic commands that can replace it :-

  • 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
  • enable_tsr = re-enable Time Shift Recording
  • epgrange = display date range of EPG data *
  • diagmode = Invoke Maintenance Mode after a power cycle *
  • disable_tsr = disable Time Shift Recording (while tuned to a channel which is not currently broadcasting)
  • diskattr = display disk attributes using SMART (smartmontools) data.
  • diskpush = Initiates an instant send of 'Full' HDD inventory to Remote Scheduling server
  • dustbin/empty = force an undelete dusbin empty (note 1 - 10 day delay will still apply)
  • fix-flash-packages = fix problems caused by not running prepare_for_upgrade *
  • flashmap = show flash memory layout
  • general = General Diagnostics *
  • ir3/debugon = Enable remote control input to be logged in the humaxtv.log
  • ir3/debugoff = disable remote control input being logged in the humaxtv.log
  • prepare_for_upgrade = prevent package failure during an upgrade from 1.02.20 or earlier to 1.02.27 or later * (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
  • resetrma = remove the Return to Manufacturer (RMA) Mode request (diag resetrma from Telnet)
  • 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. Upgrades to 1.02.27 or later can overwrite these flash locations. 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, ir etc)

3) To view the content of a diagnostic option enter e.g. http://hummypkg.org.uk/diag/boot2fix


Force Reinstall

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