Most HD recordings are encrypted - shown as "Enc" in Media on the HDR.Twonky to WDLive issue - why do some videos play and some not? Is it to do with the format difference of HD\SD channels?

http://www.avforums.com/forums/18051843-post715.htmlmodified settop executable ... hmm interesting... do you have details or are you going to force me to use my brain and google it?!
Had been looking for that "fix" - thanks.
My next project was investigating how to include non-Freesat channels - more research methinks before I take the pill.Record everything unencrypted and on a schedule so you can put it anywhere, that's how TV should be.
Oh, side note: be careful when adding non-Freesat channels to the regular Freesat EPG using the web interface. You lose now/next EPG data on any non-Freesat channels which don't also pick up on regular Freesat, plus if you add too many you can lose the entire channel list for both modes. It's a mistake I've made a couple of times.
To be honest though, unless you're in dire need of more foreign language/religious/porn channels there isn't really much of value on non-Freesat with a regular static dish pointing towards 28.2/28.5 satellites. And even European HD channels which used to broadcast FTA seem to be going encrypted now...
as you know there is an option via the web interface / EPG to set a recording, after you do that, it prompts you that in order for it work you need to reboot, is there any way round this, like when you do it via the web interface it will take immediate effect just like as if you were using the GUI on the box itself
i *presume* the reason for this is its reliant on a file being written that probably doesnt then get invoked till next boot, but am interested to know what this file is and to explore the possibility of some workaround for reloading this file on the fly
thanks for any info
Yep, assuming the recording isn't same day and you're going to be switching the box off anyway it's not a big deal. At least with the web interface or telnet you can do a warm reboot so you're not stop/starting the hard drive.
Only problem I'm having with the web interface is that it seems to get sluggish during FTP transfers and/or completely drops requiring a telnet "service stop mongoose / service start mongoose". Installing the servermon plugin didn't seem to help sadly.
What I like to do in these cases is find what causes the crash in the first place but I don't know enough about the Foxsat HDR to guess anything other than "out of memory" issue.
Works for me, if I stop Mongoose it re-starts by itself. There was a bug in the first released version. Have you checked for an update ?

as it happens, often, the recordings are the same day, and the box has never been switched off in 4 years. and as people are watching their programmes in one part of the house invariably when i wish to set a recording remotely via the web interface for that night, there isnt a choice of rebooting (as i wouldnt know when there was someone in the middle of watching something)

Both in fact. It performs a simple check for TS files in use in the video folder (excluding 0.ts of course) so will warn for both recording and playing back.The web interface does warn you if it's recording when a reboot is required, but not playing back, I think.
