Thank you so much, I'm recommissioning an old box and that should sort it out.
The timeshift buffer re-name worked very well, the Foxsat has been very stable since, thanks GrahamThe CF has a disk file system check and repair capability. Before you do this try renaming the time shift buffer file 0.ts to say 0.old. This will force the box to create another buffer file on a different area of the hard disk.

Managed to install raydon V4.1.3 but cannot proceed and I cannot find it with my web browser, ftp or telnet.

I have a Foxsat-HDR I have managed to install the raydon V4.1.3 and completed the installation where the banner is provided above. When I
try to access the Foxsat-HDR using Telnet, or FTP I cannot find it on my network. If I use my router diagnostics then I can see the IP address and can ping it successfully. What channel should I be trying to access the Foxsat-HDR with and is there any other way to enable access over my network?
This is not the expected behaviour. Rebooting via the web interface should bring your box back into a booted state and not in standby. The web interface is merely doing a "reboot" (or perhaps a "shutdown -r now") at the box's operating system level. Unfortunately I can't really think of a reason why yours would shut down into standby and not reboot. Very strange.Long standing issues, aka stuff I haven't found a solution for using CF
- When setting timers via webif I need to reboot the device to set them. This leaves my pvr in standby mode and inaccessible until the morning housekeeping boot. Is there a fix for this- to boot into non-standby mode?
There are plenty of posts in this thread (and the earlier parts of it) about keeping EPG data up-to-date. This will happen automatically if your Humax is in full standby (i.e. not within 15 minutes of a scheduled recording) at 3am.- Sometimes epg data is not processed and "last epg data" is *months* out of date. This doesn't affect the device UI or recordings in any way. Can I force a "go away and process all the outstanding schedule data" task?
If you are using Nowster's patch to enable HD recordings to be unencrypted, check you have the correct version. An early release of this patch did cause an issue with time zones. Again, there are plenty of posts in this forum pointing to the correct version of this patch (like #122 on this page for example!).- Various oddnesses relating to DST, though I think these are fixed? I'm looking out for them so will report if they're still evident.
Given that you started that post with "I recently upgraded the WebIf..." I will assume that everything was working fine before the upgrade. If this is true, and you were accessing it over your tunnel previously then the only real conclusion is, as you say, "the WebIf is bust for some reason".Ok, so I recently upgraded the webif and now I'm seeing this when I go to epg.jim:
.......
Any ideas how I fix this?
The caveat here is that I'm tunnelling over ssh from abroad thus
ssh -L16384vr.address:80 my.home.server
http://localhost:16384/
All I can think is that
- the webif is bust for some reason? I tried opkg install webif --force-reinstall which did not work
- some webif data is bust? I replaced my webif.db with the default one installed with opkg and that didn't have any effect
- I need another port open? 80 isn't enough? Seems unlikely....
- Something is taking too long and being killed with SIGBUS? Too much pending data?

You can force an EPG refresh by going into the Guide pages and waiting for the background audio to return and then rebooting the box. I appreciate that you are remote from your Humax but you could achieve this via the Web Interface remote control ...... Press the Guide button, wait 3-4 minutes (to be safe), reboot the box using the "reboot now" plug-in. Although I guess this just brings us full cricle to your first point re. rebooting the box!!

My suggestion would be a full reset (see posts #124 and #125 above) but appreciate that it might take a bit of courage to do this if remote from the box itself.
Ah ok- there may be but I didn't realise there was a problem with the reliability of that functionality. FWIW my machine is set to standby at 0255 and wake at 0320 and I rarely record something around that time.
No problem with reliability at all. My Humax works perfectly and has done for years.
The box uses a mixture of UTC and Local times (depends on the function it is executing and the data it is storing). For example, the EPG timestamps are all UTC but the recording schedule timestamps are localised. IIRC the housekeeping boot happens at 3am UTC. Which means that during the summer, housekeeping actually happens at 4am local time. Your timers will be running on local time too, so your box won't be in standby for housekeeping during the summer.
Mind you - that's all from memory - don't have access to my Humax right now. I'm sure someone will correct me if I've got that wrong.
Oh - and unfortunately, when the box is in standby the custom firmware isn't running (effectively the OS isn't loaded) so there's no way of forcing the box out of standby (including wake-on-LAN).

Not quite I mean "reliable" as in "my EPG is bang up to date every day on both the Humax UI and the Web interface. Day in, day out. With boring, metronomic consistency. Without any intervention from me - ever!".I suspect you're meaning "reliability" as in "it doesn't crash".

But then again, I am perhaps a more typical user than yourself. My box is booted out of standby of an evening so that we can watch TV and then put into standby when I retire for the day.
