Humax / Re: HDR-7500T booting problem ...

Last post by nedsnow - May 27, 2024, 10:33:04 AM

Hi GregM

I have two HDR7500Ts with EXACTLY this problem. When the first one failed, I assumed that the fact it would boot with the HDD disconnected probably meant a fault in the disk controller. When the second one failed, I found your post in a Google search, and immediately tested it. I plugged my original IceBox SDD in, and the Humax booted as you described. I bought two brand new WD 1TB drives, but neither one fixes the problem. I plugged in a 1TB 2.5in drive from an old laptop, and it worked fine. I then tried copying the first GB of the 2.5in drive to one of the new drives using dd, but it still wouldn't accept it. Do you have any idea what's stopping the Humax from accepting these new drives? They work fine on my computer via a USB case.

Had no issues then, can I run an Ethernet cable from the IceBox direct to my iMac for file transfer but maintain a WiFi connection for IceTV service?

It looks possible, but tricky. See posts #8 and #9 at https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/14921-how-to-make-some-services-use-wired-network-and-some-wireless/

My modem/router is quite some distance from Entertainment centre, and running e/net cables across flooring, walls and ceiling  is very inconvenient.

If you have a reasonably young house, and modern wiring, it would probably be worth looking at powerline adapters to give you just an ethernet connection for both internet and file transfer. In my experience, with an older house, data transfer rates are pretty woeful and probably not good enough for reliably streaming live TV or playing recordings via a PC. You could also try a wifi extender,but again, depending on how good they might be, could be equally limiting with regard to data transfer. I have no experience with them, but I have recently installed a wifi6 mesh system that does make a reasonable fist of data transfer over about a 15 metre distance, running in "wifi access mode" rather than as a separate router, with ethernet ports that can be used to either directly connect individual devices or a number via a router or switch. I get good performance streaming live TV or recordings from my IceBox BYO, and of course the icebox is always connected to the internet through this link.

Edit: If all you're looking for is an internet connection to update the IceBox from IceTV servers, then I think relatively cheap powerline adapters should do the job. Maybe keep the wifi mesh system on ice for when you need good wifi coverage for other devices.

Is it just the name, or is that when you schedule a recording for 9Go! (LCN 99) - the HD one - that it records the SD LCN instead.

That is exactly how I have it set up.

The problem is that 99 is not 9Go! anymore, it is 9Go!HD.
The EPG is only showing info for 9Go!.  9Go!HD does appear anywhere in the guide.

99 needs an entry of its own so that 93 can be disabled as I have done with NITV.

I have found that Video Proc can do the editing I need on my Mac. A paid for software.

Thanks raymondjpeg, your mention of " If wireless, then a whole other story" somewhat answers the issue.
I had a wired network at my last residence, now am completely wireless due to restrictions on running cabling.
I recall that some years back, I used to connect an Apple TV directly to my (much older) Mac with an ethernet cable, still using WiFi for internet.
Had no issues then, can I run an Ethernet cable from the IceBox direct to my iMac for file transfer but maintain a WiFi connection for IceTV service?
