Getting Help / Re: Slow file transfer
Last post by TimC - May 19, 2024, 01:04:24 AMQuote from: NBOSTI on May 18, 2024, 10:54:13 PMIs Samba the only file transfer protocol available for IceBox? Am I missing something in settings on IceBox or Mac/network?
I just use my Local Network. I found that ICEBOX appeared in the Network folder on my PC and when I opened it, I could see the Recordings folder. The transfer was slowish, but much better than what you described. About 4 hours to copy pretty much a Terabyte.

Getting Help / Slow file transfer
Last post by NBOSTI - May 18, 2024, 10:54:13 PMO.K. So I like to transfer and save some recorded files to my Mac. Add them to my existing Library.
In order to use another player to use at later date. Infuse can handle playing back the .mkv files. although some program names are generic. So I edit Meta Data. All good.
The issue; I find that with Samba the file transfer from IceBox to Mac can take a long time, up to 2 hours or more for a movie. A 1/2 hour tv show can take over an hour.
When I used to use AFP to transfer files between systems on my network, mainly between Macs, it would only be a matter of minutes to complete.
Is Samba the only file transfer protocol available for IceBox? Am I missing something in settings on IceBox or Mac/network?
Just seems extremely slow when my network performs fast with other transfers and streaming.

Last post by 2353 - May 18, 2024, 10:41:33 AMQuote from: TimC on January 28, 2024, 12:12:25 AMMy understanding of the Harmony is that it is an IR Device, not RF.Thanks for the post and i haven't done anything about getting an IceBox yet. My understanding is the Harmony Elite is a RF device as it comes with a 'blaster' (for want of a better term) to place in the AV cabinet as well as two additional IR generators to put under the receiver of 'difficult' rquipment items.

Getting Help / Re: Lost autoskip function aft...
Last post by Daniel Hall at IceTV - May 16, 2024, 05:38:25 PMHi Ian,
The file is only in place while the automatic commercial detection process is running, if nothing is being processed at the time then the file will not be there.
So if you haven't had any recordings finish recently it will not be there, but within about 2 minutes of Pointless finishing being recorded it will show up again as the process starts for that recording.

Last post by Ian_AW - May 16, 2024, 03:17:13 PMNow that has gotten me wondering what is going on.
I was getting no ad skipping. I checked the folder and found NO 'commskip_running'. No amount of waiting saw it being created. I did a reboot and the file was created.
Since this morning, the file is no longer there. At the moment Pointless is being downloaded (in the post-padding part) and 'commskip_running' is nowhere to be seen.
When is the file created, or when does it need to be there?
I did a search for 'commskip_running' on the icebox drive and there is nothing found.

Last post by Ian_AW - May 15, 2024, 06:34:00 PMQuote from: Aardvark on May 15, 2024, 05:16:06 PMDid you delete the commskip_running file?
Well, I found the post of where it would be \userdata\addon_data\service.icetv but there was no commskip_running file.
As there was a break in recordings, I did a reboot and when it started, the file was created.
I will have to wait for a new recording to complete to check.
So, when can this file be created or is a reboot needed if not there.
Fingers crossed.
