    Any other setting and you lose some of the menu settings - and not only in the Network section. From memory, some of AV settings go missing and probably a few more elsewhere.

    Possibly having a setting backup with the Setup mode = simple or intermedite results in a the menus items being hidden after a image download followed by a restore of settings. You first need a setting backup with the mode set to Expert.

    Hi adm,

    Give the man a cigar. Just checked the settings file from a backup and you were right, it was set to simple. It's odd because one of the first things I do is set it to expert, so I am not sure how it reverted. I suppose the obvious explanation is that I did not on this occasion. Must be old age.

    Sorry to all for the now irrelevant post. Admins, feel free to remove it.

    Regards,

    Craig

    Thanks birdman,

    I captured some logs with OpenViX 5.1.026 and 5.1.027. The former shows this in the log:

    However, the 5.1.027 log does not show any "TIMER:" entries and consequently does not enter into Deep Standby after the recording. It also does not enter into plain Standby during the recording. So it seems to me something was changed between the two OpenViX images to cause this. Is there anything more I should post to help decipher what may be causing this problem?
    Kind regards,

    Mick

    Well, my ET10k hasn't dropped back to standby for the 1st recording of the day for 4 days now.
    It used to nearly always work as expected.

    I'm still on 5.1.026, I've switched on debug logs and I'll see what happens next time.

    Didn't drop to standby today, no references to "wakeup to standby detected" in debug log, still on 5.1.026.

    Didn't drop to standby again today.

    Last night's closedown had.....

    Code:
    <  9956.868> set wakeup time to 2018/05/24 18:20
    <  9956.868> recordTimerWakeupAuto True

    That's usual. It's setting a wake-up timer (on the front panel) to wakeup the box a few minutes before the next timer is due to start.
    The problem seems to be around when tat timer gets activated.

    I tried switching on the et10k 20 minutes before a scheduled timer, and then switched it back to deep standby again.

    It woke at 17:36:08 (pc time) and went to standby soon after, and the recording started at 17:40:00.

    Navigation.py:

    Code:
    59 	if self.__nextRecordTimerAfterEventActionAuto and abs(self.RecordTimer.getNextRecordingTime() - now) <= 360: 
    60 	print '[Navigation] RECTIMER: wakeup to standby detected.'
    I'll take some timings next time it doesn't work.

    With <20 mins to go to start a recording it will wake up at ~ the correct time even teh fp clock is out by a bit.

    My MBtwin rarely recorded in Standby, as it's FP clock ran fast (much better than running slow...) so it often woke up ~30 mins before a recording. At that point the box reckoned it wasn't waking up for a recording.

    It would be interesting to know what time (i.e. how far in advance) your box is waking up for recordings which don't get run in Standby, but "should".

    After 20 hours in deep standby, today's timer woke up 11 seconds sooner than yesterdays, and didn't go back to standby.

    Woke at 17:53:57 (pc time when boot started), and the timer began at 17:58:00.

    The code has a 6-minute leeway, so that should have been OK.
    The only others things that would disable this (that I can see) are:
    • the next record timer was not set to "after event" == auto.
    • the system clock was not yet set when enigma2 started

    The timer today happened to have "after event" set to "auto", (not sure why, as I always default autotimers to "deep standby").

    Yesterdays (it runs as first timer of the day, every day, Monday-Saturday), the one that "used to work most of the time", is always set to "do nothing".

    I re-updated to 5.1.027, but instead of flashing a complete image and restoring settings, I used the Software Update in situ. Following this the Mut@nt appears to behave correctly, i.e. it wakes up from Deep Standby and once the recording is completed, it goes back into Deep Standby. So, something may have changed in the overall 027 image that causes this?

    If from what you write the system clock is important, should I have this set up via NTP, rather than via the transponder signal? Perhaps it will pick up a time from NTP before the transponder tunes in and this may make a difference.
    Kind regards,

    Mick
