Yes, I got that already - did not have time to check it out yet.
Anyway.
I had to re-flash a second time and it reminds me of flashing an Android phone - sometimes you flash and you get NO problems coming up, until something does not work!
i.e. sometime flashing and all OK is in fact NOT all OK.
This second time I flashed, I managed to do everything within 1 hour and I firmly believe the 'Flashing' is the one that 'might' cause problems sometime - probably part of it is is corrupted while flashing but 'not' detected as corrupted until it is used.
I am back where I was, so I will setup recordings emulating my old Humax and see how it goes - also to get used to it.
My main steps still to do are:
1. I need to get head round 'properly' and swiftly set Auto-Recording 'series' without losing any episodes
2. Probably use a second USB stick for Picons/Image recovery/storage
3. See how I can create/delete folders on HDD to organise recordings as for what I see, OpenVix does not auto-create folders per each series of recording or repeating recording of same titled programme
4. DONE - I have a small USB FAT formatted with OpenVix - in case of re-flashing
5. I have an old HDD I keep 'some' of my family images and might use it to backup recordings - have to see how to do it from OpenVix GIU/Addons - then when I can afford it, I will get a second 2Tb HDD and clone 1st one - I wonder if possible to get a Linux based Cloning - like Clonezilla into OpenVix as main HDD is internal !
Is there a mini Windows or Linus Virtual environment install into internal HDD and run it as a PC GIU and manage HDDs/USB sticks etc. ?
A lot to learn, I am the kind of person that likes to setup everything to run as smoothly as possible and manage it all myself.
Then I will switch to use Gigablue as MAIN receiver and slowly watch what is recorded in the Humax, until is all are gone and then I will reformat it and re-flash it for secondary use.
The only problem I have with old Humax is that system is 'probably' corrupted.
Re-flashing once or twice or even 'three times' might resolve situation.
I hope this thread helps others as it covers various subjects on he same receiver.
Flashing doesn't cause problems/corruptions, it's what you do (or not do) afterwards which will cause you issues if you get it wrong.
You can record series easily on ViX, I do it all the time. Try not to mimic the Humax, ViX will do everything you want (and more), but in a different way.
