Hi,

When I press the recordings button to access the files, enigma gets thinking and stuck, and file list are not shown. If I reboot it works fine, but after of some hours of normal use, if I press the recording button same problem again.

I thought firstly that it could be a problem when trying to start the hdd after it goes to standby, but it is not the case, as I have it to go into standby after 5 min, and after a reboot evryrithing works fine the first couple of hours.

It is tricky therefore as I cannot get a clue of the possible reason, and as it does not crash, it won't generate a log, I guess.

It is happening since the kernel update.

Someone else is experiencing the same problem, or has an idea of the possible cause?

Best regards,

Sounds like the harddisk isn't responding. You should check that using ftp or telnet.

Thxn, I'll try to acces via ftp next time it gets stuck to see if I can acces hdd, and feedback. Right now it is working (murphy).

Hi,

It happenned again, and meawhile enima is "thinking" and stuck, I do can access the hdd folder and files through ftp, therfore the harddisk is responding.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

In that case you should start enigma in the foreground and watch the output.

telnet box
init 4
enigma2

when done, type init 3 to start enigma in the normal way.

But anyway, completely flashing the box is probably the fastest way to get rid of the problem.

Ok, it seems that the problme is not within the hdd but with mounted net units.

I have changed from duo to Vu ultimo, and still having same problme with pli. I even initilized again the hdd just in case, and still having the issue. Today I realized that it seems to be with mounted net units.

I have 2 folder from the PC mounted to /media/net as cifs, and the with a symlink to /hdd/movie so I can alos acces the films from the pc.

Today when I got again frozen when trying to access the recoreded movies I realized that I could acces by ftp the hdd folder but I was not able to access the /media/net content. Nor via ftp nor via telnet (stuck when duing ls insider /media net folder). If I reboot everithing OK, I can acces the folder from the PC and the problem only occurss after some time of usage.

Any Idea? It is only occurring since the 3.1.1. kernel update.

As info the PC is runnig W7.

I was not able to short our the problem until i set up a nfs server in the PC and make teh conecction through NFS, instead of CIFs, therfore I assume that the problme was related to CIFs mounting, that it was disconeceted after a certain time. With NFS is working and stable.
