I connected a Seagate 1GB USB3 hard disk to my VU+ Uno4KSE running PLI 8.0.

I copied a number of recorded programs from the internal hard disk to this external hard disk.

 

I have the following questions (problems):

 

- How to know a copy operation has completed? There is no feed back.

 

- How to know I can safely remove the external hard disk?

 

(After a while I thought was long enough to finish the copying I put the machine into standby and removed the external hard disk. It turned out not to be long enough and some programs hadn't finished copying. Also, the machine later did not want to come out of standby anymore and after a full power down/up it turned out that programs hadn't been recorded.)

 

Is there a limit to the number of programs can order to be copied? At the moment a copy command is ready immediately, while the copying goes on in the background, and I can order a next program to be copied, and the next and next...

 

Concerning how to know copying has completed, maybe a rotating red circle on the left of the program being copied?

Concerning how to safely remove the hard disk: don't while there are still rotating red circles.

Concerning max number of copy commands pending I would expect an error message that the queue is full?

If I remember correctly, the current progress of copying/moving files you can see under the blue button

Correct.

[PaulOgilvie]

Which blue button/where?

The blue button in the Recorded programs list is labelled "sort".

I can't think of any other place.

Please help.

When watching live tv, I'd guess.

When watching TV pressing the blue button will open up the Extensions Menu.

Yes, found it!

 

But this is "insider knowledge." A better way of providing feedback on copy progress is recommended (see my suggestions).

 

Thank you,

Paul
