9300-T : Strange recording behaviour

There are quite a few reports of difficulty in loading files back onto a 9300T (in my experience there is no problem with the 9200T) and I don't think the reason is understood. Please could you update us in a few days to confirm that the recordings have stayed visible and playable.

Still going strong so far:
- original problem hasn't re-appeared
- re-uploaded shows still showing + playing Ok. [Some have the incorrect name due to original problem on the recording]
Although
- Some shows, particularly ITV3/Channel 4 / Film 4 still a bit glitchy at times, but I believe this is a separate known issue due to broadcast.

The two things I did differently on the last attempt (see previous post) were:
- Ran humaxcheck 3: -l to see files for the above msg.
- Turned the box on, but didn't go into the menu system for a while ~ 20min

My un-educated guess would be the last one - turning it on but not entering menu for a while.

Thanks for coming back and confirming the good news.

Hard to understand why that should help but certainly worth trying for anybody else having problems uploading recordings.

Maybe an assumption on my part- but from various snippets of info found in these forums it sounded like the box might do some recording list re-indexing work from time to time.
In addition to keeping backup copies of the list.

e.g.
https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/restoring-recordings-and-list-to-humax-pvr-9200t
See point 47
(Although for 9200T)
My box wasn't un-responsive at all, but thought I might as well give it some time to settle just in case. And the time I did - the list was populated.

Alas - the box seems to have started to missbehave again - recordings that won't play and recording over existing programs with something different.
May investigate getting a replacement drive.
