I hope that somebody on these forums can help me.
I have a Humax 5000T. My computer is a Mac (currently running High Sierra if that is in any way relevant).
What I want to be able to do is to download recordings from my Humax, save them to my computer and watch them away from home.
None of the recordings are HD. I can categorically state that they are all SD.
I have set up the Humax so I can see it in my Finder window and I can see all the files that are on there. I have downloaded one recording (the .TS file, not all the other files that came with it). My Finder window tells me that the recording has downloaded and takes up 2.17GB.
I have tried opening the downloaded file in VLC and it will open but it will not play. Nothing happens when I try to hit Play. And in the playlist it says it has 00:00 duration.
I can access the existing (undownloaded) recordings on the Humax via VLC using Universal Plug'n'Play to view the local network. However I can't download them using that. I need to be able to watch some of this stuff away from home so the network is not really much use to me.
If the answer to this has been posted elsewhere then please send a link. I have tried searching but nothing I have found has referred to Macs (only to PCs) or else not to the 5000T.
