Any body have any issues with the media player - keep loosing communcitaions? I have a wired network (no wireless) in my house, conncetd to a 24 port switch, every once in a while when i am watching a film via the Humax, streamed across the network from my tera station i get an error that says there was a network issue. I have played and stremaed other diveces from the same cable with issues in eth past.

Any thoughts?

I am ruinning the .20 firmware issued in June.

Thanks

John

This situation is very similar to mine but whenever I manage to get streaming running it cuts off after 10 minutes.
So will be very interested in any responces.
See my thread "Problems Streaming Video between Humax Fox T2's via LAN"

No issues with streaming and my Fox T2. Have watched numerous files (average 1hr 30mins) with no issues. Have latest Humax FW installed

I am now seeing this. For me it happens about an hour into the programme. I get no error message, the unit just returns to the media list. Very annoying, especially when its an HD file and I can't use the fast forward or skip buttons to take me to the place where it happened!

I'm having this problem where a video stream from my WD Live Book (into Gigabit Ethernet TP Link router and via 150mbps wireless access point) drops after 20/30 mins.

Same video streams fine to a Windows 7 laptop so I suspect it's the Hummy being funny?

Is the Windows 7 laptop connected wirelessly? I would try temporarily connecting the Humax by a cable to the router to see if the problem is the Humax or the network. My money is on something in the network.

Hi Martin, yes the Windows 7 laptop connects wirelessly. I will try a wired connection and report back.

I am having same issues with connection dropping out every 30 minutes over a lan making it impossible to watch any films streamed from my NAS drive without interuption.
